Day 4 - The Game

Today we woke up at around 7 and was ready for something to eat right away, so we headed for 'ellen's star dust' a very cool place where the waiters and waitresses would sing when they were notwaiting tables. This was great fun and i had chocolate chip pancake, which where great and set me for the day.

We then headed for the sony centre where they had a huge store full of amazing tech, and a interactive thingy where you walked around and it told you about history of sony etc. This was ok but aimed at a younger age group really. After the sony centre we took a walk to apples flag ship store, now i don't normally like anything to do with apple however the store was very cool, the whole store was underground and the entrance was a large glass cube. We walked around the store and looked at the over priced mac stuff, then decided it was time to crash in the hotel for a few mins before we headed for the baseball game that evening.

We met up with my grandparents friend again and went down to the subway to get a train, the place was just the same as most subway i had been to, very hot and very busy. We crammed are selves into the train and headed for the stadium.

The trip talk about 30min, however for a long time we where able to get seats so most of the trip was......live able.

We got to the stadium and filtered through up to the seats and got hotdogs and drinks. The game was the mets against the braves, and was my first baseball game. For those that have never been there are people always working around the seats selling food and drinks etc. After this i decided that the new york accent is completely suited to shouting really loudly 'SODA' and 'WATER', one women could be heard from nearly half way round the stadium. There was also a child behind us that everytime she yelled would echo it back in a fake New York accent which was very funny.

In the end the mets won 8-4 so everyone was very happy, but like 5 seconds after they had won and the game was over there was a spot of rain and then within seconds there was a full blown storm with very strong winds and lighting etc. it was very cool but made getting back to the train station very interesting, lets just say we where not the driest of people by the time we made it to the station.

The ride back was fine apart from the lighting which was moving closer and closer, now we decided being in a completely metal train may not be the best of places to be when lighting hit, but we made it and noone got fried.

What was even better was when we got out of the subway the rain had stopped and talk with it much of the heat, so we happily walked back to the hotel where we collapsed on the beds before getting ready to go to sleep. At this point the tv was on and so once we where ready for bed I turned it off, however about 2 seconds later it turned itself back on.....it keeps doing this if you use the remote to turn it off which is very very strange and a bit odd, but hey its a hotel weirder things have happened........
