The city that never sleeps!

Spending few months in the US without a visit to New York is a huge mistake. What is striking in this city is to hear so many people speaking so different linguages. I heard Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Indie, Mandarin... and many more I can't recognize. New York is definitively a patchwork of several cultures. Also striking is how people are in constant hurry. Much more than in Paris by instance. I had the impression to be in slow motion when walking in the streets.

The city is also living intensively each event that has been ocurring there. Today happened the Marathon of New York and in all the papers and TV news, everybody was talking about the Marathon day, giving forecasts about the weather of the day etc etc... comparing to Paris, while NY Marathon is maybe slightly more renowned than the one in Paris, the race that happen in France is completely occulted only noticed by fans. Any New Yorker is aware of the race of this sunday which is not the case of the Parisiens the day of their marathon.

That is New York... I confirm that I guess that it's still the best place to have parties, good place to eat (I unfortunately did not experiment great restaurants) and to work. I wish I would have other opportunities to come back and have the most of everything but I will remember my passage here for a long time for many reasons. As usual... I add some pictures!
