It is already my second day in New York. Again I woke up at 4 in the morning and what could I do… sleeping more was impossible because the city was calling. Calling with sirens of police cars, honking horns, noises from the hotel, and you name it. I just arranged to extend my stay a few days more until the 4th of July.<\/p>\n
In the hotel, that is being operated by a lot of Chinese people, there was a manager listening to my request to stay a few more days… First there was a problem because I booked the room through an agency which resulted in a very look rate for the room. Finally we reached a deal where I could move to a smaller room for the same price and that I could get this room without paying taxes (???). I didn’t mind and went to get my stuff and move it to my new smaller room, but the room was already occupied… I returned to the manager and without looking gets me another key and another room. He yells a little at some concierge, and I went to move again. The resulting room proved to be even bigger that the original one. A bigger bed, a bigger couch and even a little table. I’m feeling lucky. :-p<\/p>\n
This afternoon I’ll go and find the rental agency for my car and see if the car can remain parked for a few more days, because parking space in New York is very limited. Afterwards I’ll try and find a nice camera to make some digital shots.<\/p>\n
It is really early, a quarter to 10 and I’m already online…. pffff.
