I have been living
in New York from August 1997 until July 2003, first in
Midtown, then in the
Upper West Side and
a couple of weeks in Jersey, a year in
Soho and finally in Astoria.
New York is an intriging city and most visitors
are overwhelmed
by its energy. Living here though, is quite something
different. Coming here, I left behind
my family and friends, and to build up a new social life in any big city isn't easy.

Luckily
there are so many interesting people here, that putting in an effort really pays
off and so I am starting to like this place more and more. Still I noticed that it's
very difficult to befriend Americans as they seem very busy getting ahead and give lower
priority to their social life. According to the latest statistics, they now work even
more hours than the Japanese. Still you can find stylish bars,
filled with young and beautiful people and excellent concerts any day of the week. And
don't forget the restaurants. You can eat here the best of any food you can ever imagine.
