Hi, Baukjen here. Vanessa, Geoff and I spent nearly a week in New York. Lots of meetings, a great PR event and fun evenings with family, friends and business contacts. Everytime we are in New York we are amazed at all the entrepreneurial concepts from restaurants and bars to goods and services. New York must be one of the cities with the most entrepreneurial spirits. Everyone has some business ideas, we love it.

Another thing we love about New York is the people. Wherever we go, everyone talks to you, whether it be to help us find a location on a map, just strike up a conversation while we sit at tables next to each other, recommend a restaurant etc. It's really nice. We were happy to go back to our kids in London but sad to leave NYC.
