We are finally in New York City after more than 24 hours in the air (ok lah, we spent four hours of that in the ANA lounge in Haneda). It took us almost two hours to clear immigration at JFK. As Rachel in Crazy Rich Asians puts it, Changi Airport "has a movie theatre and a butterfly garden! All JFK has is Salmonella and despair."

Another hour or so in a cab driven by a driver who told us stories about his home country, Turkey (he has been in the US for twenty years), we got to our hotel in Times Square. And our first order of business? Get food.

Outside of Italy, NYC is one of the best places for some good old Italian pizza, I think. So this is us, having some Joe’s Pizza for lunch. Or supper, if you are in Singapore’s timezone.

By mid-afternoon, we were fading. Jet lag is a pain for us older folk. I was going to suggest going back to nap but the wife dragged me into a pharmacy (what is up with women and American pharmacies?) and an H&M.

Tomorrow, #gameofthrones gala! Can’t wait.
