Back in New York City

Geschrieben von Arno am Mittwoch, 24 September 2008 um 20:47 Uhr

Hi folks, I just arrived in New York again.

Westcoast, especially San Francisco, were a real blast. The city felt a bit like Berlin and I enjoyed the company of my host Cesar, Tina and Charlotte from my school in Berlin. I rode my bike over the Golden Gate Bridge and saw a hispanic gay pride parade in Dolores Park. I did like SF so much more than LA, because it feels very european and open-minded. You dont have as many chic and snobbish neighborhoods and the public transportation is far better in comparison. Instead there are tons of burglars in the street, which gives San Francisco the name of “capital of the homeless”. Its a kind of sad thing, especially to see worn-down 65 years old hippie drop-outs, but they are just everywhere. Sometimes you cant even tell there are homeless or just crazy folks :) . One guy at the bus gave us the hint to go to the “Saloon” in little Italy and we followed his recommendation and experienced one of the oldest bars in SF playing awesome Live-Blues at 6pm.

I actually had a free flight this morning at 7:15am, sponsored by my Couchsurfing Host John from Buffalo, but I missed it. We re-sheduled it to 12:15 and so I stopped over in Las Vegas to change planes, played some slot machines at the terminal and am heading towards Long Island Airport right now. I will sleep at my friends Kieran’s place this night and arrive there at approx. 1:30am. I got 5 days in New York before I leave on 29th 5:15pm back to Germany and im really looking forward to spend these days in New York at the very end of my 7 weeks voyage. Traveling for so many weeks, you start missing your home and I think I reached that point somewhere in LA. I really wanna go back, seeing my loved girl Janett again and just feel like being where i belong to again, sleeping in my bed….. It will be lots of fun though, to hang out in New York again. But I miss Berlin, weekends of party, Germans everywhere and just the special flavor of my City in fall. Will be a huge change for sure, after spending 2 weeks at the westcoast, beaches, palm trees and lots of sun, but I will figure it out. :D

Im sorry again for not uploading new pictures, I already sorted and picked them, but it takes hours to upload them and so I never really was in the mood to do so. Maybe I gonna find an evening to do so before I come home.
