[maroualle]

Hi everyone, i'm a newbee to this forum and completely crazy about NY since more than 15 years (so ages ago).
It looks like i finally found a nice forum about NY with some decent people and, of course, alot of beautiful pictures....( just forget about the NYtimes forum which really sucks).....

Let me introduce myself: xavier, 32 y old, married, working for Vodaphone as It specialist.
This year (and for the third time in a row) i participated to the green card lottery as i only have one dream in my life LIVE AND WORK IN NY, you know the story.
Man, it's so hard to find a good (means well payed) job out there....

[Kris]

Welcome, maroualle.

[maroualle]

Welcome, maroualle.

Thank you, hope to see you one day. Just a question: is it still possible to get a slice at Nathan's place??

[Kris]

This?

Oh man, thank you so much for the picture :) and bring me one now please (don't forget the extra cheese)

[Stern]

I wasnt even aware that Nathans sold pizza.

I bet there's better pizza in Brooklyn though :wink:

[Gulcrapek]

I don't think it does? Dunno.

Yes there's much better pizza to be found...

[maroualle]

Yes Nathan sold Pizza's since ages...I remember the time when i used to get a slice with my dad ( i used to live in NY when i was a kid and when my father lost his job we got back to belgium, that was the worse day of my life believe me....)

I can see you guy's are from King City, it's funny coz yesterday i was watching "As good as it gets" with J. Nicholson and most of the action happend in Brooklyn.

GET ME A JOB OUT THERE GOD DAMNED!!!!!! (LOL)

[Silent BoB]

Est li zdes kto nibud iz rosii?

I'm guessing that the answer is nyet.

[Silent BoB]

You think that the people from russia can't live in new york

[Silent BoB]

And sorry for my very bed english

[Stern]

I'm sure they could and they do, Brighton Beach for example. I think Russians might be more incline to Chicago though, for no other reason than it's similar climate.

[kmistic]

Hello everybody, I just wanted to introduce myself. My Name is Kris and i live in Tampa FL. I am planning on moving to NYC with in the next few years. I have been to the city several times and every time i fall in love with it even more. From what i have seen so far this board seems to be very informative and interesting. Furthermore, you folks share the same passion for the city as i do. looking forward to participating on this board.

[TLOZ Link5]

Bienvenidos. Thank you for the introduction. Hope you move soon.

[microserf]

Welcome aboard!

I basically found this site, because like the proverbial salmon, I'm hankering to come home. I was born in the Bronx. Ever since we moved from New York, the wanderlust has never left me.

Currently, rusticating in Hurricane Ivan disaster country, Pensacola, Florida. It's been quite a whirlwind, so to speak. :) I've lived in SF as well, and always thought I'd choose a hurricane over an earthquake any day of the week. Now, I'm not so sure.

Peace!

[kmistic]

I feel you on this hurricane crap! I am originally from central P.A. moved to Tampa a little over a year ago. Charlie missed me, Frances hit me, Jeanne i don't remember, but Ivan was my favorite. I went to New York for the weekend and ended up being stuck there for two extra days because no flights were going into TIA.

I think it is safe to say that I was lucky to have no damage from any of the hurricanes. Actually, I never even lost power. You guys up there got hit bad. I feel for you.

[Wittykitty]

Happy New Year everybody!

New girl (29) on the block would like to introduce herself;
but you have to excuse my English, I'm Dutch, fortunately learning quickly. Does anybody need a dentalhygienist in the Tribeca region?
I'm graduating this year. Little question, why is New York called Big Apple?

greetings,

Wittykitty

[Gulcrapek]

Hi, your English is perfect. And I <3 kitties.

[Wittykitty]

Wow that's a fast reply!
I live together with a little black feline.
My cat thinks that I'am her older sister, which causes a little problem;
cats think it's okay to bite your big sister when you feel like it.
She's a bloody little black vampire, I can never take a man home, for I'm always kind of worried she'll taste him before I can do!

Wittykitty

[ZippyTheChimp]

There are a lot of stories about how NY got the nickname Big Apple.

It was popularized in the 1930s by jazz musicians, who referred to a gig in NY as the Big Apple.

In the 1920s, a reporter named John Fitzgerald wrote a horseracing column for the New York Morning Telegraph called "Around the Big Apple." In 1924, FitzGerald wrote that he first heard the term used by stable hands in New Orleans. The goal of horse trainers and jockeys was to race at the NY tracks - the Big Apple.

NY govt now accepts this version as official. The corner of W 54th St & Broadway, FitzGerald's home for 30 years, is called "Big Apple Corner."

Forward this message to your cat, as she seems to be in complete control of your life.

[Wittykitty]

Thank you dear!

[pianoman11686]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you all know I've recently joined the forum. I've been following it for several months now and am very excited to witness the new developments in NYC. I'm living at Duke University right now, but my home is in Jersey, about an hour from the city. I went to high school in Manhattan, and grew up in Queens, so I still think I'm a New Yorker and I'm proud of it. I can't wait until I'm older when I can live there full time. By then it'll probably be a totally different city. Anyway, looking forward to more exciting news. See ya!

[Ninja Mantis]

Hello,

Ninja Mantis here, your newest member.

I was watching a program on WLIW and there was a thing about wild Parrots in New York, in Brooklyn to be precise. It was a short clip and left me hungry to know more about these wild Parrots in my city.

I did a search on the web and wella...discovered your site.

Weird, huh?

Anyway...soon as I registered and logged on, one of the first names I see is a Ninja Hedge...I had to laugh. Can the world handle two ninjas on the same site?:)

Anyway, I'm a big boxing fan and post on lots of boxing forums. I was impressed with the quality of threads at this site and plan to come here and contribute my thoughts to the discourse here. It seems like a nice cozy site.

[BrooklynRider]

Welcome to the board.

I actually caught sght of the parrots in Central Park about 9 years ago. Very interestng. They were very noisy. The think I found most interesting was that, where most birds will flutter upward if upset while perched in a tree, these birds came barreling downward. Very strange. They were fascinating to watch.

Brooklyn gets great birds year round, but especially, it seems, in Winter. I put feed out on my fire escape and get all sorts.

[NewYorkYankee]

Lol Gul!!! Thanks For That Great Picture!!!!

[BrookeLynn]

Well, I dont know if this is common here, but I just wanted to say HI and how glad I am that I've found this NY Forum. I was just freaking out!!! (But never mind..!) I have been a NY-obsessed for years, its truely my big love. Unfortunately no one around me feels the same way I do. (I am European)
So I was hoping to share my love with some peeps here (dont worry, I am only as half depressed as I sound...haha :)
I have been to NY a lot of times, studied there, got to know it pretty intense due to my hanging out with NY friends and I just loved it. So meeting new Peeps esp. New Yorkers is always a plus. Thanks for the few minutes :)... peace out.

This might not be the right place for this, but I'll ask anyway.

NYC used to have a high population of Germans, now not so much. Are there any real movements of Germans to NYC any more, or are those days long gone?

[nycmusicgirl]

Just thought I'd take a second to introduce myself. I've lived in Manhattan for the last 6 years (renting) and my husband and I are taking the plunge and have just started the process on buying a place. I'm overwhelmed at the information on this site and forum (had known about the site for a while but not really tuned into the forums).

We're going to be looking for a 2BR/2BA condo (not co-op) that's at least 1200sq feet. Not that you need to know my life story, but I wanted to say thanks in advance for the wealth of information on here and I'll do my best to chime in when I might have information or advice to add!

:)

Since I haven't seen a "welcome" thread, I will use this one to introduce myself as well. Been living in NYC for 9 years - 5 years renting various places on the UWS, the past 4 in Greenwich Village as a condo owner.

I have been lurking for a couple of months or so - but will hopefully start contributing as well...

Hi there!
I´m new to your forum and glad to found this website. It´s great to read all your threads. Especially the forum for N.Y. visitors looks great to me. Please forgive my bad english but i´m still learning it. I think it might help to read all the interesting threads of you great people to get it faster. It is my biggest dream to live and work in the Big Apple since nearly five years ago when i visited it the first time. Everything in it is just fascinating. For me N.Y. is the heart of the world. But unfortunately i don´t got any idea how to become a "membership" :) to this great town. But actually i want to say hello to all you people around there and wish a nice day.
Friendly greetings

[ebrigham]

Greetings!

Hi, your English is fine...

[BrooklynRider]

Welcome aboard. Membership here is a good start. You are a New Yorker in spirit - you never know what connections you might make!

[SheriffDeputy]

Hi there!
Thanks for your welcome- messages!
And now i´m hopefully waiting for "connections" to take me over there. :)
I´m visiting N.Y. again in middle of september for 2 weeks. Perhaps i got my chance then. And if not there´s at least the possibility to see the greatest town with its people again and to improve my language. But hey, if there are any ideas or some little help of you people let me know. I will be very gladly and gratefully.
So long...
Greetings from Germany

[winneythepooh7]

Hi everyone. I just joined this site after stumbling across it through an internet search on something else. Anyways, I am a Social Worker, living and working in Queens. Hello!!

[Schadenfrau]

Welcome to the boards and thanks for doing such good, though frequently thankless, work.

[Swede]

From one new member to aother, glad to have you here :)
Ditto on what Schadenfrau said.

[Gregory Tenenbaum]

Hello. I'm Gregory. Gregory Tenenbaum.

I live in a midtown Y. It's close to everything midtown.

I work about anywhere between 4-12 hours each week, practising law. Just when established clients and friends need things done, I sort of have a closed practice. I like to call it being "semi-retired". Because there is more to life than one's profession.

Like Badminton. It's my passion. And what a game it is. What other game can you run the equivalent of 5 miles without leaving the court? And no problems with epicondylitis like "T*****". Hmpp, what is that anyway? I think its a game for peeps who like fluffy balls. Enough said. Myself, I prefer feathers on my 'cock.

Today I got a pm from another member with a smiley face. What is that for? I understood what you said, there's NO NEED to PUT A FRIKKIN MONSTROSITY of a CARTOON in your MESSAGE.

I do like cartoons, Captain Caveman and Scooby Doo are, uh , were my favourites. About 30 years ago. But mum and dad didn't let me watch much TV actually.

So, are there any really "Bad" Badminton players here?

And any Bad players who have a 'Blad? That way, we could have "Bad with Blad" days out, oh yeah. The Blad outing this morning was way cool, thanks everyone.

[AA Institute]

Hi everyone,

I just joined the forum. I am an author with my first sci-fi/fantasy novel just released in the US. Is there some place where I can post a link to my book's synopsis and review... without breaching forum rules of course?

Thanks for any pointers. :)

AA

[Ninjahedge]

Try posting a bit first, getting to know the community, and then posting some information later.

Anything else will probably be seen as Ad Spammage and removed.....

[AA Institute]

Thanks for that tip... I'll learn to be a bit sneaky ... lol!

So what's hot in New York City these days? Is there any snowfall there as yet? Really love the snow, as we get so little of it here in southern England... :)

Well , for one the weather is hot, today warm and sunny, odd I think for this time of year.

I am looking forward to the cold brisk weather, and snow - lots of it. It will, I hope, be arringing soon.

Snow can be "sneeky" that way.

Tell us something specific about your special interests.

[cyppok]

Hello guys/girls I am new on the board. Been living in New York (brooklyn to be exact) since 10 or 11 I guess. Just finished school (Brooklyn College) looking for work more or less. Was hoping for asset/investment management but no connections alas nor is my resume or academic record stellar. Applied everywhere I could think off.

My little dream is having 8 or 10 blocks in manhattan with 4-6k residential units more or less lux appt buldings with retail on first 2-4 floors... (Slightly insane but hey who isn't).

Also I am a registered republican who thinks drugs should be legalized and was very happy when bush won :) . You can thank my socialist-communist professors. Althought I probably would have voted that way anyways.

[Ninjahedge]

/me confused.

[lofter1]

Ummmm, so, errrr, how many of those "8 or 10 blocks" have you acquired so far?

[Schadenfrau]

Cool. My little dream is to own the Brooklyn Bridge and hire a troll to collect a $5 toll from everyone who crosses.

I'm a Democrat who believes in legalized abortion, by the way.

[cyppok]

None I thought I said it was a dream or something? right...
I'm a broke student/ex-student thats more or less monopoly dreams...

I dont mind abortion my mom works in an abortion clinic. She votes
democrat for job security as well as other issues. I just dislike the way things
are presented at school and the tax thing. Basicly which nudges that you
should be taxed a little more for this and a little more for that and if you
dont agree your a stingy sob.

[coen]

Hi there,

First of all, i´ve have to excuse myself for my bad english.

My name is Coen. I live in The Netherlands, Europe.

I'm a 26 year old graphic designer (art academy) at a local firm that produces design lighting for office buildings, public buildings, and people with lots of money.
I design advertisements, brochures, products etc. etc.

It´s very nice here, it´s a nice country, nice people, nice bars and disco´s, nice goverment, nice laws etc. etc.

Nevertheless, I´m looking for some contact abroad. (outside europe)

Don't ask me why cause I don't know.

I'm just curious I guess. I've seen many parts of Europe in my life but have never been outside of Europe ever. (never flown in a commercial airplane, even)

I Got this crazy idea to come to New York some day. Together with my sister. Just a couple of days. Being a pure tourist.

I will come, only I've got to save some money first.

But at first I'd like some advice about visiting the US.
Movies here are showing mass of crime and victory in the us. Crime is high, 'living large' is high. From tv here in holland we get a very ' one-sided' image of the US. MTV, Oprah, ER, CSI, Bush, Spiderman, etc etc.

What I'm realy looking for is some kind of pen-friend from the US that can tell me about his/hers country, vision, interests etc. Some person who is interested in exchanging information about his/hers domestic escapades etc.

If you are such a person (serious) please mail me.

coenfransen@gmail.com

[BrooklynRider]

As a broke student/ex-student thats(sic) more or less [having] monopoly dreams, you're probably not paying enough taxes to justify opening your mouth to complain about them. Why not read the page in your Republican/Conservative Manifesto that calls for irresponsible free-loaders like you, who are doing nothing for our country and economy to take a position of responsibility. Or, perhaps you'd rather the Liberal/Democrat philosophy of cutting tuition, if not offering all-out free tuition to State Universities. Ah, nevermind, that kind of socialist-communist stuff wouldn't appeal to you. Unemployment and whining seem to fit you fine.

Pleasure to meet you. Welcome to the forum. ;)

[BrooklynRider]

You might want to start some dialogue here:

http://www.wirednewyork.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=38

[cyppok]

well me not paying taxes doesn't mean I am not affected by them. My parents pay em so I am affected. Also everyone is entitled to a voice even broke people like me. ( I do not think I was whining just stating facts as they are without one way or another feeling about them.)

[BrooklynRider]

You not paying taxes means someone else is most likely ponying up to make up your share. Isn't there a Walmart in your area hiring?

[MidtownGuy]

Happy Bush won? Either insane or ill-informed.

[lofter1]

... I am a registered republican who thinks drugs should be legalized and was very happy when bush won :) .
Wow ...

Could you fill me in on how those two things are related to each other?

And, just out of curiosity, can you list five things that Bush has achieved to make you "very happy"?

[NYatKNIGHT]

Despite his coke addiction, I thought Bush was anti-drug legalization. Maybe he has a redeeming quality after all.

[Ninjahedge]

So is this guy a flamer or an idiot.

Or maybe a flaming idiot. I really do not know......

[cyppok]

brooklynraider or rider
I am not complaining, I am merely stating my motivations for supporting Reps/Bush other then dems. I understand that only your opinion should count
and everyone who thinks otherwise is a fool or a retard.

I do not have to list 5 things he did. That is not why I voted for him.
I voted for him to prevent Kerry winning, and puting the shakles
of Canadian style health system at the expense of jacking up taxes all
around. Other things why, is basicly I think he is a more jovial person
whos not as angry when someone disagrees with him. Basicly I view Bush
as a happy go lucky guy who doesn't look down at people. While Kerry is
the exact opposite (In my view at least) those are my reasons.

And I don't think drugs being legalized will occur anytime soon no matter who gets elected.

[lofter1]

... I think he is a more jovial person whos not as angry when someone disagrees with him ... Basicly I view Bush as a happy go lucky guy who doesn't look down at people.
Jovial? Yep, laughing all the way to Armageddon ...

So what if your f***ing taxes aren't jacked up when the dimwit has elevated the deficit -- which will "shakle" this country for generations to come -- to historic and dangerous levels.

And for what?

His staunchest supporters are now -- finally -- labeling him a failure:

what can I say but sh#t happens :) and getting all up about it
doesn't change a thing. So just relax and wait for his term to end.
Only 2 years left heh. Hopefully he reformes social security and medicare/medicaid a bit more.

[lofter1]

"Well" ?? exactly ...

btw: he's done sh!t to change either social security or medical coverage in any meaningful or positive way that will benefit the American public.

just more examples of his failures.

"getting all up about it" (#$!?) is the only way to change anything.

And at least we know that historians will mark him for the utter imbecile and simple headed moron that he continually shows himself to be.

legacy: W = WORST EVER

[lofter1]

relax and wait for his term to end.
Only 2 years left heh.
Don't we wish. Unfortunately for the USA and the world we've got almost 3 years left -- he ain't out til Jan '09.

Mathematics: the ability to add, subtract, etc.

Not a bad subject to investigate, especially if you're going to set forth on taxes, social security, etc.

[cyppok]

Don't we wish. Unfortunately for the USA and the world we've got almost 3 years left -- he ain't out til Jan '07.

Mathematics: the ability to add, subtract, etc.

Not a bad subject to investigate, especially if you're going to set forth on taxes, social security, etc.

notice you wrote Jan 07... heh thats less than a year from now :cool: .
I guess you cant wait. Overall you are right 3 years till Jan 09 but
still less than that till the election.

P.S. dont take life too seriously generally things are always different from how we invision them. Also I think after Gore's speech in the emirates or saudi arabia more people felt like it was good that George got the job. At
least back then.

[lofter1]

Ouch -- hoisted on me own petard !

Though I wish we'd be free of the little shrub by '07, saying it's so don't make it true (but who knows what the future holds??).

I've edited to reflect the correct date ... thanks for pointing it out.

Side note: Back in the ice age -- when it came across the wires that Kruschev was out as the leader of the then-USSR -- the news announcement came over our school intercom system and my entire classroom exploded with cheers (being the well-indoctrinated Cold War kiddies that we were). However our very smart teacher (the great Mr. Finch) quickly quelled our glee by pointing out that the devil we know is often better than the devil we don't know...

[HersonalPelican]

Well what can I say. I'm from Glasgow, a shiny dollar if you can tell me which country thats in.

I was saddened and outraged and ****in livid when the 9/11 thing happened. and to any of you on here that may have had family in there, or a friend or a neighbour, or colleague or whatever our prayers were with from Scotland. Cardinal Winning(RIP) lead the way with his prayers and the special Mass he did.

I just want to ask, been talkin with friends here. What's the situation with one that hit the Pentagon? :confused: We're havin a game of cards here, but also deep conversation.

We see many programs about the bereaved familiesof victims, and also the heroics of the NYFD and NYPD.

Why do we never hear anything about the Pentagon victims or families?

What's going on? Don't these people deserve to be remembered too? And where were the wings of that plane anyway?

[lofter1]

Pentagon vicitims were mostly military -- folks who keep things to themselves (unlike us NYers).

Info on Pentagon Memorial HERE (http://memorial.pentagon.mil/)

[BrooklynRider]

Also, since there is wide speculation that the Pentagon was hit
by a missile or unmanned drone rather than a commercial aircraft, you would not have a lot of civilian family members pressing for a "public memorial." The silence surround that "attack" is at least interesting, if not disturbing.

See: www.reopen911.org

[Layla]

Hi im Layla just joined wired New York Forum Im from Liverpool love to chat to someone from New York.xxx:)

[BrooklynRider]

Well here you go.

You can now live happily ever after!

[Ninjahedge]

She's got you on your knees BR?

[Deimos]

Lol

[BrooklynRider]

I beggin' darlin please! Layla!

[Layla]

Hi Brooklyn Rider just got your message havnt looked on here for a while. Wow you answered me all the way from the U.S.A Im obsessed with America, never been, but hope to go to Florida next year, have you ever been to England?:)

[ablarc]

Hi Brooklyn Rider just got your message havnt looked on here for a while.
Definitely fickle. Or is it feckless?

Wow you answered me all the way from the U.S.A.
You expected maybe he would schlepp to Liverpool to answer?

I'm obsessed with America, never been...
Now that you've got your feet wet, stick around and chat for a while.

That is what you wanted, right?



* * *

Btw, trust me, Florida is the wrong place to go for a first visit.

.

[Layla]

Hey assehole, who are you calling fickle? What, jealous cause someone answered me? If you cant be nice then pee off. Are you there Brooklyn Rider?

[ablarc]

^ I shoulda used emoticons. :(

Didn't mean to seem mean, Layla. :)

There...is that better ;)

But you're right, BrooklynRider's a much better conversationalist. :D

[Layla]

Ok I will let you off seems how you appologized, but it did seem as though you were being nasty. I was glad someone had answered me from USA thats all and you had the cheek to call me fickle, you must of got out of bed the wrong side today.

[ablarc]

Thanks, and sorry I caused you grief, Layla.

Wouldn’t want to set you off again, but fickle’s not so bad, really:



fick•le adj.

characterized by erratic changeableness or instability, especially with regard to affections or attachments; capricious.

.

[ryan]

Hi Layla-

Florida is a great place the US because you'll get a taste of typical American culture (New York is a bit different from the rest of the country). Where in Florida are you going? What are your questions?

[ablarc]

Florida is a great place the US because you'll get a taste of typical American culture
Don't listen to him, Layla; he's only interested in luring you to a boring two weeks on the beach!! ;)

(New York is a bit different from the rest of the country).
Yeah, different...and better. :)

[MidtownGuy]

Hi Layla, welcome to the forum. I would definitely visit New York City first. Of course, I'm biased since I live here. But it really is a magnificent city.
In Florida just visit Miami and the Keys. Personally, I think South Beach is brilliant.

[ablarc]

In Florida just visit Miami and the Keys. Personally, I think South Beach is brilliant.
Exactly. Both those places are urban and have their own distinct culture --different from mainstream American suburban culture, which offers nothing of interest to a visitor. Go all the way to Key West, which is a place to be.

They both have beaches, but beaches you can get anywhere, including England.

Now the muscles you'll see on those Florida beaches: those you have to go to Florida for. Don't get confused: remember, that's Miami Beach, not Miami, which is humdrum. Two different places, physically close but worlds apart.

Forget Orlando. Canned thrills are no match for the real ones you'll find in Miami Beach and Key West.

.

[Layla]

To Albarc still dont know why you called me fickle you dont even know me. IM deffo going to Florida next year I have an Aunty whos lived there for the past three years. Im going to Dysney World, Bush Gardens etc its all booked now. My dream is to go to New York for four days. I wanna go to Tiffanys, The Empire State, The Statue of Liberty, the main ones really.;)

[ablarc]

To Albarc still dont know why you called me fickle you dont even know me.
Oh, that was just my lame attempt at making a humorous situation out of your asking a question and then not checking back for twelve days for an answer. Think nothing of it; I meant no harm, and since I don't know you: as you say, how could I possibly think you were fickle? My mistake, didn't mean to cause offense. :)

Btw, it's ablarc, but I won't take offense. ;)

Hi Layla-

Hi ryan to answer your question Im going to Dysney World in Florida next year and Bush Gardens. I have an Aunt and Uncle whove lived there for three years so Im going visiting them.:rolleyes:

[ryan]

If you have time I really liked seeing wild Manatees at Blue Springs State Park (http://www.floridastateparks.org/bluespring/default.cfm), but I think they're only there in March. If you have any questions, ask away. You can private message me if you don't want any more, uh, unsolicited feedback, from others.

[Bob]

Hi Layla

Welcome to New York Forum and this wild and wacky bunch of folks. This is an amazing forum...you can find something interesting on almost any topic.

One of these days I'll visit the U.K. For now, I have to be content with watching Prime Minister's Questions on my local C-SPAN channel. (Jolly good show, by the way.)

Greetings from the colonies...

[Layla]

To albarc ok Ill let you off I do tend to be a bit on the offensive side with people, my Mum says Ive a chip on my shoulder. Shes right, Im even being on the offensive on a chat room.:eek:

[ZippyTheChimp]

Albarc?

LOL

You might as well change it.

I've tried to understand what your forum is all about, but there is a lots of messages couldn't read them all.
is you forum open to anyone who would like to chat with you or is it just for new yorkers ?
I'm planing a trip to NY for the next summer 2007 (well I'm not late ! :p) and I hope I'll learn a lot with you about your city.

There were some other little errors here and there, but the bits I put in there are just a suggestion to help your english flow a little better.

No, this is not just for NYers, anybody is allowed, really. Just look at some of the peoples name tags on the top right corner of their bar when they post things. We have people hailing from Tuscany, Britain and other towns and countries besides NY and the USA.

Read around a bit and you will get the feeling of what each area is like. I would recommend that you check out the "Questions" sub-area up top and the "New York for visitors" to start with, but you can go anywhere you want!

Hope you like it here, and hope you can get the information you need for your visit!

[Zerlina]

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
As you can see I'm not a newyorker... I'm italian and i live in Italy... but I've been in New York in october 2004 and I fell in love with it! I'm sure I'll back (sooner or later... but I would prefer sooner:p )!
Enjoy this forum... there are a lot of things to discover here!:)

Hi guys !

Thanks for the replies (and all the corrections ninahedje)

And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.

Yeah, I don´t know if i will post much, but I´m sure that I will read much, and so I think it would be good if envisage myself.
My name is Matthias and I´m from a small town in Germany ---> Northrhine-Westphalia ---> Ruhr-Area. The name of the city is Herten and there are about 65.000 inhabitants...gigantic, I know. ;)
My hobbies are videogames, watching movies, listening to music , reading books, meeting friends, sports...and of course I´m a big fan of NYC.
I love the whole USA, but i like NYC the most, although I´ve never been there. :/
I hope that I will have the money to visit this great city when start my professional studies in september.
After reading so many books (with big pictures! :D) guide books about New York City i need to visit it, I AM SO HOT!!! :eek: :D

If you have any questions, just aks me, maybe I will anser you. ;)
Mh, I hope that someone will read and anser, so I can say I 'know' somebody from New York, hehe. *g*

[lofter1]

New York City i need to visit it, I AM SO HOT!!! :eek: :D

Welcome aboard, Laharl :cool:

Do you have any pictures of your hometown? Small things like the butcher or the place you go to swim or where you go to get away ... normal things. Of course, if you have castles or palaces nearby we always like to see those, too ;)

Methinks one day you will get to visit NYC ........

[Laharl]

At first: A big sorry for all the spelling mistakes. I would like to type as fast as in a German board, and then mistakes like missing words or 'anser' happen...my English is soooo bad... *g*

Ok, here you can find some pictures of my homecity, but of course they only show the nice places like the park with the castle or the village with the old houses. But believe me, there are many ugly places. *g*

http://www.herten.de/stadtinfo/sehenswert/index.htm


Mh, here are some more pictures of Herten:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herten


Maybe I can take some photos of my city, after completing school I have much time til 9/1.^^ (<--- in Europe/Germany its different, the first of September isn´t 9/1, but 1/9. I hope that iI will not disorganice any dates...)
But don´t expect too much, Herten is a small, minor city. But hey, we have the talles sun dial in Europe!! :D

No worries about the debates. I'm used to them (I like to debate). :) And I know not everyone will agree with me (even though I'm always right...Haha!).

And I noticed all the men. Woohoo! :p The other forums I frequent are like, 90% women. So this is a nice change. Most of my friends are guys. :) But I plan to stay around. I have tons of questions about whether or not NYC is right for me. But I want to read the sticky thread about that first before asking. I only have like, 50 pages of it to go. Haha.

My first time ever being in New York City,was in October of 1992.And I wasn't disappointed.My group of friends I went with stayed at the Leo House on Ninth Avenue in Manhatten.Though we mostly stayed in Manhatten,we rode the subway trains a lot.One day we took a subway to the Bronx Zoo.I love how the roads of Manhatten glitter.We even went to the top of the Empire State Building.Occasionally I saw brownstone buildings that looked remarkabley like Sesame Street.But that's not surprising seeing as Sesame Street is made in New York.About my only complaint was how crazy the cab drivers drive.

I would love to actually see the other boroughs of New York,Queens,Brooklyn and Staten Island,someday.

i'm 5'11'', dark hair, blue eyes, slim.
other: like travel, history, music, movies (i've got a big DVD collection), photography, and i've traced my family history back to 1600 (very proud of that!)
