On my first day in NYC, I was sure that I would stay longer than I had plann. I was definetelly in love with the city. My original plan of staying for 8 weeks and bone up my english was definetelly changed. Since that, almost two years now, I find ordinary things to be extraordinary in the streets of the big apple.
In the middle of the day, people go rest or eat in the various parks... They dance, make out and play as if ,at least that half hour, it was sunday. Some days you barely hear english. There are interesting people from all over the world speaking the most diverse idioms. The funny thing is that it doesn't really sound foreign. It seems that people can understand each other in NYC, even though they come from different sides of the planet.
Here, you never get bored. There is always some much going on, that even if you don't look for, you find something new to do. In fact, the best way to find cool things and cool people around the city, is not to be looking for at all. Cool thinks like line up for at least one hour on friday afternoons to get free tickets to MOMA. Cool people like the nice waitress and waiters all over.
In NYC the price to be conneted to the rest of the world is just a coffee, even though the price of the coffe is a whole meal in most other places... but it's definetelly worthed. It's definitely worthed go uptown and hang out on Central Park. Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring - the whole year there is beauty to be comtemplated and joined.
That is because the beauty of NY is not made by the extraordinary Empire State or the Brooklyn Bridge or my favorite place -the washington Park. NY's beauty is made by a lot of ordinary things. Ordinary things like the cute poems on the walls of the restrooms, the bands on the subway or to get a free popcorn bag on Times Square just because you were luck.
Who ever lives here is very luck. But even if you don't live here, you will also be luck enough to see how ordinary things are extraordinary here.
