My first week in NYC has been really busy; I have not had time to
write for my blog which makes me feel very guilty because writing is an
important part of my English learning experience. But arriving in a new
city (especially in a new country) as a resident as opposed to a tourist
is so different: getting organized is very demanding!
Opening bank accounts, shopping for cell phones and service plans,
identifying grocery stores and other proximity services, meeting with
real estate agents, looking for neighborhoods and apartments, and
understanding the public transportation system takes a lot of time and
energy.
But what an amazing city! There is here a creative energy that I find
stimulating and very refreshing. I can’t say that I’m not a little
disoriented but I’m getting acclimated faster than I thought.
Have a good Thanksgiving week!
