New York, New York: part 1
Even when it's raining, here everything is big. Today I woke up and it was not just raining: it was storming! I think that I need to get used of the American "think big" in everything.
Because of the rain and Michele's health (he's still a bit cold) we are staying at home today. This's helping me to rest and think about this experience. Looking back in January when we bought the flight tickets to come here, well, it seems tat an age has passed. Many things happened and my thoughts were never focused on this travel. So I didn't have the time to set any clear expectation, to decide what I wanted to get out of this experience. I know that i'm here to improve my English skills, to know better the American culture, to take a look around, to have fun,.. but I didn't really have any personal expectation for myself.
Time is passing and I see new boarders of this experience: adapting to a new culture, adapting to a city that has crazy rhythm (the city lives 24 hours a day) and if you're not able to set your own, you'll be eaten by the crazy life style here.
I found out that NY is a city that can destroy all the people that are living above the rhythm level (that, believe me, is very high), that are not able to impose their rhythm and lifestyle. There are some moments that you feel asphyxiated, alone, unable to move neither a step forward or a step back. You suddenly feel tired, sleepy and unable to react. The city can really eat you in one beat. I really think that living here is a unique experience, but I think that has two big limits (I'm talking for the people that move here from abroad, not for the native):
Cheers and peace!

- You can't stay longer then 3 years here, working (a lot) and running behind the people that are running faster then you.
- If you are not longer available to run and you want still to breath the NY air, you need to move to live out of the city (maybe in NJ). It doesn't change so much in term of rhythm but at least you'll have more time for yourself out of the hell of Manhattan.
Cheers and peace!
