In New York!!!

hello everyone!!!!

i've arrived yesterday in New York!!! at last!

well actually i arrived quite early but it didn't show as we then had to queue for 2 hrs for the customs. So annoying.

i found it difficult then to find my way to manhattan as the only train I found was going to jamaica station... how on earth am I supposed to know where the hell is Jamaica Station?

anyway, I found a bus which took me to grand central station, yes THE grand central station from the films!!!! lol. and before the bus got in the bridge (because we didn't drive ON the bridge, but in a tunnel IN the bridge) I could see the empire state building!!!

i then took a cab to my hostel, which is alright, yet quite crap, so I'm gonna try to find something else today. and i need to try to find a job also! and i wanna find a sim card so that i can receive texts and calls!

i went to eat something at a place called "ray's pizza" yesterday, but they put too much fat and cheese in my bagel for me! 4 slices of cheese, i'm not kidding! but the name made me think of my former manager in metro restaurant!

i then went to a gay bar in the neighborhood.  i talked to that guy who was really sweet and after 3 vodka and coke (each double at $3!!!), i went to bed. but in gay bars you find free gay magazines and i have a map of manhattan with all the gay bars here! lol.

i came in starbucks to check my emails and to write this, but as silly i am, i forgot my adapter and i cannot plug in my computer and i have to be quick because i have only 4 min remaining on my battery!

funny story: i asked for a large skinny latte, but apparently there's a whole variety of skinny lattes, so the guy told me to order a large non fat skinny latte next time! lol

i'm now going to go back to the hostel, to leave my laptop, then i'm gonna go see that place in chelsea (the new yorker soho!) with room advertised as "$130 weekely." i need to find out if it's $130 a night, but pay weekly, or $130 a week and it's crap, but i might still have a look at the room!

and i need a sim card!

do not hesitate to comment!

love you guys!
