New York City!

Small place to stay, but clean and safe enough (and cheap enough!) Hau (pronounced"how", aka "Nymeriastark") has been an excellent tour guide. We met up with Whitney ("Inori") and Johnny (no idea his AKA), and they took us to China Town, a "cream puff" shop, a chocolate shop (yes, that is a chocolate pizza...), a book store, and we watched him play chess with one of the commoners in Washington Park. Pictures below...

(Jess did a great job taking pictures, especially this one - you can actually see that the guy on the left ("commoner") had JUST hit his 'timer' (it was a timed game) when Hau (right) moved in to get his Queen back; it was so dynamic and exciting to watch. The last 30 seconds litterally consisted of at least 30 moves; one move per second is INSANE in chess.)
