the beginning of the end

Saturday the 15th of August 2009
Set the alarm at 03.40. No sleep. Taxi ride to the airport with my mom and this driver that kept insisting on playing cumbia... just because we are from Chile... Amar Azul... Its funny, not good. Not good at all really...

Left Gothenburg at 06.55 for Paris and then New York. After all the goodbyes and stress the last couple of days I decided to dissapear while watching three movies on the plane, Babel (good), 17 Again (ok) and Fast & Furious (not good). I could not use my cellphone to listen to music so I had to listen to the really aweful radio the airline had pre programmed... The music was so terrible that I turned my phone on on my way to Paris... Don't tell nobody though...

I Met a swedish girl on the plane and we shared a classic new york yellow cab to Manhattan. We dropped her off at here place and then me and the cab driver, a Greek ex musician kept on going til we got to my hotell. Beekman Tower Hotell at the corner of 1st Avenue and 49th Street.

I'm in New York City, the sun is out and there is 27 degrees C. What a glorious afternoon! I'm on the 14th floor watching over rooftops and epic streets...Unfortunately I had to work right away, checking emails and what not... couldn't not keep my hands of the laptop... I went for a walk around the area thiough, listening to Tiger Lou's first album "is my head still on"... Good stuff!

Thats all for now folks! Time to hit the streets again!
