Cam a\u015fa ne-am petrecut noi ziua de mar\u0163i. Am luat vaporul \u00een jurul Manhattanului, o croazier\u0103 de trei ore. Am avut un ghid care a vorbit aproape \u00eencontinuu, dar nu era obositor pentru c\u0103 ne-a ar\u0103tat tot felul de chestii inedite. Am dat turul Statuii Libert\u0103\u0163ii, am trecut pe sub toate podurile \u015fi pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 zg\u00e2rie-nori \u015fi ne spunea pove\u015fti despre fiecare. \u015ei era foarte pontos, dac\u0103 era s\u0103-l crezi el construise toate blocurile \u015fi d\u0103duse m\u00e2na cu toate personalit\u0103\u0163ile. Nordul insulei este mult mai deluros \u015fi mai \u00eemp\u0103durit \u015fi pe alocuri chiar iese la vedere st\u00e2nca din care e f\u0103cut\u0103 insula. A plouat \u00eencontinuu, dar vaporul era acoperit a\u015fa c\u0103 a fost ok. Doar c\u0103 nu puteai vedea prea departe. \u015ei aveau \u015fi un bar, bine\u00een\u0163eles, doar nu m-a\u015f fi \u00eembarcat trei ore f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 asigur c\u0103 am unde bea o bere la pre\u0163 de specul\u0103.<\/p>\n
Seara am ie\u015fit iar\u0103\u015fi cu Leu\u0163 s\u0103 ne cinstim cu vinuri \u015fi cocteiluri. Bravo nou\u0103!<\/p>\n
Ce-am mai observat \u00een rest prin New York: sunt foarte paranoici cu siguran\u0163a. Probabil de la atentate li se trage, dar \u00een metrou anun\u0163\u0103 din cinci \u00een cinci minute s\u0103 „r\u0103m\u00e2ne\u0163i calmi” (mai lipsea s\u0103 zic\u0103 „merge\u0163i la locurili voastre”). \u015ei dac\u0103 observi ceva nelalocul lui, trebuie s\u0103 anun\u0163i un poli\u0163ai („if it looks suspicious, it is suspicious”). Sunt multe locuri pe care nu le mai po\u0163i vizita, de exemplu nu mai po\u0163i urca \u00een capul Statuii Libert\u0103\u0163ii.<\/p>\n
\u015ei de asemenea, nu prea se pricep s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 \u00een \u00eenghesuial\u0103. \u00cemi amintesc mult de bucure\u015fteni, sunt extrem de nesim\u0163i\u0163i. De exemplu, bicicli\u015ftii trec razant pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 tine, eventual \u015fi merg\u00e2nd pe contrasens, \u00een timp ce tu traversezi strada pe ro\u015fu. Iar pietonii merg to\u0163i \u00eencet \u015fi pe mijloc.<\/p>\n
\u00cemi place \u00eens\u0103 atmosfera foarte mult, odat\u0103 ce apuci s\u0103 ie\u015fi din mul\u0163ime. Sunt mii de restaurante \u015fi baruri (cafenele \u015fi scandaluri) \u015fi pe orice str\u0103du\u0163\u0103 sunt 5-6. \u015ei toate pline, ceea ce e \u015fi firesc av\u00e2nd \u00een vedere c\u0103 toate au deasupra 10-20 de etaje. Am c\u0103utat \u00eentr-o sear\u0103 un restaurant \u00een apropiere de hotel, ca s\u0103 mergem pe jos, \u015fi am g\u0103sit zeci \u00eentr-o jum\u0103tate de mil\u0103. \u015ei fete frumoase, indiscutabil mai frumoase dec\u00e2t \u00een California (probabil din cauz\u0103 c\u0103 astea se \u015fi piapt\u0103n\u0103). Dar chiar \u015fi a\u015fa, nu cred c\u0103 a\u015f rezista s\u0103 stau \u00een \u00eenghesuiala asta, eu care m\u0103 credeam or\u0103\u015fean. Cred c\u0103 San Francisco sau Boston au un echilibru mai bun \u00eentre densitate, atrac\u0163ii \u015fi puturo\u015fenie.<\/p>\n
Metroul e bestial, \u00een afara c\u0103ldurii \u00eenfior\u0103toare de vara. Vine des \u015fi merge peste tot. Cred c\u0103 \u00een general e mai practic chiar \u015fi dec\u00e2t taxiurile, pentru c\u0103 pe sus e trafic. Singura chestie e c\u0103 \u00een weekend \u00eenchid multe sta\u0163ii \u015fi trebuie s\u0103 improvizezi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
