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

First of all: "went by taxi". I would like to say: "told you so"
Second: "Jewish"?! Please remember Borat!

jetlag is a urban legend you sissy... ;-)
try moving instat, you 'll also find out find that you 'll nearly fall asleep when you clearly shouldn't (during driving...) and can't sleep when you finally arrive in bed because you back hurts like "the nail thing" in the "supermasochist"... ;-)
but finally the moving is done, i'm happy that it's over and i'm happy that you are alright. i wish you all the best, keep us up to date...

ps: a 6m long truck is a nicer drive then your brothers car - well, infact it's even easier to park... ;-)
