My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

HmmWTC site - One side has a series of massive tributes and quotes and fact-boards. I had prepared for a very, very pro-american, saccharine-sweet series of tributes and instead found many of them genuinely humble and touching, so I felt like a dick for my assumptions and it made a big impression on me.
from the other 4 sides it's just a big building site.
Empire state: Go a few blocks uptown and go up the Rockerfeller Centre. Same height, no queue (literally, I walked straight to the front of the line at a time of day when the ES line is about 2.5 hours).
You can even stand on the top and use binoculars to look at the annoyed, tired people on the top of the Empire State :D
Plus, instead of fences they have huge walls of plexiglass that are kept scrupulously clean, so if you are nervous of heights (like I am) it's a terrifying joy.
