:D
During the week I try to be a 'real New Yorker', reading every day in the train, and work hard. I even got my library card now, so I can read even more! (And probably take the train into the wrong direction again).
In the weekends I am a tourist, there is simply too much to see! Yesterday my friend Yan (PhD student in my lab) and I went to have lunch in Chinatown. This was a big adventure - eating soup with chopsticks.. (see pictures, what a fun!). She also showed me the NYU (NY University) library, which is huge! We also went to East Village (tatoo shops) and Soho (great when you have a credit card). It was a long long day, with actually too many different things (next time I better focus on a one neighborhood! What I like about NYC are the buildings, or maybe I have to put it this way: the mixture of buildings. Often you see the tall buildings alongside the older smaller buildings and churches (you'll find them in my web albums).
Today I went to the MET (Metropolitan Museum for Art) together with Anna (we were room mates in the hostel). We spent like 5 hours wondering around in this huge huge building (we even got lost a couple of times). I think you can spend there a week without seeing everything! I made a preview for you guys (however without flash, so you still have to check it out yourself!).
I bought good boots now, so I am waiting for the next big snow!
:D
leuk!!
