The visit to United Nations has somehow slipped from my mind. It so happens that a visitor from Malaysia is down here on a mission for the 9/11 event and my sister is to meet her at the Post Office of United Nations.
Steel myself for a day of walking with oats and multivitamins, off I go taking NY subway to Grand Central Terminal. United Nations is not very far from Grand Central Terminal, however, due to excessive use of feet yesterday, my tempo of walking has become trudging.
UN is in the distant view
BTW, the building of Consulate General of Malaysia is on the left hand side
