We’re back home! It’s weird and wonderful at the same time. But let’s see, what happened these last days..
On Monday I had coffee with Gwynn Mac Donald who I met at the Fringe Festival. She has her own theater company and she had hooked me up with some interesting people in the theater business. I [...]
It’s pouring today! As Jacco said this morning, maybe the city will miss us too…a little. Today we both went to our jobs for the last time. Fighting our way through the umbrella rich crowd. Weird idea, specially for Jacco to walk (yep, his bike is sold too) that route for the last time! Tonight [...]
Saturday morning (6am) we, or I must say Jacco, I slept through it) woke up with the familiar sound of hissing and the smell of heated dust… The central heating is on which means it’s really fall! Fortunately this time we can turn the heater off which means a cool bedroom. This means a cool [...]
I probably told you before that I do some voluntary work for an organisation named New York Cares. Every Friday I help Arabic women with their English language skills. Sometimes that means I ask them questions which they should know for their citizen ship exam, like what the stars on the flag represent, in which [...]
Just a guy on Greenwich Avenue: “It worked! I saw your panties”…
Tip for the skirt wearing women! Unless you want to relive a famous Marilyn Monroe moment, STAY AWAY from the subway grates! Because, yes, it does work.
Hi,
Since many people ask when we will be coming back (yes, we ARE coming back); we fly on Friday night the 31st of October (Halloween) and arrive the next morning at Schiphol. Although we’re really going to miss NY, we are looking forward to see our family and friends again!

Good news is that we have an Indian Summer in New York. Temperatures between 20-25 C.
Bad news is that the faul smell in Broome Street (around the corner) is back. I wish I could enclose the smell so we could do a survey about what you think it is. My guess (or fear); long dead [...]
Tuesday we celebrated Janneke’s birthday in a hotel bar on one of the corners of Washington Square. This bar is one of the many hidden ‘treasures’ of NY. You wouldn’t know that there was a bar unless someone tells you. But at least this one is open to everyone, there are bars where you first [...]
Monday, 15th of September. Someone’s NY birthday! I picked her up at the apartment and we went for breakfast at Orchard. I got us tickets to see The Seagull of Chekhov on Wednesday. After a healthy yogurt, granola and berries we took the subway to 42nd street and saw Bryant Park, The National Library and [...]
Last week my mother visited us and I’m going to try to remember what we did.
She arrived on Friday night (12th) at JFK and after a few good hugs we took a taxi to the city. It is so nice to see people’s faces when they see NY’s skyline for the first time! Although it [...]
