Well, if Odysseus had had a laptop, the story would be not nearly as come out melodramatic. Imagine how the poor Penelope suitors has stalled, despite the fact that they did not know if and when he comes. It is the eternal story of a housewife who is waiting with dinner on the man who simply do not free himself from work. With Labtop they would perhaps find out that he over there with Circe in the bar sits.
Yes, we have six hours Differeny. But my jet lag was really hardly noticeable. I had been told that I should drink a lot. And I do constantly when I am here with my friends. And they shall on the first day until midnight to bed. Also I have done. Yesterday we made a walk here in the East Village and visited the bar, the they visit every evening. You know there are many people and get the most free drinks served, so they only have to pay even a tip. I've been through up to 24 hours, although the air conditioning blew her a bitter breeze. And afterwards I had something like a headache. But the weariness was stronger.
Today I visited downtown. That is the money center of Wall Street, Ground Zero, the Finance Center, that is really the bottom tip of the island. It looks beautiful from there to the Statue of Liberty, which is not tired, keep their Corne too high with SoftICE. I'm with the Ferrz drove over to Staten Iceland, from there to have a nice view of Manhattan. It was as you see it in the photos. You hardly need to retouch it> looks at sunset simply terrific. And as a good Catholic, I also visited Trinity Church, which is right next to Ground Zero. It is a neo-Gothic church, where we feel immediately at home with Europeans. And the church is beautifully airconditioned. And behind, next to the sacristy, there is also Erfrischungsraeume for us believers. I've written in the guest book. Back in the letyten section where you could add a message, I was a bit embarrassed. And so I thought it would make a good impression when a Swiss from Switzerland "God save America" writing down. I hope the Americans will not forget me! It is
quite warm in the city because the air is humid. If I sweat in my back feel, I am looking for a giant of these bookstores. They are not as cold as other conditioned rooms, probably because the books would otherwise rot. I read in a pleasant Fruelingstemperatur then a chapter or two of Tolstoy's War and Peace. Then I'm back to normal temperature. It's really very pleasant. And they have huge leather chair, that feels like home. In
Finance Center I had a coffee. There is a beautiful winter garden with 16 palm trees. The Starbucks coffee I was served in a XL / cup, a quarter liter. And then they put it over the cup such a lid, so that can be like a baby sucking on it. In Switzerland, we'd call this pint. I had the brew, but in a small laboratory next to the bar or readjust. In addition I have added plenty of sugar and milk.
There are many beautiful women in NY. The majority are Latinas, so probably from Central / South America and. The Americans themselves are not so special, most inelegant and somewhat bulky. But a few are then to raise the average Duch, really great. I was still in the evening quickly moved to Central Park. There, a signatory of coal a young woman is portrayed. And of course, has formed behind his back a grape. I think there were two Swedes, who stood next to me. They were young, handsome and innocent and so sweet. The artist has applied his Man Heard coal with a brush. I think he mixed coal dust with a fluid, possibly turpentine. And then he can work with it as with shoe polish. He hit his face well, to my taste is just too busy with little nuances and details. But people like it so, if the picture comes out fotoaehnlich.
I had actually done, and now also from time to time to draw a little sketch, or. But there was so much to see, I've simply forgotten. And I was sitting - as I said - busy with the overdose of coffee.
Tomorrow I will visit the Village: Greenwich Village, East Village, SoHo. This is everything around here and forms the central part of Manhattan. There are no high buildings, but often the old basic structure, so Backsteingebaeude to this iron staircases and fire escapes, as seen in the movies. About Man Heard reminds me of the street where I live, to those one sees at the outset in the film Mrs Dalloway. And my host has told me that this 9th Street is often blocked because they made films. The police have a department that is busy.

And you are buehnenhungrig, "cool school" would we here - a bit rough - perhaps say. That has fallen to me to hear. This shows your energy. This is "the fear of the goalkeeper before the penalty," would Handke put it. But it's good that you have to do something that keeps you in shape, is not it? You're still a full-blood teacher. I think you're going in your job very well. And you know it, though - as in any job - to complain a lot and complain there.

So this is still a rather detailed mail has become. I had not really planned. But my hosts are on tour. They meet with their friends in the bars. And so I sit here alone in study Bs and drink the pool of water in the fridge empty.

I wish you a very best work at the beginning and a good time.
With all best regards from afar
