News from New York City.

I know I didn`t update my blog in a while. The internet is not ideal here, Ill update later about my final adventures in Canada and my adventures in NYC.

But for now, just a short update about New York general extravaganza:

New York is treating me well. New York loves me. In fact, it loves me so much, it doesn`t want me me to leave. My flight for tomorrow hasn`t been cancelled yet, and I hope that that won`t happen, but it might. Because a hurricane is coming. Her name is Irene and she`s very excited to get to know us. Lower parts of New York City are being evacuated, Pauls mother (whom I`m staying with) has bought lots of candles and food. They told us on the radio that there is a possibility of a blackout which could last days, the subways might flood, anyway, New York is preparing for a catastrophe.

I, personally, don`t think it`s going to be that serious. But the measures that are being taken are. Tomorrow at 2pm they`re stopping all public transport. All. Public. Transport. Excuse me? Is this New York City? If you really want a baby boom nine months later, you should definitely stop public transport, with the possibility of a total black out as well. When a city as crowded as this is stuck together in the dark, with only candles to light their faces and rain pouring down outside, things are bound to happen. But anyway. Who am I to decide. And I quite like baby`s.

So yes. I just figured I should update this, `cause it`s exciting! I like storms. Not sure whether I like hurricanes though, and I hope that I won`t have to be here while it happens. Just some general information to show how safe I am: - Pauls mother lives on a hill. - My flight is leaving at 4 pm, and the hurricane is said to arrive in the evening. - Irene is not going to follow me all the way to california.

I`ll be having a seat at the window tomorrow, flying away from new york. Ill take some pictures of the dark clouds (if i can see them at all) and post them here.

Love from New York City
