Alright, after a comfortable flight from Sao Paulo – I ended up in the upper deck of the aircraft, lots of space. Don’t know how that happened – NYC welcomed me with a hot and dry summer day.That was on thursday. By now (sunday) i already cycled the city a lot with the friends here.
NYC is like a universe of and in itself. Like the planet condensed. All kinds of people are trying to survive here, which is not that easy as the rents are very high – not only in Manhattan – and if you are not a skilled and highly educated person, you need to work a lot to pay rents from 1000$ a month. Given that you earn around 10$ per hour in the service sector, I imagine that most people here work and sleep. And not much more.
the view from Brooklyn bridge towards Manhattan. Rather a classic tourist photo.
Cycling without cars doesnt necessarily mean that there is more space 😉
what everyone definitely needs, especially when you live in NYC and your neighbours have it already: a golden-silver plated telescope. An essential tool for a high cultural living here.
