In NY there are only two types of customer service. The really good and the really bad. The really good is great fun and the sales people are very nice and helpful.
The bad ones are really bad, its almost as if they are deliberately trying not to sell you something or that you are really bothering them by coming into the shop! Chris asked to try on a pair of shoes she knew wouldn't fit just to make the sales guy go out the back and get them, he was so unhelpful! In another shop two young ladies were behind the counter, one reading the paper and the other on the computer and we were in the shop for 10 minuets and they didn't acknowledge us once (there were no other customers so they weren't exactly busy).
The galleries are amazing, in fact you can start to get very blase about the monets, van goghs, picassos, grecos, van meers, rubens', turners, whistlers, etc., atc. I've not seen so much stuff in one place before its actually quite astonishing. I ran into someone from Melbourne at the Frick gallery...it is definitely a small world!
Today we went to see Fela on Broadway, it was quite good but not what I'd call fantastic, It certainly well done with great costumes and dancing. But the audience loved it and in typical American style were whooing and gave standing ovations. But they seem to Whoo at just about anything so I suppose this show deserved to be whooed just as much as anything else!
Everyone in the states thinks we are english (sorry Fritzey), they can't distinguish the australian accent from the pommie. Although someone said to day that we sounded more refined than other australians she had heard.
