I arrived at Newark Airport at 9 pm. My friend couldn't catch me up because he stuck in Manhattan's traffic. A fire had been broken out and the firemen blocked three streets. Unexpected incidents - that is New York I guess. So I took the train to Penn Station. I found myself directly next to Madison Square Garden when the guys picked me up. Stunning. The drive with the care from Penn Station to Brooklyn had been taking forever. Through Chinatown we went along fifth avenue, this amazing skycraper which stood brightly and quietly like a cathredale in the night, in front of us, to bowery over Williamsbourg Bridge right to Brooklyn. The streets were empty and I imagined a night cruise with the bike. But I had no camera with me.
In Brooklyn we had dinner at kellog's diner - the first american diner in my life. Hungry like a wolf I had the best Burger and Fries ever.
The first person I met in New York talked german to me. When I was outside in front of the diner for a cigarette I asked a girl for lighter. Surprised about her response "Nein" we began to chat with each other. She is from Ireland and asked me to teach her german for her grammar examinatios next friday. She offered to pay 15 dollars per hour. First night in america, first job offer! I will see what comes out of that as she was drunk and seemed to me kind of fucked up and rude.
I got out now to buy a camera. Next post will be with fotos...
Cheers,
Lars
