AWESOME!!!

As many of you might remember that this is one of my favorite words, it is just perfect for describing the trip to New York City this weekend with my friends Cansu, Ida and Anna!
The reason for going there was another- I wanted to see my dear friend Carina from Austria, who is also an aupair in America.
So we took the chance and met at Times Square- after a journey that showed us that you never ever should rely on American public transportation, but that's another story- which was just amazing!!!

After seeing each other all the girls spent time at Times Square, "hung out", took pictures, went to the humangous store of Forever 21 and ate at TGI Friday's ( you don't want to know how much I paid for chicken pasta ;) )...
I have been to Times Square before, but it was good just to see it again- I think it looks nicer in the evening, and as I love lights this always impresses me!
It also showed me that I am a city girl- I was thrilled by all those buses, cars and people driving and running around..- although there could have been less people- but well, I know, then you shouldn't go to New York if you want to avoid bumping into people ;)

Driving in a cab

Tja..muss jez auf Deutsch und im Dialekt schreim..danach hamma nämli nu a bissl des Amerikanische Nachtlebn kennengelernt..war ganz amüsant, und lang, muss i sagn ;) für mehr Infos und Fotos bitte einfach mi kontaktieren ;)

When we were going by the Cab, we got to know the courtesy of cabdrivers- he thought we told him a wrong adress, yelled at as that we had to leave his car immediately, "you bitches!"..well, no tip for him.. ;)

Der Tag danach

On Sunday we took it slowly... went to Central Park where we finally ate what we bought at Starbucks. You think that there must be a Starbucks at every corner in New York- not when you are told the wrong way!! So we were looking for one almost for an hour.. then we went to Central Park, ate some lunch, and lay in a meadow..we were so exhausted! But we saw the good part of it and just enjoyed the amazingly nice weather- it was not too cold, not too warm, the sun was shining, and we had a good view!

After these two amazing days I had to say goodbye to my friend Carina- we assessed that it had been such a nice thing to see a "known" face again- felt a little like home- although it was funny that we met each other in America..we really enjoyed just talking about stuff the other one also knew about.. :)

Now I can really say that I can manage finding my way in another city- sure, I had some help from my friend and people I didn' know, who told me where to go, but I managed a lot of things on my own.. my sense of orientation is getting better- YAY! ;)

All the four of us slept when we were going home by bus- it was hilarious to see HOW pooped we were!
As we had some time, we ate dinner at the 30th Street Station in Philly, and then headed back home...we all felt for junkfood and unhealthy stuff..--- soooo, we got some!

Here's the proof

When I got home I gave my feet a little massage, they needed it!

Nie wieder hoche Schuach und danach Herumstreunern in New York,
sodala, des wors! ;)

Take care,
Ida
