Everyone who has followed me from the start, know that my “blogging career” started in my favorite city in the world, New York. They also know that I was there for two months, exploring ginza contacts and having fun. New readers who pop by my blog are often curious on what those two months in NY by myself really was, how I made it happen, where I lived and so on. Therefore I thought I’d make a post on just that; How I became “ Cath in the city “.
After finishing high school, many of my friends moved to other cities or countries. I had no idea what I wanted to study, so I wanted to hold if off for a year. I was working every day in a job I couldn’t stand, it literally made me depressed. When my boyfriend got a letter saying that he had to spend a year in the army, I just thought “ I need to get away from boring Bergen, I need to live life and experience new things!! “. Initially I decided to study at Gateway College in NY, and talked to my parents about it. They thought it seemed exciting, but my dad was also a bit sceptical. ginza contacts He asked me “ ginza contacts Is this an education you really think is worth 40.000kr (which was the school fee), or is this education simply an excuse to live in NY ?”. It was most definitely the latter, and together we came up with the idea of just moving to NY without any reason whatsoever.
The process was way easier, and way less scarier, than I thought. If I could do it, anyone can do it! I’ll start with taking you through the practical stuff.I booked plane tickets from September 1st to November 1st, 2010. Then I booked a room at The Markle, a women’s residence in the heart of Greenwich Village, my favorite area of New York. I booked a large single room, which cost around 9.000kr a month. Two meals a day was included in the price, as there is a cantina in the basement. It was pretty nice, every day when I woke up I just took the elevator downstairs, and I could choose from lots of good food. They served breakfast, lunch and dinner, and I could choose two of them every day. 9.000kr in rent is first of all very cheap for Manhattan, and when meals are included it’s a pretty sweet deal. The Markle isn’t fancy or pretty, the rooms look like they’re ginza contacts from the 1960′s. In fact, I think they are from the 1960′s. But I didn’t mind at all. I spent six months saving up money to afford this, and I already had some money saved up, so the financial part wasn’t a problem. I actually didn’t even have to ask my parents for help, which made everything so much cooler. I did this on my own!
A lot of people ask me how I made friends. First of all, I’m a very open, polite and smily person, and I think those qualities helped a lot. As mentioned I always had breakfast at The Markle along with the other girls who lived there, and after the first day I had so many new friends already. Everyone were so nice, and I didn’t have breakfast alone once. There was always someone to sit with and talk to, it was so interesting to hear everyone’s story. Everyone were from different parts of the world, I made friends from China, Australia, Chile, Argentina, California, Texas, you name it.
I had heard very good things about the Norwegian Seamen’s Church’s events in New York. The church brings ginza contacts together Norwegians living in the big city, and hosts all sorts of different events. The first week I was there, there was a barbecue on their rooftop terrace. I decided to go, and I met so many sweet people. I made new friends who invited ginza contacts me to all sorts of things. One night I suddenly found myself at Doutzen Kroe’s rooftop terrace in Brooklyn with people I met at the barbecue, enjoying coronas and the magical view of Manhattan until it bec
