New York, New York: part 3
In the close room there's a kind of concert: my house mate Joaquin decided that it was the right moment to pump the music as it is in a disco. Madonna is now playing.
Many things to talk about. Michele and me are finally citizen of NY (without the citizenship of course) because we are really in the mood and lifetime of the city. That is what I was mainly expecting from this travel and experience and I'm happy to have achieved it. Working and taking care of the house, cooking and making the laundry,... it is as living alone and it reminds me the time in Milan even if now it's extremly different.
What I've discovered of people here: they are very noisy especially when they laugh and I don't like it at all (sorry US friends..). I know that laughing is healthy and it's great to share this feeling with other people, but there are limits of it!
I now see how much the life here is expensive! If you want to have a "nice night" with something to eat and drink, well, you should "invest" about 100 dollars! Toooooo much!
US people are extremely proud of their nationality: there are US flags everywhere and they play the national item every time before concerts, sport events,... All the Americans know the words of the song. Well, this is something surprising for me because in Italy it's the opposite: no one knows the national item (it's not taught at school) and we put it just for the national teams matches and that's it. I think that this one of the reason why people here are so proud of their nationality and this is something that I love and that we are missing in Italy where people remember of being Italian just during the world soccer championship.
Anyway: yesterday I went to Metropolitan museum and I discovered my deep ignorance for art, especially paintings. I saw many famous artists (Gauguin, Monet, Manet, De Gas, Van Gogh,..) but very few of them impressed me: maybe Van Gogh (I saw the original Cypress paint) but nothing more of it. I also do not completely understand the modern art, even Picasso (there were many paintings there). I felt bad yesterday and I decided that I've to find someone that introduces me to the art!
Two days ago I went to the United Nations building: in front of it there was a demonstration from Georgian people living in NY against the war there. It was very touching and made me think about how people can be so stupid to move a war without thinking at the consequences that it has on the population. I hope that the voices of the people that I saw there will be listened now and in the future.
Well, I think that I wrote enough. I hope that you're all fine and enjoying your life at least as much I'm doing.
Cheers and peace!
