New York
I’ve been to New York over the weekend. [Thanks Cristina for wonderful hospitality! You are almost a NewYorker but I'm not sure this is a compliment! ;-) ]
NY was less dirty, chaotic and dangerous than I was expecting.
In 2 days I’ve seen Chinatown, Time Square, many skyscapers, Financial district and Wall Street, took the free ferry until Staten Island to see the Statue of Liberty. Friday I’ve been to a party in a gay club until 5 am and Saturday to an Halloween party in Queens.
Saturday I almost run the NY Marathon … it was a tour de force but I enjoyed it a lot.
Some picture can be found here. As you can see I still need to practice with my new, extracheap camera.

But at my high school were two students who really stood out. They were Laotion refugees, who could barely speak english and wore Good Will clothes. Paradoxically to me, both these guys aced every subject with ease. One day on a lark I got to talking with one of them, and he told me of his journey to our country; a spellbinding and harrowing tale of hiding in the jungle from soldiers, surviving on insects and whatever else they could scavange, a year at a refugee camp, and finally making it here. It radically altered my perspective, to say the least. Here I was thinking suburbia was hell-how pathetic.
