Living in this house has really treated me well I must say. The people here are great and they've been taking me to all kinds of different parties. Having champagne on Mondays because come got his certification and Tuesdays because of the bi-weekly French party and marketing updates from Iris.
Starting to get comfortable at work. I've been getting more responsibility and projects (3 now) which I need to prioritize and manage.
And last weekend I met some more people myself to hang out with. One of them being a girl that has lived in NL for 4 years. One of my neighbors I met by crashing their party at 4 am on Saturday night.
People are starting to plan to come and visit me. And I love the thought of that. Also, I like the impression that by now I'm starting to know stuff to show them once they're here.
Going to Las Vegas in August with my PokerChamp bro, he'll be here for a week first. Then Marko, JJ and Joel in October, that should be good. And then there's Marija and James around newyears if I understood correctly. Adriaan and Albert, I hope you guys can find a weekend in the meanwhile if you wanna stay for a couple of days.
Anybody else interested in coming here, feel free to let me know your plans. I'm here and I will be, and your welcome to visit. Haven't got a lot a space to share, but what I got you're welcome to enjoy. Anyway, take care. Still love y'all. You know who I mean Simone, Roland.

Explosion in the city
One of my housemates wasn't allowed in the 6 train I had used only 20 minutes before. Not knowing what had happened she did arrive here in panic, thinking there might have been a terrorist attack. A steam pipe exploded today at 6.www.nytimes.com/2007/07/19/nyregion/19explode.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
My office building, located at 299 park (49 st) apparently has no power now. I'll need to get in touch with my boss in the morning to determine what to do. I'll keep you guys posted.

And after 3 days
This picture is taken three days after the other one.When you do manage to keep your bike though, one block east from where I live, there's bicycle polo to play. And don't let the impression fool you; there's about 40 poeple watching and 20 people waiting to go on the field.
Tonight I'll be in Bryant park: http://www.bryantpark.org/calendar/thisweek.php to see the movie. Tomorrow's a party in Central park I guess...
A regular Sunday
As you guys know I have a house. And this would be a good time for me to tell you a tiny little something about it. I’m living in New York, on Manhattan, in Chinatown.
Actually, I have been known to refer to my house as a drawer. And that is not too far off. My space is 7,5 by 10,5 foot. About 80 sq foot which would translate to almost 7,5 sq meter. The smallest place I’ve every lived in for the largest amount of money. 1200$, but I got a 100$ discount.
The reason I decided to go live there anyway is the people. There’s 8 rooms in the house and since this weekend we’ve got 10 people living there. 5 French (of which one I haven’t met and including 1 guest), 4 American and me. 5 girls and 5 guys. Come (FR), Thibault (FR on holiday), Iris (FR) and Camille (FR visiting), Guillaume (FR), Anna (US) and Jane (US), Wouter, Dave (US) and Carrie (US).
Now the great thing about this is that there are always people about the house. Either just to relax and listen to some music or to eat something or hag out in a bar. And this is where I wanted to go. Have some people around to spend some time with. People to know where to go.
Yesterday, I got breakfast at the Italian deli, 2 blocks downs from me. French bread, Italian cheese, Italian Parma and some salami. We ate it with 5 of us, the American girl moved in, I went to the beach with the 2 French girls, hung around at a Brooklyn bridge restaurant. Then went back to find out that the American girl decided to have someone else living in her room as well. Spent the evening watching the sequel to the one we saw last week. A French movie, I forgot the name and then went to bed. Great stuff, I had a good day.
Nothing extraordinary though, days like that happen all the time.

So many impressions
Spoke to a few of my family over the weekend. And ofcourse the guys at home that went to dance valley. Great to hear you had a good time guys!
But as I was saying, spoke to my family and they seemed to feel my blog is hard to read in a way. Difficult to find the actual meaning of what I'm trying to say.
See, here's the thing. After having been to NY for over 7 weeks (the actual amount I'm not sure), I find new and exciting stuff hapening to me every day still. Although I've now been here for a while, I feel like it's only been a couple of weeks. That might well be because I've only got my house for a few weeks now. Or because of the fact that still every day, I have new experences. See new stuff, new places, shops and meet people. Whatever the reason is, up to now, it made it kind of hard to just sit down and write up all ithis stuff.
So I guess, still very much getting used to the place. Now don't get me wrong, I do love the experience so far. It's been great. Just capturing several new experiences and impressions that I have every day in a blog like this is pretty hard. I'll give it a go anyway. I'll get it. Eventually.
And yes, I'll post some more pictures soon... :P
