Friday: Dinner with many other Norwegians at
Sjømannskirken in San Francisco. We had homemade lasagna for dinner and icecream
with strawberries for dessert! YUM! To my big dissapointment I've discovered
that I am allergic to strawberries, but I could not resist to eat a few... It
was yummy :) After dinner we got together and talked and had a quiz. Around 10
p.m we took a cab to downtown SF and went to a huge club called Ruby Sky. It was
very expensive and fancy. We even had champagne and whatnot. Haha. Not my
favorite kind of place, but it was lots of fun.
Saturday: Me and Stian biked down to the
Berkeley Marina to enjoy the sun for a few hours. It was incredibly hot so we
managed to stay for a whole hour. Haha. Could not take the heat any longer! But
it was a nice trip and we got to see some interesting things along the way.. At
night Stian went to some friends to play poker while I joined Ida and Julie for
a little vorspiel at their place :) We ended (of course) up in San Francisco
again and had a blast at Le Colonial. Did anyone say VIP-list?!
Sunday: Not feeling so great. Took a shower,
just relaxed on the couch and went to yoga in the evening. Had dinner with Stian
and watched a movie.

Incubus - Just A Phase
DEDIKERT TIL HANNE SIRI
♥
I am bottled, fizzy water, and you are shaking me up
You are a fingernail, running down the chalkboard
I thought I left in third grade
Now my only, consolation, is that this could not last forever
Even though you're singing and thinking
How well you've got it made
Who are you?
When will you be through?
Yeah, it's just a phase... It will be over soon
Yeah, it's just a phase
Yeah, it's just a phase
Call it 'women's intuition', but I think I'm on to something here
Temporaryism has been the black plague
And the Jesus of our age
I know that I sound opinionated, maybe biased
And quite possibly jaded.
But sooner than later
They'll be throwing quarters at you on stage
Who are you?
When will you be through?
Yeah, it's just a phase... It will be over soon.
Yeah, it's just a phase, and I'm waiting for it to be over too.

Nov 10
What a lovely week it's been! I am happy happy happy.
So last friday I handed in my last (and hardest) paper for school in the class
'samfunnsvitenskapelig forskningsmetode'. And YEAH, the class is as boring as it
sounds. Don't even doubt it. Ok? OK, good.
After that was done, I cleaned my room, some of the apartment, did laundry and
went groceryshopping. I had a blast! I visited Christina and Charlotte in
the evening. We watched Idol and then Supernatural. Eline came as well! :) We
made smooties. Yummie!
Waking up saturday morning was probably the best feeling I've had all semester.
I got up at around 10 and went to Ikea for some fun shopping with Hanne Siri :)
Haha. We had fun. And we were both very "vingle-petter". But hey, they have a
lot of nice (read: cheap) stuff! We grabbed some well deserved pizza after all
the shopping and went home by bus. It was RAINING. Later that night Jo and Hanne
Siri joined me and Stian :) We made dinner, had some wine, beer and more wine
and just had a terrific evening.
Monday I decided not to do anything school related, because I was FED up. So
after waking up late, me and Stian went shopping. We both bought stuff. I found
this cute dress and also bought some unnecessarily stuff as a shirt and earrings.
God, I've missed the city. Assignments kill your social ability, let me tell
you. So tuesday.. Guess what I did? Haha. I went more shopping :D Well, I went
to uni first and then headed downtown. Met Elizabeth and little Signe for lunch
at Jordbærpikene and when they had to leave I started my shopping adventure :D
So much fancy stuff around these days. Anyways, tuesday was Erlends birthday so
when they came back from babyswimming in the evening me and Stian joined them.
We bought real junk food (Mickey D's take-away, haha) and went home for a feast.
I felt so American then. Hooray! Then we had cake, coffee and opened presents
(Erlend did). Then we played amazing boardgames and watched Grey's Anatomy.
The rest of the week has been good as well. I tried to do an effort to get
schoolstuff done. I did pretty good. Friday night I went back to Christina and
Charlotte (Kristin, Tor and Kirsti was also there). We watched Idol,
Supernatural <3 and Heroes. Haha. Seriesgeeks, eh? :) Sat morning Stian woke me
up when he came by to pick up something. I spent the afternoon with Elizabeth
and Signe. We had lunch, played on the floor and made waffles :) Yummy! Later
me, Stian, Jo and HS went to Samfundet on a samfundsmøte. It was very
interesting. I really liked it! The girls were out for the night so we (Stian
and me) decided to just stay home and relax. We made biff (steak?) and yummy
potatoes and watched a movie.
So today is Sunday... I wonder what this week is going to be like. I'll keep
ya'll posted.

It's 8 o'clock. I'm still at university. Trying
to work on my assignment. But I think I'm done for today. I can't concentrate.
And my boyfriend is somewhere playing poker.
It snowed today! Then it rained. Then it snowed again! But then it rained away..
It's only the 11th of October. What the hell?
I tried to find some scientific articles for my
assignment. Didn't find any - so I googled it. Haha. Googling your uni
assignment is not something you're supposed to do.. But I did anyway :D I
googled John Goldthorpe and his social mobility theory. I came across a picture
of the Sfinx.
I have no idea whatsoever - what the connection
between the two is.

1. My bruised arm after taking blodtests. Sprøytenarkoman!
2. Quite a lovely and fun party I attended with my boyfriend.
Who is even more lovely, by the way.
3. Reminisicin'. Looking back at Croatia-pics.
My one day of perfect (natural) curls everr.
4. Reminiscin' again. The Tool concert of course!
It almost got us both killed, but it was the BEST

I am going to do some changes on this site once

Jeg liker ikke å skrive blogger. Jeg får det
liksom ikke til.
Dessuten har jeg aldri tid.
Idag har jeg irritert meg over dårlige blogger. Jeg har skrivekløe.
Ting som irriterer meg grenseløst.
Jeg irriterer meg grenseløst over kortleseren fra Sparebank1.
Den blå jævla dingsen fungerer aldri når jeg trenger den.
Jeg irriterer meg over min lillebror som bare må spille System of A Down
uanstendig høyt,
mens jeg prøver å gjøre et innstendig og desperat forsøk på å finne roen med
Frédéric Chopin.
Folk som tror de skriver kule blogger er
irriterende.
Dama som gav meg tilbake 100 kroner for lite da jeg var på apoteket
i Trondheim.
Jeg irriterer meg også ganske grenseløst over
all denne add-ons-faenskapen som Facebook innfører.
Har de gått inn for å bli som Myspace eller?
Jeg irriterer meg over at jeg ikke finner Dúnés
nye album på internett.
Jeg vil, vil, vil ha det nå!
Jeg irriterer meg grenseløst over at det kún er
7 grader ute idag.
Jeg irriterer meg grenseløst og vél så det over
uærlige telefonselgere som kommer med diverse usannheter for å få deg innmeldt i
alle mulige foreninger. Foreningen for krybbedød, foreningen for hjerte og
lungesyke, foreningen for lesbiske, foreningen for blinde, foreningen for oss
over 60.
Ikke er jeg gravid, hjertet og lunger fungerer flott, jeg har en kjæreste av
type hankjønn, synet er ikke godt, men jeg er da ikke riktig blind enda -
dessuten lengter jeg fortsatt etter å bli 20.
Mest av alt er jeg egentlig ganske blakk. Ikke ring meg. Værsåsnill.
Jeg irriterer meg over at jeg ikke dro på Roskilde-festivalen i fjor. Tool var
der. Hva tenkte jeg?
Jeg irriterer meg grenseløst over at jeg ikke husker hvem
som
hadde
den
fengende, men litt merkelige
sangen
som
var
på
radioen
i
morges.
Jeg irriterer
meg
grenseløst
over
Lindsay
Lohan,
Paris
Hilton,
Britney
Spears,
Nicole Ritchie, Tara
Reid,
Nicky
Hilton,
Jessica
Simpson
and
resten
av
drama-dronningene.
Jeg ORKER ikke flere artikler om dere i VG, Dagbladet, Woman and whatnot.
Seriøst.
Jeg irriterer meg over at jeg gidder å tenke
over hva som irriterer meg for deretter å skrive ned alle de irriterende tingene
som irriterer og har irritert meg i lengre tid.
Jeg irriterer meg grenseløst over at jeg ikke
har råd til å kjøpe meg speilreflekskamera. Grenseløst.
Jeg tror egentlig jeg bare enkelt og greit er
litt irritert idag?

"It's raining so hard outside it feels like the windows are about to break.
Pitch black. Can't even see the ocean.. It's 2 am and I'm on my second cup of
vanilla tea. I love being alone. Silence. Just me and the sound of the rain on
my window. I love rain. It's always coming down cool and fresh. I'll tuck myself
in a blanket and stay inside all day with a good excuse. Another good thing
about rain is that it's infinite. It will never stop. It'll always be coming
down, with the same purpose and slam into the bottom. Forever."
Found this among my much previous my blog entries on deviantart. Just thought it
was wierd to read in this moment. It's more than a year ago, but I still
remember the feeling. The feeling of loneliness and despair. The feeling of not knowing.
I was listening to Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire as I read it. Had to smile. I
thought the loneliness would be perpetual.
But it wasn't. I feel free. It's funny how things change.
Life has never been better.

So by:larm was pretty crazy.
Thursday evening me, Magne and
Jon Martin sat around at my place playing Settlers (which I lost..) when Malin
all of a sudden called and told me she got me a free pass to the whole thing. I
didn't believe it at first, but when I got my wristband and crew-pass it was
pretty much confirmed.
Not only did we save like 700 kr, but we had the goddamn crew-pass, which let us
in everywhere. Haha.
Malin, du e gal!
Anyway.. We saw quite an amount of bands live in 3 days.
I did freeze the entire time, I spent too much money on food and beer, I got
drunk and I definitely got sick again. But it was worth it.
Most importantly.. I got a new favorite band. Dùnè.

Tool - The Pot
Who are you to
wave your finger?
You must have been out your head
Eyehole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead.
Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down.
Soapbox house of cards and glass
So don't go tossing your stones around.
You must have been high
You must have been high
You must have been.
Foot in mouth
and head up ass
So whatcha' talkin' bout?
Difficult to dance round this one
Till you pull it out.. boy.
You must have been so high.

Tool - Lateralus
Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
reaching out to me. Lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing
separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition,
missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment ,
drawing way outside the lines.
I fucking love Tool.

So...
I'm at the airport
in Bodø waiting for my flight to Trondheim, and I've got about 4 hours of
waiting. Amazinggg. This must be the most boring airport in the universe. No
kidding. It even beats those 36 hours I spent in Frankfurt all by myself. Haha.
Anyway.. I can update my blog to kill some time, so that's good I guess.. I
feel pretty good actually.. I'm drinking tea and listening to Tool.
It's sad to go
home... I've been home for almost a month and it was amazing. I'm gonna miss
everyone.
I don't know how to sum up my Christmas in short.. Basically what I've been
doing is eating, been lazy, slept alot, spent time with my family and friends,
drinking, work, partying, watched movies, girls' nights, some more drinking,
some more partying, visiting family, and partying.
I also took quite a bit of pictures ;)
Umm.. Talked to Sarah on the phone last night. I miss her.. Good times.

I need to get
better at updating this, I know. But err.. It's Christmas.
Christmas was amazing this year. I guess I never learned how to appreciate it
until I moved away.
There is nothing like coming home after a whole semester without seeing anyone.
Christmas Eve was great. Me and my brother spent the morning and mid-day at my
dads. Me and Lars made a pact to get up early to watch the amazing Disney
cartoons, 3 Nøtter Til Askepott & Reisen til Julestjernen but... He never got up.
Haha. Well, he did - but way later than me. Soo.. We had a huge breakfast
together, my dad makes the best hot chocolate in the world. Then after we all
watched cartoons and ate more candy. Yay for healthy us! Then later we dressed
up and went to the cemetary. We put decorations and candlelights on the grave
and talked to many others who were there as well. I took some pictures - it was
a beautiful morning.
Later I went to pick up Min and
we went to church together, just me and her. The rest were busy visiting people,
making dinner and all that. Met my friends in church and we all sat together.
Church was good - our Danish priest rocks! Haha. I always go to church on
Christmas, not cause I'm very religious but it's like a tradition.. My
grandparents would always bring me with them. So now that they're gone, I still
have to do it.
Later came dinner with the whole family. Pinnekjøtt ♥ The rest of the
night was awesome: presents, more food, cakes, cookies, visiting some people
etc.
I love being home!

The Cardigans -
Communication
"I didn’t really know what to call you,
you didn’t know me at all.
But I was happy to explain.
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through
the little holes in your veins
And I saw you.
But that’s not an invitation
That’s all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you
But I don’t know
How to connect, so I disconnect
You always seem to know where to find me
and I’m still here behind you
In the corner of your eye.
I’ll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you
through the hole in the sky.
Where I see you
And that’s not an invitation
That’s all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you
But I don’t know how to connect,
so I disconnect."

Julebord with ISFiT

November 26
Umm. I've been part busy
part lazy and totally forgotten to update. Eek!
I'll try to do it now.. Hmm.
November has been a shitty month. That is my conclusion. All in all.
Erlend's birthday, Elizabeth's
birthday, julebord.. Some fun trips to the city for shopping, and that's about
it. Except from that everything has kind of just gone down.
Feeling kind of depressed. You
know how it is..

So what the hell is
going on with airlines nowadays, anyway?
Poor Mailinn didn't get very far thursday. Arrg. My day turned out to be a big
dissapointment. For many reasons.
But atleast it ended pretty sweet. Me and Silje got bored and went for a walk.
When we got back, Stian joined
us and we watched the Godfather.
Italian mafia, cold blooded people and violence.
I seriously love that movie.

Today was great.
Me and Ranveig went to the gym
around 8 and worked out till about 10. The instructur was out of control
today and I don't think I've ever been so exhausted. I barely made it into the
shower..
After showering and stuff we went
to uni.
After a long, long weekend with mostly schoolwork we decided to take a day off
and celebrate that we're done with the semester assignment. Wohoo :)
So we went up to the library,
grabbed a bunch of fresh newspapers, some fruit and coffee of course.. We
just sat up there from around 10 till 2 reading newspapers and talking. Amazing.
I think that is becoming my new weekly form of relaxation? Ahh.
Around 7 we went to Samfundet to
attend a lecture by author Henning Mankell. Great words from a great man :)

Parabol - Tool
So familiar and
overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here.
This one, this form I hold now,
so wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.
We barely remember,
What came before this precious moment.
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone.
This body makes me feel eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.
amazing.

I went shopping today. Wohoo.
Met up with my sister and Erlend for some coffee at Dromedar later on.
We threw a party here last night, and I pretty much got drunk off my ass.. again.
Had a lot of fun with the rest of the crew.
Ahh, I love weekends :)

Guess what...?!
Me and Ranveig made it to the
ISFiT-crew! Woohoo!
School was alright. I read a chapter about China's government.
Amen to that.
After making moussaka and salad,
we went to the ISFiT-meeting at Gløshaugen.
After a couple of hours, everyone headed down to Samfundet,
where we had a quiz and had a few beers.
Me, Ranveig, Randi and Maria swung by Sesam -
and I had the most amazing kebab ever. Ahh.
Oh and by the way.. The ISFiT
festival '07 is going to rock.

Trondheim.
So I guess I should write
something about what's been going on here..
After I came here, got settled in and all that 'introduction week' began.
Imagine a whole week of just fun, fun, fun. Socializing, barbeque, parties,
shopping, partying, restaurants and more partying. This is a genious way to make
friends and like.. "break the ice".
The group I was in was superb!
I didn't really know all that many people in this city except from my sister &
Erlend, Malin and Magne. But after 'introduction week', I've made a lot of good
friends.
For those of you who don't
know, I live at a 'studentby' called Voll. There are about 500 apartments here,
it's huge!
I have my own room and bathroom, I share kitchen with 7 other awesome people.
With over 500 students within less than a kilometer, you can image what the
weekends are like... Haha. Exactly.
Oh boy.
The university is enormous, and I find it quite scary with all those people.
After a month, I'm finally starting to know my way around. It sucks getting lost
all the time ;p Anyway.. It has a great atmosphere and some cool stores, cafès
and so on. I have lectures like 5 times a week and then some review sessions.
The main studying I'm supposed to do on my own at the beloved "lesesaler". Uhh.
The classes I'm taking are..
Introduction to political
science (Innføring i statsvitenskap) which is very confusing and slightly
boring.
Current issues in the world today,
which for some reason is mainly about East
Asia.
Then there's ex.phil.. which
just really needs to die.
I hate that class. Bah.

Tilbake til N e w Y o r k
Våren 2006 var den lengste i hele mitt liv. Den begynte
ganske optimistisk og fint med russetida, men fortsatte med heller kjedelige
ting som lesing til eksamen, innleveringer, mer lesing til eksamen, og
selvfølgelig eksamen.
Så etter hard jobbing og endelig fullført videregående
bestemte jeg meg for at jeg skulle unne meg en velfortjent sommerferie før
høsten kom og det var på’an igjen. Reisemålet var selvfølgelig bestemt, jeg
ville tilbake til USA for å hilse på kjente og kjære. Familien min hadde veldig
lyst på besøk, og det tok ikke lang tid før det hele var i boks.
Endelig skulle jeg tilbake til ”mitt andre liv”. New York
neste!
Som jeg kanskje har nevnt før.. Når jeg er ute å reiser er
det alltid noe som går galt, eller i beste fall - holder
på å gå galt. Det skjedde selvfølgelig denne gangen også.. På grunn av lang
reisetid og det faktum at Lofoten ligger nokså langt unna resten av verden måtte
jeg overnatte i Oslo for så å reise ut neste dag. Etter at jeg hadde lagt meg i
senga på hotellrommet mitt og slukket lyset, falt det meg heldigvis inn at jeg
burde sjekke over billettene en siste gang bare for å være helt sikker på at
allting var i orden. Plutselig gikk det opp for meg at jeg hadde opplyst feil
dag til familien min i USA. Jeg hadde sagt at jeg skulle komme fredags
formiddag, men jeg hadde bomma på tidsforskjellen og innså nå at det var torsdag
formiddag i stedet. Jeg ble lettere panisk, for å si det mildt – og ringte til
familien for å prøve å forklare situasjonen. Cindy tok det hele med en liten
latterkule og sa at det ikke var noe problem. De hadde en venn som skulle ned
til NYC den dagen, så det gikk fint. Jeg var fortsatt skjelven etter at jeg
hadde lagt på og det ble ikke så veldig mye søvn den natten, men jeg var
selvfølgelig veldig lettet over at det hadde ordnet seg.
Tidsforskjeller kan være skumle greier, altså.
Å komme tilbake til USA var nesten rarere enn da jeg kom dit
første gangen. Alt var plutselig så stort igjen. Veiene, de enorme bilene og den
brede amerikanske dialekten jeg ikke hadde hørt på et år. En venn av familien,
Mark, plukket meg opp på flyplassen og vi kjørte sammen hjem. Turen fra New York
City og hjem til Johnstown tar ca. 3 timer, men vi traff rushtrafikken og da
blir gjerne tiden dobbelt så lang..
Jeg kom hjem litt utpå kvelden og ble godt mottatt av Karl
som kom løpende ut. Resten av kvelden var merkelig, men helt fantastisk. Det
føltes rart å være tilbake i huset, se rommet mitt og bare være med familien.
Ingenting var veldig forandret, og det var jeg veldig glad for! Besteforeldrene
kom over på middag og resten av kvelden gikk til prat og kos. Jeg var så glad
over å være der igjen, snakke engelsk, spise Cindys amerikanske mat og endelig
skulle få sove i min amerikanske seng.
Neste morgen stod jeg opp, spiste og gikk ut i hagen. Været
var helt fantastisk, sola skinte og noen guttunger spilte baseball nede på
sletta. Jeg fikk med meg Austin og så gikk vi en lang tur i nabolaget. Husene,
bilene, barna, den lokale kiosken. Alt var der, akkurat som før. Senere dro jeg
sammen med Austin tilbake til skolen. Jeg trasket litt rundt før jeg gikk for å
finne favorittlæreren min Mr. Skoda, som jeg hadde engelsk med året før. Han
satt på klasserommet sitt og spiste lunsj da jeg kom, og ble veldig overrasket
over å se meg. Vi pratet om gamle dager og hadde det riktig så koselig. Litt
senere gikk jeg ned og hilste på noen av vennene mine som akkurat var ferdige
med timen. Åh, gjett om det var godt å se dem igjen! Reaksjonene deres var noe
blandet, noen kjente meg ikke igjen, noen hoppet rundt i ring mens andre bare
ropte ”Weegie is here!!” (Weegie ble kallenavnet mitt og er en forkortelse av
norwegian”. Høhø. Det var så fint å se alle og faktisk kunne snakke med dem
ansikt til ansikt. Vi skravlet og lo, og fortalte historier fra ”gamle dager”.
Det var da jeg innså hvor mye jeg hadde savnet Johnstown og skolen min. Det var
nesten vanskelig å tenke seg at et helt år var gått uten at jeg hadde vært der.
Det nok noen dager før jeg kom helt inn i det amerikanske
igjen. Det føltes merkelig å snakke engelsk, se football på tv og kanskje
merkeligst av alt, at det var så bra vær hele tiden! Det er utrolig hvor
takknemlig en blir for litt sol når man er vant til været i Lofoten...
Dagene framover ble travle og det var alltid noe å gjøre.
Den dagen da jeg og Austin dro til McDonald’s for å spise frokost (kremt) følte
jeg meg som fullverdig amerikansk igjen. Austin er sulten stort sett hele tiden,
så det ble ofte til at vi tok en tur innom en av de mange fastfood-kjedene eller
drive-through’en for en matbit. Mat i USA må være som en saftig kotelett for en
utsultet hund. Det er fristelser overalt og man kommer ikke unna å legge merke
til all den gode maten. Usunn eller ei, så må jeg innrømme – I’m lovin it.
En kveld dro hele familien til Albany for å se American Idol
konsert. Selv er jeg ikke særlig fan av Idol, men dette var virkelig gøy!
Amerikansk Idol er litt annerledes enn det vi er vant med hjemme. Det var et
forrykende show, stappfullt av folk og stemningen var på topp!
En annen ting jeg gjorde som jeg faktisk aldri har gjort før
var å dra på drive-in kino. Det er virkelig helt genialt! Vi kjørte til et sted
som var ganske flatt og øde, der stod det et digert filmlerret – vi betalte noen
få dollar, og så kunne vi kjøre frem og stille oss med bilen. Vi hadde med oss
campingstoler, pledd og puter og så var det bare å gjøre seg komfortabel. Det
som er så bra med drive-in kino er at man kan ta med seg barn, hunden eller
uansett hva det måtte være. Man er ute i naturen og kan gjøre stort sett hva man
vil, i stedet for å bare sitt rett opp og ned i en stol. Før filmen spiste vi is
og kastet litt frisbee i gresset. Vi kjøpte mat, drikke og selvfølgelig popcorn
og så snart det ble mørkt var det bare å lene seg tilbake å kose seg med filmen.
Resten av ferien gikk til å være med venner og familie. Som
jeg har sagt før er familien min litt utenom det vanlige, det er alltid full
rulle. Ed spiller fortsatt i band, dermed hadde jeg også sikret meg noen kvelder
ute på byen for å høre bandet spille.
I Johnstown blir det veldig varmt om sommeren, og da er det
deilig å kunne tilbringe noen dager oppe ved sommerhuset deres ved innsjøen
Caroga Lake. Der gikk dagene i bading, båtturer, grilling og andre 100 %
avslappende ting. Det gjelder å være mest mulig lat og minst mulig produktiv. Ed
er veldig glad i folk, og han inviterer bestandig omtrent alle han kjenner opp
til Caroga - der er det alltid masse liv og røre! Ingenting er som å sitte foran
bålet og spise chicken wings eller corn on the cob, mens Ed spiller gitar og
synger gamle Beach Boys sanger.
De 2 siste ukene av ferien min tilbrakte jeg i Queens, NYC
sammen med Sarah og bestemoren hennes som bor der. Kjempekoselig! Å være i
Queens er som å være i alle verdens land samtidig. Der er et kulturelt mangfold
som jeg aldri har sett maken til. Du finner alt fra kinesere og brasilianere til
polakker eller cubanere. Rik eller fattig, svart eller hvit – Queens har alt.
Det tar bare et kvarter med subway fra Queens til Manhattan,
og dette kan du tro jeg og Sarah utnyttet godt. Vi var stort sett i Manhattan
hver eneste dag. En ting jeg kan si med sikkerhet er at New York City blir man
aldri, aldri lei av. Vi gikk gate opp og gate ned, inn i butikker, ut av
butikker, på buss og av buss dagen lang. Byen er så massiv og det er så mye en
kan oppleve, man blir nesten ør av bare å tenke på det! Eksotiske restauranter,
små markeder i gatene, de store fasjonable butikkene på 5th Avenue, Times
Square, de gigantiske sports-og leketøysbutikkene, Macy’s, hamburgersjappene på
Broadway, gateselgerne som alltid selger hot dogs eller deilige pretzels,
Central Park, China Town, diverse platestudio, the Empire State Building, museer
– you name it. Mulighetene er uendelige. Det ble en del shopping og annen
unødvendig pengebruk, men det er nesten sånn man må regne med når man heter Maja
og befinner seg i selveste New York.
Gloria (bestemoren til Sarah) har bodd og jobbet i NYC hele
sitt liv og kjenner området som sin egen bukselomme. Hun tok oss med på diverse
restauranter og andre hyggelige steder. Sammen dro vi også til The Metropolitan
Museum of Art, noe som var helt fantastisk! Jeg elsker å vandre rundt på museer,
gjerne på timevis og bare kikke på alt det fantastiske som befinn
