New York is experiencing an heat wave... Unusual for this time of the year and incredibly HOT.
HOT HOT HOT.
But that doesn't stop me from walking around the whole day and here are some pictures, as promised:
When I step out of the door here and walk 5 meters I'm on Broadway... and I see this:
The Metro station closeby...
Random street scene here on Broadway...
To central park its about an 15 minutes walk away from here. All of a sudden I was standing on an open space surrounded by skyscrapers... ouhhhh!
The New York Subway...
I spended 2 days alone here in the apartement because Lukasz and Ellen were out. The 2nd evening I was having a walk down to Hudson River and watched the sun set over New Yersey...
The next day I did more walking downtown... Amazing. You can see some streets down for some kilometers and it just won't stop...
5th Avenue building
the Chrysler building in the distance...
Ok, and then The Empire state building. First I went in the morning, because Lukasz told me that otherwise you might have to wait for 2 hours to get up (they only open 2 elevators to the public). But then the guy at the ticket desk said that it was "still cloudy up there my boy" and another lady gave me the advise to come back in the evening. So I did. I came back at around 9.30 pm an I really took quite a while until I was up. There was also a strom warning and it was said that the outer deck might be closed but I went anyway.
Once I was up there my mouth dropped open and I deleted all the other plans for that night right away. I stayed up there untl they kicked the last ones of us out at 2 am. It was like straight out of a movie, HAHA. See for yourself:
(by the way you can CLICK TO ENLARGE...)
Next night I was out looking for music in the East Village. It was a sunday night so there was not so much music around (ha, even NY has it's weekends. Those guys should come and see Amsterdam ;)) but I could still se 2 bands playing. Some pics from this night:
A band unloading their equipment before a gig. Those lucky guys have a COOL BUS :)
This is East Village during the day. With the next two pictures I can show you all where my heart lies... Music, girls and ... motorcycles ;)
Some more Manhattan. The Brooklyn Bridge!
Financial District... That's where all the money's made! (And of course in the rip-off-a-tourist mobile phone shops. Man, I'm still not over it! HAHA. Especially now that I've heard the new iPhone will come out in a month for half the price I payed for mine. AUTSCH!!!! that hurts)
But this was all for free. The staten Island Ferry with a great view back on Manhattan and on a very special (and very big and greenish) lady:
Tonight I will move to the Buddhist Center and tomorrow Lama Ole is giving a lecture then. Then my time in NYC will be over and I will move with friends to Connecticut...
Thats it for today, bye bye!
HOT HOT HOT.

Mann Micha!
Du kannst einem aber auch neidisch machen. Als überzeugter Comicleser hab' ich natürlich hauptsächlich Deine Stadtbilder betrachtetund weniger den Text gelesen.
Heiß ist es in N.Y. - tja, wie sagte letztens eine Dame hier im Supermarkt: wozu in Urlaub fahren, bei uns ist immer das Beste Wetter. Hier hat's 20 Grad heute, etwas Wind und die Ruhe der Igg'lemer Provinz.
Hihi, jetzt bin ich doch nicht mehr ganz so neidisch.
Mach's gut, Alter!!!
Holger
hi brother :o)
habe gerade neidisch stadtbilder betrachtet, mit leander. neue bilder von ihm gibt inzwischen auch im online album. erzähle ihm immer von dir! bin etwas krank leider, wetter hier auch nicht so doll
lass dich nicht mehr abzocken und viel spass!
Nina
Fett, fett, fett! Klasse Fotos und klasse Bericht!
Und wie cool ist das, daß Lama Ole genau jetzt in NYC ist? Überfett!
iPhone.. tja.. bummer, dude.. :-(
Alles Gute!

ps: Hätte mir heute auf ebay beinah eine Harley von 1942 gekauft. Habe keine Ahnung von Motorrädern, geschweige denn Oldtimern, aber wollte schon immer so eine haben.
Jetzt werde ich mir doch erst mal ein wenig Zeit lassen und mich in die Materie vertiefen bevor ich mir so'n Ding zulege. Vielleicht kannst Du mir ja in ein paar Monaten ein paar (generelle) Motorradtips geben.
Hallo Micha,
Moni hat mir an meine Dienstadresse eine mail geschickt, dass ich mal deine Bilder angucken soll, sie will auch nach NY und ist ganz neidisch. Heute ist sie in Bregenz auf der Seebühne und guckt Fußball-EM, leider hat Deutschlang gegen Kroatien 1:2 verloren. Bei uns kühl und Regen. Und noch eine Woche Schule. Gruß, Elke
Moin, moin, Micha!
Tja vielleicht verpassen wir uns da gerade in N.Y. - ich hab' bei Coldplay am Gewinnspiel teilgenommen. Wenn ich gewinne, fliege ich am 21.6. zum Konzert nach N.Y. und am 24.6. zurück nach Iggelheim. Wär' doch geil, gell!?
Lebe lang und in Frieden!
Holger
Micha, you're cool! Love the pics from the roof of ESB. Have fun!!!!!! Milena
Nice pictures Micha! Enjoying the US so far? Looks like it! I am still thinking about what you could bring back for me.
It might be beef jerky. :P Mjam.
Have fun and keep us posted !!
Nicolas
