    I came to a crossroad, one very important one. And I’ve decided that as much as it sucks taking important descisions, especially ones that are "rational", they make life way easier once they are made. Hopfully I chose the road less blurry and straight forward. Summer is now looking like smooth sailing, which might be just what I need

    So I got to experience New York for the first time. With great success I might add. Ever felt like you were in a movie? That’s how it felt being in New York. Even though I like to think of myself as an urban city girl, I realise I am not. All these tall buildings, all the people and all the traffic! I gather now that I really do come from a small village. The city becomes immense!

The apple thing I didn’t quite get. What’s with the apple? Is it beacuse it is supposed to be the core of the world?

The melting-pot thing I understood though. And I loved it! It’s like a miniature version of the whole world, people placed in a monter made of tall buildings and sprinkled with capitalisms up- and downsides. I decided New York is a fun and challenging place to be. Allthough I imagine it being more fun for the rich than the poor. And perhaps more challenging for the poor than for the rich? Yes, that sounds like an average cut-out of the world. It had the good and the bad all at one place. The joint communities of different cultures, I am glad to see it is possible. The extreemes of materialism that comes with it, I am not sure I like it that much.  

No matter what one thinks of the city though, I understand the obsessions over it. It really must be one of a kind. And I glad I got to experience it!
