Beware of...

... dutch people not wanting to pay for anything... :) hahaha. it was the first weekend of the month, and then certain museums are for free with our bank of america card! an advantage of having a bank account with (at?) that bank. of course i had looked up which museums were for free in New York. on saturday we went to the museum of metropolitan art, and on sunday we went to the intrepid (picture above is on that enormous boat). tim wanted to go to the latter (i wanted to go to the first), i was not that interested in all those different aircrafts... i dont know whether other visitors really looked at all those planes, if only through the lens of their camera. my goodness, so many pictures were taken there. you could hardly walk around without being in someone's pic... all in all, we saved 80 dollars of entrance fee!! quite a lot. but then we spent 50 dollars on a very bad meal in a bad restaurant on 33th street (close to the empire state building), next day we just went to mac donald's; a whole lot better...

In spite of the incident with the cab I'm jealous of your trip to NYC. I'm always enthralled with the city on the rare occasions when I visit.

but living there i think i would not like, at least not for a longer period. too crowded.. i much prefer Boston...
