Goodbye New York


After waking up yesterday morning somewhat hangovered I went to Union Square to buy a pair of sneaker. Being bored and exhausted from shopping I decided to chill out outside for a while having a game with one of these chess playing guys. There are many of them and they play at Union Square everyday for a donation of three bucks. It was fun although I lost.





In the late afternoon I arrived "home". The building where Ed lives has a great neighborhood, friendly and closley connected. Next door works a German photograph from Munich who lives with this wife and two kids here. When you walk along the hall you see many open doors where people practicing music, doing art or business. Children play under supervision of their parents in the hall or residents hang around smoking a cigarette. It is a really lovely atmosphere. So I met Chris and Caroline yesterday in the hall. We smoked a cigarette, forget the time chatting and hung out at the roof later on. I am a little bit sad to leave that place. It is really cool and just beautiful...




In the late evening I met Alex and we went out with a friend of him in a bar in Williamsbourg. The photo below express my shock treatment. We were dancing  when I suddenly perceived the shrill voice of Nena singing 99  ballons. Everyone around freaked out while I was completely overchallenged with a song where I usually would leave the dancefloor. I did and repeated the treatment two more times haha...The evening with Alex, Nick and Collin was great. We were holding the sides laughing almost the whole time.



Now I am heading to UConn. Goodbye New York. See you again in autaumn!

  2. Haha, I was at bad risk to get completely addicted. I bought cigarettes one day in New York and smoked the whole package within a half day. Afterwards I decided I shouldn't possess cigarettes anymore...
    I miss you too, thinking often about you. Listening at this moment to Cocoon - Owls :)
