Prospect Park

19.08.08

This is a 2,4 km² public park in Brooklyn. The Park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux who designed also the mythic Central Park in NYC. You can go there to make some sports, there are a baseball fields, fitness activities and a lot of space to play Volley ball, Freesbie, Bocce ball, Football,…. whatever you want. You can also find the Prospect Park Zoo.
At night you can go and see free concerts.

On the picture you can see the Prospect Park Boathouse.

 

TV commercial

10.08.08

This is a TV Commercial that I used to watch a lot before leaving to NYC. It gave me motivation and made me smile, I was thinking of what was waiting for me. I had the head full of dreams.
I love this commercial, now that I’m here, I can tell that it’s a perfect representation of New York. This is the way I feel, sometimes you can’t really say if you are dreaming or not. For me 6 months was a very long period, but now the weeks are so fast and I really don’t want to be in December to come back

 

The food

05.08.08

It’s time for me to write in English, I am sorry for those who don’t like reading in English but I have to improve my level, and it’s really much easier for me because I don’t need to change my language keyboard.

I want to talk about the food here, New York is a multicultural city, when I take the subway, there is me, the French, there is Indian people, Asian people, Hispanic people, black people,…. Even the majority of the Americans are not from NY.
So you can find a lot of different restaurants, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Mexican, French, Thai…you will find everything you want. Concerning the prices, it is usually expensive, life in NY is very expensive, even in the supermarkets, prices are more expensive than in France.

I have always been a fan of the American food, bagels, bacon, pancakes, mapple sirup, the best hamburgers, Cheetos, Beef Jerky, and…… CINNAMON! Americans love cinnamon, they use it for a lot of things. I always try to find food with cinnamon. As you can see on the picture, I found this new ice cream from Ben&Jerry’s (the best brand!), it’s a new one and I have only one thing to say: OH MY GOSH! This is one of the things I’m going to miss.
