Virgin to New York

The last time I was here, I didn't really have much to say about my first visit. Since participating in StreetWars however...

I arrived at Newark airport midnight. Too late for shuttle buses, and too early to be taken advantage of by extortionate taxis.
Made friends with a guy named S, who had been living in Bath and had no dollar currency. Luckily I gladly accepted his GBP for an exchange and bought me some good traveller karma with my help. We took the Air Train to get to Manhattan, and on the way conversed with an E from Houston, a J from Argentina, and a fellow Londoner C. Parted ways, exchanged well wishes, smiles, and emails.

It seems I dragged the monsoon weather from Manila, as it was stupidly windy and rainy. Tipped the cab driver the obligatory 20%, am now checked-in at the headquarters of the Supreme Commander.
