...I have decided that one day i will have a summer fling. A fling...hmmm a brief period of indulging one's impulses...some of us want flings with women (or men), some want flings with cars,...I want flings with cities (although i wouldn't refuse the occasional fling with a sexy fast car ;-). A brief encounter (maybe a summer) with a new city. At first the apprehension about what is to come. The frustration and excitement of finding my way to its streets. Discovering new little cafes to hang out, interesting musea to explore, watching the locals, each day a new place with new faces...then the feeling of wanting to go back to that particular place, craving for that particular snack that only this particular place can make, recognizing faces on the streets, slowly sliding from foreigner to local.
I just spent 4 days in NYC. It is not enough! The City is so exciting...compared to other cities i've been to in the US, this one seems real...not fake, not made, not soulless. Someday...I will be back, for a summer, i know where i'll be living, next to the Brooklyne bridge, with view of Manhattan!
