I haven't updated in a little while, since leaving DC for Philly. Personally I think Philly's better than DC: it's much more compact, there's so much more stuff everywhere, and better stuff in general. I think it's just more like a big English city in its layout, possibly because it's quite old compared to most US cities. This is just my pontificating though.

As soon as we got to Philly on Saturday (which was quite a difficult process involving Greyhound buses, and before that a fast food meal with a horrible-looking burger and a 32oz Coke, which explains why Americans eat and drink too much) we got a cab down to South Philly to watch CZW, a wrestling show. It was a kind of a pilgrimage for me and my mate because it used to be the legendary ECW Arena which I'd seen so much of. I was amazed at how modest it all was - very small, almost a derelict place, and tiny inside. Good show though.

We went yesterday to the Art Museum where Rocky ran up the steps. I refused to do the pose, even though EVERYBODY ELSE was doing it so I wouldn't look out of place. Also went to Eastern State Penitentiary, really old prison that looks like a castle. Interesting.

Today we crossed over the river to Camden, NJ (crime capital of the US - woohoo!) to visit the Aquarium. Lots of fishy stuff. Nice. Also had a Philly Cheese Steak somewhere with fried onions, and it was very nice indeed.

I have no more time now, but little more has happened of note. Will probably post again in NYC, which we're going to tomorrow.
