NY
A journey has begun- one of many, still like many other steps but with different smell, taste and views. The setting is America, the superpower, the country of opportunities and the culture which I have the most prejudices towards.
I have been excited about this trip for a long time, but have decided to have as little planed as possible so that I can get as many surprises as possible :) love when something unexpected happens and it takes you out of the box..
The first week took place in NY city, where we stayed at Zach wonderful place with a perfect view over Central Park and many many many tasteful bites of all kinds of food.
Beside being impressed by the tall buildings, busy yet very pleasant lifestyle ( pleasant for those who can afford it...) there are a few things that are worth mentioning :
The Yankee baseball game ... Baseball is a lot like "rund bold" just for adults+ hot dogs+ light beers+ breaks for advertisement and so much more boring!!
This is really not a game you wanna enjoy if you are into speed and nerve wracking moments.. but I like the part of both team being in the game all time and it seemed like most of the enjoyment of watching it is being surround your friends and family while eating. The drink and snack sellers when on and on screaming "HOT DOG" "ICE CREAM" the whole game and the people kept on buying eating buying eating ... which is not a bad thing at all ;) but it was still a long 4 hours game and the Texas Ranger won :(
A Danish / Icelandic artist has created public art for NY, 3 waterfalls that are set under and around the Brooklyn bridge so we went on a boat trip to see it!... I have to admit that I was not impressed when we were there, but I have thought about it a couple of times since, which in it self is a great accomplishment for a artist to make his/hers audience do. And to be frank I like the timeless drops of the most important resource on earth taking place in a big city like NY... when it is a waterfall .. but not if it was the New Yorker not turning of the water when brushing their teeth ;)
NY is overall an incredible city which you probably would have to live in to be able to understand its culture better... we were only there for 7 days and we only saw it through the eyes of a guest who were visiting common tourist places... we did though hang out with our New Yorker friends all the time and they explained us about their views on NY and took us to taste their favorites food hahah but sure if that made us more confused about what NY is :)

I thought that baseball might be boring, but now I am sure :)
Thanks ;)
The waterfall under the bridge looks amazing! Awesome! Like a hundred billion hot dogs! It seems that you are not impressed very easily :P
