Secret Society


Yesterday we said, hey, let's go get to Williamsburg. The hip, young, artsy community of New York. We looked it up on the map and went there by subway. Yes, that easy. No, it wasn't that easy. Finally there, we walked around, getting lost in the city, as we always do, and instead of seeing anything artsy, the only thing we found was the very, VERY big orthodox part of the city. That means jewish people everywhere, all dressed up in their tradiontal clothing. Strange thing is, they totally remind me of arabians. Like women have to wear Kopftuecher, everybody is only reading in their bible and for example we saw a church, there was an entry where it was strictly forbidden for women to go inside. So that was what we saw the whole day. I mean in Austria I said, hey I wanna see jewish people, but hey, not that much. Afterwards we found out, that we've been to Williamsburg but we just went in the wrong direction, and our hosts said, that they feel awkward too in that area, though they are jews.


So after all we decided just to stop by at the Atlantic Station grab something to eat and shop around at the local shopping streets. And there it happened, we realized we are the only white people in the whole area, you have see it like that, you look down in every direction as far as you can see, only black people. After that we though, wait the last two days we have not seen any white people at all, so where might they be. There's probably a secret society called The White, only meeting up at night.


After that we went to that lovely park between the two brigdes again. It quite and nice as always. There finally, the secret society of The White, came crawling out of their holes. We're lucky, because they had a free movie show in the evening. We saw one of my new favorite movies, the princess bride.

Guys, check it out! Again, this park was the best place to be.

Jetlag

So finally I found time to write something.
First of all I have to say, jetlag is a bitch (if you want to sleep, you can't sleep. if you don't want to sleep, you sleep) after 20 hours of traveling (sitting and waiting), we finally arrived at the JFK airport in New York. We actually had nice flights, because of the online-check-in stuff we could reserve our seats 24-hours before departure. So we had lots of free room for our feet. Fun thing was, for one guy left to us the overlight from his seat didn't work, so he got transferred to the 1st class (sucker). But ok, from JFK we went by taxi to our couchsurfing family. For everybody who thought we get locked up in the cellar and get grilled and eaten up, your wrong. They are a really nice jewish family.
We got kind of an apartment just for our own.

So, yesterday we explored brooklyn, and just by accident we found the wonderful Empire Fulton Ferry Park. That's really a nice park, besides that it is directly under the Manhatten Bridge. (not like on the picture below, that bridge is the Brooklyn bridge)Just nearby, there is an awesome bookstore called Power House Books, and in there I found a great book called The Super Masochist. Do you remember the drawing of a penis with a nail through it... yeah, that guy actually did it, and that's not all, photographed and published it.

As you see we're having a hell of a time.

See you, David

NYC.

we are fine! it's very hot here, and we are very exhausted from exploring brooklyn. i'll get back to you later, after i took a nap.
