Saturday 24: Woke up and started walking. No place in particular just started walking and ended up seeing most of the monuments. Met my colleagues, invited me out. Went out at 11pm to a club called SOB's, west African vibe, went on the subway for the first time (thx feven). Got a burger in times square.
Sunday 25: Brave from previous night subway trip decided to find my adapter. Got lost, and lost and lost. Ended up in china town then found a massive festival in little Italy, found the electronics store by accident - no adapter, got lost ended up at the American museum of Natural history. Went in walked around, too tired for central park, watched a dance battle.
Monday 26: First day of work, began training, everybody is really great, small teams of about ten per shift, 300+ arrivals a day but no hurry, insanely efficient staff. Found a small pub down the road called Snafu, Bulgarian bartender says she'll help me find an apartment in Astoria.
Tuesday 27: Training and bed
Wednesday 28: Training and then walking the rooms with the newbies. Trying to get my head around all the different kinds of rooms that make up the 4000 in the Waldorf. Went with colleague to Chinatown to buy a turtle and ate dim sum, walked half way across the Manhattan bridge before heading back to the hotel.
