WORLD TRADE CENTRE - NYC

We wanted to see where the World Trade Centre used to be. So our mission was to head that way. Jumping off the subway we find ourselves completely lost in the neck of the city searching for street signs that aren't there. Out comes the famous map of NYC as we spot the two Asian chicks following us from behind.

We start heading in a direction that we are not sure of when we decide its the wrong direction. We do a loop to notice the Asian chicks following us as well. A few minutes later we realise that the previous wrong direction was the correct direction.

After much fussing around we find ourselves in front of a huge fence staring at the gap where the Twin Towers used to stand.

This was the worst feeling in the world, to be standing in a spot that thousands of people died for no reason. It was a day after Sept the 11th that we were standing here reading up on the tragic event.

Alot of flowers were piled up on the fences for the loved ones. It was alot to take in at first. You would look around to see people wandering around staring into thin air admiring the empty gap. Who knows how many people have been suffering over this period over lost ones. Standing there staring at the gap just brings out all this emotion in you. You want to cry because it's the ones left behind who suffer the most.

One thing that annoyed the hell out of me were the inconsiderate people who were selling various pictures and books about the Sept 11th attack. Don't theses people understand that there is more to life than money? I understand that they are trying to make a living but to use a tragic event like this to make money is just wrong.

After a while we decided to walk off completely in silence trying to process the whole atmosphere in. Along the way we ended up at a department store called Century 21. I think by this time I really needed a toilet and obviously a department store would have one.

While in the department store we thought we should check out the DVD department as I was dying to buy Will and Grace DVD's that hadnt been released in Sydney.

We stroll in and I ask a woman where their DVD department is and she informs us that its around the corner. We find the DVD department and we are both disgusted with what we see. A bunch of blank CDs and DVD's piled up on the shelf. What kind of a DVD department is this?

We leave the store in disgust.
