That's right... when you go visit the UN building you are not allowed to bring any large bags with you, which includes a notebook computer bag, so they made me check the bag and they gave me a ticket so I could get it back later.
Did you know that the 18 acres of the UN facility is not US territory? I was surprised to learn that it is "international territory" that does not belong to any country.
On other things...
Yup! I'm in New York! Right now I'm in Bryant Park at 41st Street and 6th Ave.
Ya gotta love the Internet! I did all this from a public park using a free hot spot connection setup specifically for this park.
