You meet some strange people in this country...

New York last weekend: more about that in a dedicated post (after I've emailed Toria, who is apparently feeling neglected). Before that though, I thought maybe people who don't/can't fully appreciate the timewasting wonder that is Facebook would like to meet a few of the dodgy characters that I've gotten to know over the past weeks:

From left to right, Priyan (well part of him anyway), Steven and Adamsan. All from Imperial, although some more officially than others.

Matt, another Imperial person and a Physicist, so he must be cool. He also juggles at random moments, such as here on the subway platform waiting for the train.

Barbara and Emma, computer science major from Ohio and future Yale Law School student from Newark respectively. Emma is one of the two lovely ladies who have been looking after all of us in the dorm, and is possibly the only other person I've met who appreciates Doctor Who in the same way that I do. Barbara is visiting Delaware from Xavier University, Cincinnati and has Mad Foozball Skills.

This is Mark, who is from Long Island. I don't know whether he normally does this on the subway or whether it's just for our benefit, but it would be interesting to see him try and do so on the tube. Mark thinks that he has Mad Foozball Skills, but he is mistaken.
Matt, Adam and Priyan again, with Mike, Ilana and Cecilia. Mike I only met at the weekend, so I don't know much about him but he appears to be cool. Ilana (in the middle) is my roommate, who is very nice, gives me sweetcorn and milks cows. Cecilia is the other Imperial student and the only one of us Brits who wasn't 21 when she got here, although this doesn't appear to have been a problem as she just hands over her passport, looks innocently at the barman and gets served.

I'll upload some more interesting photos at some point as well as update about New York New York. I'll leave you with the view from the top of the Empire State Building at midnight:
