Oke, so what has happened after that first day of walking. To be honest, not a lot of exiting things (sorry Arjan). But we had a lot of fun. On monday we again had a lot of walks, mostly in shops, you do have to buy some presents for the kids of course. I can tell you one thing, some of these shops are impressive. Although I liked shopping in these big malls a lot better, New York has some nice shops. What about the Toys ‘r us, they have some very big toys in it. Like this ferris wheel.

Another funny store is the M&M store. You can buy everything with an M&M character on it. Things like underwear, plates, cups. Of course you can also buy M&M’s in all sorts of colors.

After shopping we went south, started walking through china town. Man, you really felt like being in another country. First language is chinese and not american, that’s for sure.

Next stop, Brooklyn Bridge. Again we kept walking south and ended up on Brooklyn bridge. You had a nice view on New York from the bridge.

After all this walking we became thirsty and also a bit hungry, so we walked back to Little Italy for some food and beer.

Now the holiday was over, on Tuesday we started with the training. The view through the window was nice

The training itself was very good. Actually it was even better than I expected. I had a lot of fun and got an enormous amount of motivation to start working with it. More on that in later posts

The coming week I’ll give a better view on the training itself, I will do that on the jteam blog.

In the evenings we tried to go out as much as possible as well. We went to pubs, they serve nice burgers. And did I mention they have cold beer? On thursday we had a nice walk a long side the water. We watched a nice sunset, to bad I did not bring my camera. We did drink a nice cold corona . That’s about it.

As for now, thank you New York, loved the stay but glad to be going home.

I must warn you that some of the pictures might offend some readers

The flight was oke, upon arrival I was skeptic about the apartment. Man I would have liked a 4 star hotel room. But when waking up I realized the apartment is quite oke. Due to the jetlag we were awake early for a sunday. We started walking in New York, not many people were on the streets, which gave it a pretty unique view on New York. First stop was the starbucks.

Than we kept on walking up till Central Park. Around twelve o’clock we went back to the apartment using the metro. We went to the super market to get some drinks (beer and water) and some food (crackers and chips).

We got very thirsty of all this walking, we bought beer, therefore we took a beer. We did not let the clock stop us, oke it was only 11:45, but it felt like 17:45. So we took this nice cold beer.

The weather became very nice, so we needed shorts. Back with the metro to some shops, than to the southern point of Manhatten and ground zero.

Now we are relaxing and getting ready for dinner. Hmm, the jetlag does do some strange things to my stomach.

I forgot to mention we also went to the Mac store and we tried to go to the virgin megastore, but that was closed for ever. The Mac store was very nice, makes you want to buy something. I did not do that by the way.
