Arrival

Hi follower,

Thursday I arrived in NYC! The flight went smooth, and there where no problems at the border, I guess they liked me :) With a yellow cab (that one famous in all movies!), I was brought to my hostel :). That was really a spectacular ride, with all the cars, lights, chaos, and the honking...
The hostel was at the Upper West Side, and I love Central Park, it is so quite and beautiful, especially with all the snow now! I am curious how it will be in spring, summer..
On Friday I had to arrange a lot of things for my internship - toxicology screening, health information protection, fire safety... Bit boring, but well, had to be done.
Saturday morning I moved to my place in Brooklyn. I have such a nice room, with a great view on Manhattan. Loads of sunshine and light as well in my room!
Today I explored the subway (constructions, so you have to be inventive sometimes), Brooklyn Bridge (which has great views, but was freezing cold with the wind), and downtown Manhattan (including my first picture of the Statue of Liberty).
Tonight I went with my 'landlord' Pascale to a local bar to have a winter wine tasting menu. That was really nice, good food, nice people, and a lot excellent wines!
So far I really like it here! People are friendly, helpful, and very enthusiastic! Yes, I like it here :) This will be a great experience!

PS2: I write this blog in English, so my English and Hungarian friends can also follow my stories. Furthermore, it is a nice way to see my English improve (maybe?).
PS3: I don't like reading long blog stories, so I won't write long stories. However, I will try to keep you updated regularly (and thus no long stories needed..).
