As I read this, I realised I can only possibly answer if I get off my lazy butt and start going to museums again. It has been WAY too long. <br /><br />@ Cowgirl: Quite a few were free in South Africa too so I was a bit naive when I got to New York but more than willing to pay!<br /><br />@ Italo: It is a pleasure! With you I visit Italy. <br /><br />@ Ivanhoe: :) Well, not everyone can have a morbid curiosity like me and actually go looking for it!<br /><br />@ GMG: You should know that I will always head straight for the tourist traps. I do call myself the "eternal tourist" after all, not the "seasoned traveller looking for off the beaten path locations"!!!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-62258875092477256122009-08-03T21:49:52.954+01:002009-08-03T21:49:52.954+01:00I've never been here, but next time I'm in...I've never been here, but next time I'm in NYC I will check it out.

Like I said, the work that I have done so far on the UN is indeed available at my other blog under the tag "UN": <a href="http://passiontounderstand.blogspot.com/search/label/UN" rel="nofollow">link</a>. It's just a bit in depth for this blog which is more about travel than the inner workings of world organisations.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-17439305320460440412009-08-02T17:06:51.488+01:002009-08-02T17:06:51.488+01:00Very nice to have a visit into the UNO building. ...Very nice to have a visit into the UNO building.
