Returning from The Big Apple

Mood: Longing

Is there actually a reason for New York being called that? I'm sure there is, I just haven't looked it up.

But anyway! I've just got back from the amazing place known as New York

Went on a media college trip (even though I don't do the subject)and had such a fantastic time. Did all the touristy type things such as the Empire State Building, Little Italy, Chinatown, 5th Ave, shopping in Greenwich Village...the list goes on. I was so tired yesterday after getting an overnight flight and staying up most of the last night there...went to bed at 9 and didn't wake up til 12 today! Very unusual for me, meaning I don't really feel that tired right now.

I will be once I've gone through them putting up a few photos, the better ones

I looked it up on wiki...its a rather confusing answer as it apparently had several sources of where it came from. Originally though, it was apparently a term used in horse-racing in the 1920's.
