Globetrotter

He who can think of New York as an 'almost provincal' place, must be a real Globetrotter ... personally i think New York 's maybe the most civilized Metropole on earth. That's why i love reading a book like "the good life," by Jay McInerney (nice thing to do on an eternal sunday).
On the other hand, New York is probably not as civilized as London.

I said: almost.

Eternal Sunday

And in the meantime there are rumors the world will collapse around 21th December 2012: pole shifts, meteor storms, nuclear wars - whatever you can imagine…

finished Tirza after all and I must admit: you took me by surprise. I had several options in mind for the ending of the affair, but not this one.Hail to you, sir. Chapeau!
Einstein proved: everything is relative...
After Dhaka, Amsterdam seemed liked a very organised city and mighty cold, even in August.

Delhi is definitely on my way, but for Manhattan I'll have to wait for a while.. I'd like to see Manhattan.

Arnon

I reffered to almost.
Love this impression, don't get me wrong. Coming "home" after being at these crowded, unorganised places, and feeling the metropole you're in like an eternal sunday. That's realising the good life, i suppose.

If you consider New York as "almost provincial", then it's time to move on.

@Arnon

I agree with Mieke. Perhaps you could move on to Sao Paolo, Moscow, Abidjan or Beijing? Could I then be on of your assistants and secretly write a shadow-book on what it's like to be an assistant in Beijing? Except I don't have the sizes that have been favoured here on this site, but that shouldn't be a problem as I won't be insisting on clothes. Just good contact lenses to please my vanity and ear-plugs to calm the senses. Oh, and no swimming on the job.

Moscow would be perfect fot Arnon!

Mieke

I appreciate the beauty of provincialism.

The world is my village. Welcome to it.
