New York City. August 2000
           
 
 

Weekend, August 11-12, 2000

GOT MY CAMERA BACK!!! Just in time when Nadja is visiting the United States. Got to visit a museum, eat at an excellent Chinese restaurant (for $3.95 a meal!), and rode in a RX-7 Twin Turbo...


 
 
 
 


This is my friend Bill:, sometime triathlete, fulltime computer genius nice guy.

Bill race cars for fun (legally, at the tracks of course):
...and sometimes accidents happen...

Woke up early to check out the repair status of Bill's RX7... not bad at all, at least for leaving it at the shop for almost a whole year!

Then we went to pick Nadja up from the airport (Nadja is the daughter of Helmut, who's appeared in numerous photos of my travelogue-Germany section). Nadja is visiting the United States and I figure she should come experience New York City as part of her US-visit.

First stop, Chinatown and Little Italy:

This special link is for my friend Kyle, to whom I promised directions to this restaurant since almost a year ago (Here you go!) Best bang-for-the-buck genuine Chinese cuisine ($3.95 an order of mouth-watering pork-chops with rice!) - May-Wah is located two blocks off Canal Street, between Hester and Baxter.
