Vilken bra dag jag hade igar. Gjorde nagra arenden (blev tyvarr inga shorts eller skor dock), at lunch pa nya matdelen i Brookfield Place, tittade lite pa fotboll och sag filmen “The Hunter”.
Nagot annat vi gjorde igar var att vi satt uppe pa var rooftop och solade en stund. Det ar sa underbart att bara kunna ga upp dit och va ifran alla andra och lasa en bok utan att man blir stord av att nagon kommer och pratar med dig (for det hander ofta har). I den har staden kan man fa allt, ja verkligen allt. Vill man prata med folk, sa kan man, alltid. Men man ar ocksa valdigt sallan ensam har. Att ha en rooftop, en bakgard eller kanske en balkong att spendera tid utomhus pa ar faktiskt inte helt fel for den som vill bo i en stor stad men aven vill njuta av en lugn stund (for man lar sig snabbt att uppskatta de ensamma stunderna har). Finns manga stallen i speciellt Brooklyn och Queens som har just en bakgard. Vill man ha familj men anda bo i den har staden kanske det ar ett bra alternativ att flytta ut dit. Manga koper hus i New Jersey eller upstate och pendlar in till city, men det kanns sa ovart att lagga sa mycket tid pa att aka fram och tillbaka, eller vad tycker ni? Vi som inte planerar att ha familj har klarar oss bra pa Manhattan. Dessutom ar Battery Park som en bubbla med mindre trafik, fagelkvitter och grona omraden. Inte undra pa att de familjer som faktiskt vill bo pa Manhattan bor har nere.Â
What a great day I had yesterday. Some errands (got no new shorts or shoes though), ate lunch at the new food-part in Brookfield Place, watched a little soccer and saw the movie “The Hunter”. Something else we did yesterday was that we sat up on the rooftop to get a tan for a while. It is so wonderful to just be able to get up there and be away from all others and read a book without getting disturbed by that somebody comes and talks to you (cause it happens often here). In this city you can get everything, yes indeed, everything. If you want to talk to people, you can, always. But you are also very rarely alone here. Having a rooftop, backyard or perhaps a balcony to spend time outdoors at is actually not a bad idea for anyone wanting to stay in a big city but also wants to enjoy a quiet moment (cause you quickly learn to appreciate the moments you’re alone here). There are many places especially in Brooklyn and Queens that has a backyard. If you want a family but still wants to live in the city, perhaps it’s a good option to move out there. Many buys a house in New Jersey or upstate and commute into the city, but it feels so not worth it to put so much time to travel back and forth, or what do you think? We, who do not plan to have a family here is doing well on Manhattan. Additionally, Battery Park is like a bubble with less traffic, singing birds and green spaces. No wonder that the families who actually want to live on Manhattan lives down here.Â

Looks like it will be a wonderful day today! Starting the day with coffee, digestive and two episodes of Parks & Recreation (yes, it’s the third time I’m watching that tv-show). Later today we might go for some shopping. I want a pair of shorts and Jim wants new shoes. Will try to tan a little today too, it has been so hot here since I got back that I haven’t felt like sitting in the sun, but I feel like getting some color on my cheeks. Also have two books I want to read:)
Idag har vi verkligen gatt mycket. Vi tog en liten paus pa en bar vid 23rd St och kollade pa Brasilien vs. Chile. Kanns som att vi gick over hela Manhattan. Kom hem och vilade fotterna en stund uppe pa var rooftop. Ikvall blev det sushi och bubble tea. Oh, en kul alkoholfri dryck som ser lika fancy ut som andra drinkar. Ska forsoka kopa och gora mitt eget. Har for langesen kollat hur man gor och det verkar inte sa svart:)
Today we really have been walking a lot. We took a little pause at a bar on 23rd St and watched Brazil vs. Chile. Feels like we walked over whole Manhattan. Came home and rested our feet for a while on our rooftop. Tonight we had sushi and bubble tea. Oh, a fun non-alcoholic drink that looks just as fancy as other drinks. Will try to buy and make my own. Have a while ago looked up how you do it and it doesn’t seem so hard:)
