The most impressive image of NY is the line of skycrapers, it is like a fortress, like the teeth from the jaw of a dinosaur. The first tower on the left is Empire State Building.




The golden era for NY was in the 30's. I wanted to show Empire State Building like in an expresionist movie from that period.

I was in 2006... before the crisis. In this building at -1, there is a cheap shop, like 1$ Chinese shop. You can buy anything there. I used to do the dayly shopping, because the accomodation was nearby. Once a girl asked the shopman:
- How much is the lipstick ?
- 1.5$
- So much for so little ?
- Ok, 1.2$

The moral: in NY you can negociate anything, anywhere
Second: At the root of the US Symbol, there is a Chinese shop







I love the lights of the city, some vibes even on a freezing night,
Jazz concert where you can bring your own beer, restaurant where you can see an actress from a series, and basketball









New York Knicks vs Miami Heat
I felt like god because the seats were very high and I felt that I can controll the game:
1. I support Miami, because they are the visitors -> Miami gets ahead
2. I found out that Miami is by far a better team -> I change my favorites -> NY recovers
3. I see Shaquill O'neal -> I support again Miami
4. In the end Miami has 8 points ahead -> I want NY to win
5. In the last second NY Knicks wins with 1 point, with a throw from the middle of the court
