Last weekend Kory and I went to Yale (in Connecticut) by train to visit our friend Jen and check out the campus. Jen was visiting some friends of hers from school and invited us up for the night. We went to a Yale basketball game and went out to a few local bars. The town actually had a lot going on - just like any college town. The next day we toured the campus a bit and checked out some of the major buildings. The architecture and history of the campus is really interesting. It looked just like it does in the movies - the way you imagine college to be when you are a kid. We only stayed for a day but it was a nice break from the city. Earlier this week we walked ... read more

Highlights: *MoMA *The Trump Tower *Sex & the City tour Igaar kom endelig ned og saa MoMA. Det var jo ligesom primaert derfor jeg kom her. det er godt nok bare et super flot museum og havde en rigtig god guide til at vise alle 'highlights' frem og fortaelle om dem. Der var ogsaa en ekstra-udstilling med 'PIXAR" - manglede SAA meget Stefan og mine broedre!! Det var helt fantastisk med alle de originale skitser og ler-modeller. Havde desvaerre ikke helt nok tid paa MoMA fordi jeg havde booket en tur senere, men naaede da lige at koebe en kaempe plakat (Andy Warhol - Marilyn Monroe) som det saa senere idag viste sig er for stor til at sende hjem, saa er noedt til at rejse med den...nedtur!

February in the Suburbs

Tommy No Papers

Well, now this is where things get interesting. On Thursday afternoon I fly to Boston to take part in a job fair that has the power to dictate what my life will be like for at least the next two years, as well shape my future indefinitely. It is a strange and kind of daunting event. Actually it has been made someone less daunting by the fact that one school has gone out of their way to pursue me for a position. They have even gone so far has to set up an interview with me Thursday night before the fair even begins. They have told me that barring any unforeseen circumstances I am their top choice. This has allowed me to sort of daydream what my life would be like there next year. It is ... read more

Lagree baptist church

lille prinsesse

Highlights: *Harlem Walking Tour (Apollo) *Lagree Baptist Church *Dive inn Bar Sov over mig men naaede heldigvis lige op til den tour jeg havde planlagt - en "Harlem walking tour" sammen med Gareth og Adrian. Det var ret koldt i vejret men en sjov maade at se en del af NY som jeg nok ellers ikke ville faa set. Saa rigtig mange spaendende steder og fik en masse historie (om jazz, poeter og historien) men det ultimative hoejdepunkt var helt klart 'Lagree Baptist Church' hvor vi hoerte gospel. Det var noget af det vildeste jeg laenge har oplevet. Vi var de eneste "hvide" der (naesten i Harlem) og damerne der havde rigtig fundet soendagstoejet fram, de sindsygste hatte, smykker m.m. Da 'the peacher' skulle laese op fra biblen fik vi ikke bare lov at se paa, ... read more

Chokoladekage;)

lille prinsesse

Tja...troede egentlig at det saa var den dag men det skulle vise sig at den var langt fra slut. Jeg sad paa vaerelset og "legede" med alle mine indkoeb. Lotte havde en aftale med en dame fra SanFransisco-Shirly og spurgte om jeg ville med. Tog chancen og foer vi vidste af det var der ogsaa en fyr fra skotland-Gareth og en fra Australien-Adrian som sluttede sig til selskabet. Vi tog op til Times Square og fandt en rigtig hyggelig irsk restaurant hvor vi fik den vildeste og bedste chokoladekage jeg nogensinde har smagt!!! Vi raahyggede bare og jeg fik rigtig traenet mit engelske. Bagefter koebte vi nogle spillekort og jetoner, tog tilbage til hostlet og saa stod den ellers paa poker - og jeg var selvfoelgelig toal vild;) Det var virkelig en fantasisk aften i rigtig ... read more

JB i E.S.B.

lille prinsesse

Highligts: *Macys *Forever 21 *Empire state Building *DR.JAYS *Subway (spisested) Pyha mine ben er ved at vaere godt brugte! Jeg stod rimlig sent op og startede dagen med at faa oploaded nogle billeder. Det regnede lidt idag saa orkede ikke det helt store. Det eneste jeg havde planlagt var at se 'Empire State Building' - men p.g.a. vejret kunne man desvaerre ikke se saerlig langt saa det var ikke helt optimalt. Ellers saa skal jeg lige love for at mit laenge forsoemte shopping-gen blev tilgodeset idag. Tog foerst i 'Macys' (minder lidt om Magasin - bare MEGET stoerre). Her fik jeg brugt en del penge paa kosmetik fra 'MAC' (taenkte paa Theresa:). Ellers var jeg ikke synderlig begejstret for stedet, det skulle maaske da lige vaere den kaempe afdeling de har med de vildelste festkjoler - ... read more

Terry Vicinthestates

Hello All, Me and Vic have just finished our first week in the big apple! it was great fun, didnt quite realise that the hostel we were staying in was within the gay area of new york, got woken up in the middle of the night with a man knocking on our window asking "homosexuals, are there any homosexuals in there?" needless to say I have made a new friend and have a new experience under my belt (dont panic mum thats a joke!). Saw all the usual sights and did all the usual tourist stuff, went and saw Coney Island (fans of the warriors will know what i'm on about) Tried to go watch the nicks and the rangers but couldn't get tickets, got into a free film screening, and encountered some typical new york ... read more

Helena

Today Jenny and I are leaving for Costa Rica! Both of us look forward to this trip very much! I spent the last couple of days in New York, a city I like more and more. You can check out some of my pics here. I've been around in Manhattan - mostly Chelsea, Village and Soho. Also visited the Guggenheim museum but I was a bit disappointed, however the Musem of Modern Art deserves another visit! Enjoy and until next time, Helena... read more
