New York Je t'aime


What a fairy tale trip it was to new York. From the day I have landed in US I have longed to visit NY. Somehow it never happened. The closest I came was when I was in JFK Airport for few hours on my transit from London to LA. But the wait was finally over last week. How it happened is an amazing story in itself.
So last week I had an enormous Cummunication Breakdown. My Macbook Graphics card died(hence no monitor), within minutes my jailbroken iphone froze. And my Desktop PC has been a infested by Trojan Viruses for weeks now. We I went to Apple store to get it fixed. I took Sarah along as we wanted to watch A Serious Man after we were done at Apple. While I was at the Genius Bar, Sarah found 150$ return tickets on Orbitz. It was on dates that I could not go. But such a deal is hard to pass. So Sarah bought her tickets to NYC in the apple store. On my way home I kept changing my mind about going to NYC to be with her. We had always wanted to go to NY together & it was the closest we have come. I finally decided to not go. It was quite depressing. I went to work & she went to a Pumpkin carving party at her friends house.
At the party she met Janie, who was move by our story. She immediately used her rapid rewards with Southwest to buy me a ticket to NY for the dates I could make it. In her kind words "You guys are yound & in love, He has never been to NY, Its a very romantic time of the year to be there"
God bless her. If Los Angeles was really a city of angels, she definitely is one of them.

And I loved New York. I wish I had moved to NY instead of LA. I miss Subways. It was so good to not need a car. Loved East Village.
