New York, New York, by Frank Sinatra:

Our Dutch friend, Anke, threw a birthday party at her place, in Brooklyn. Laura and Lauren missed the party, but Judith was there, Braedan as well, together with many other people from the New School, most of them international students: Phillip from Germany, Miquel, from Spain, Alexandra, from Ukraine, Florencia, from Costa Rica, etc… We had a lot of fun!

oxox, hahahaha!

Anke, Florencia, Alexandra and me

Haha, I’m kidding… Actually, no, that’s true! I though the Museum of Modern Art would be a more interesting place…

The MoMA is not as good as the Met, but if it’s a Friday, the MoMA is free, the take a look, haha!

Blah Blah Blah, bu Blah

Balh Blah's

American flag - SO ORIGINAL!

And if you speak Portuguese like me, you will never understand how some place can be a museum and called modern at the same time…

Oh, they had Salvador Dali:

Ugly Betty's sign

I got crazy!
I came back to that place other 3 or 4 times during that same day, I luckily I was able to see the Ugly Betty crew shooting a scene (the aired on November 27th, the seventh episode of the fourth season)!

Betty (America Ferrera), Amanda (Becki Newton) and Clair (Judith Light)

Sooner, that same day, I got a chance to talk to Daniel Eric Gold (Matt, Betty’s and Amanda’s love interest)! He is such a nice person!

I remember I visited many different places in the end of September, in New York, mainly midtown and downtown.

Lower East Side with Eugenie, Arthur, David, Alexei and Tomoya!

But September was the month in which I walked around by myself, to get to know different neighborhoods, as Soho, Tribeca and the Battery Park City.

One of these bar is located in a boat, in one of the Chelsea piers, with a very cool view of the Hudson River and New Jersey. I went there with my French friends, Eugenie, Arthur, David, and my Dutch friends Laura, Lauren and Judith.

Some days after that, we went to Brooklyn, and when it comes to night life, Williamsburg is a place that deserves attention. One of the nicest locations for people to get together in Brooklyn! And who was there? Eugenie, Arthur, Benjamin, Hanae, Tomoya, Ben and his friends.

Arthur and Hanae

Also in September, I got together with my Dutch friends again – Laura, Judith and Anke, and with the New Zealander Braedan. We visited a very charming and comfortable Belgium bar at the Village, close to Washington Square Park.

But this is how it works, I’m in New York, and my mind can’t keep up with so many things!

A song about New York… I don’t know why, but I can hear it everywhere!

I’ve being to a very nice French Bistro with my French friends, of course, Eugenie, Arthur and David, besides Tomoya, Alexei, Paula, Sophie (German friend of Paula) and Benjamin (French guy, not my roommate). It was a very cool night, we walked a lot looking for a place where everyone could enter!

I also went to Central Park at night, in September, with Alex and Karina, our friend from Australia! I was attacked by dogs, but I survived, haha!

Well, I’ve been in Coney Island again, during the week – desert and scary! And I’ve being walking around Manhattan! I also spend some night in the Uhall, with my roommates! Tomoya is so funny, sometimes, haha!

I know, Taylor Swift won`t forget it either! Hahaha! It was great, Ben, Marina (another Brazilian at NYU), Lauren (not the Dutch), Jake and Sam (not the one from Uhall) and I wen to the Radio City Music Hall, and we saw Taylor singing on the midle of the street! =D

Then we went to Times Square! =)

See the videos:

I’m so popular on You Tube, now! =P

Sorry, I have been busy!

People, that’s New York, you have to understand I don’t have time to be here, posting, the world is waiting for me outside! Hahahaha! Seriously, this is the best place in the world, I’m living the time of my life, and time goes by do fast!

What I did during September??

I’ve been studying Horror, Sci-fi and Difference, and Celebrity Culture with my friends Eugenie (from France) and Lauren (from the Netherlands), and Queer Cinema with Fey (from China).

I’ve met many international people! We had a very busy orientation week, after that we had an international lunch, where I met Alexei (from Ukraine), Lura (Kosovo), Johanna (Sweden), Nadine (Germany), Jose (Chile), besides Eugenie and her lovely French friends, Arthur and David!

Alexei, Eugenie and David

The life at Uhall is pretty nice and comfortable as well! Neighbors Olivia and Julia are very nice, and we have a great RA: Binata! Did I tell you that my neighbors love me?

My roommates, Alex, Tomoya and Ben are great, I love them, although sometimes we have to solve some cultural differences! We went to the top of the Rockfeller Center in September. We also went to the Brazilian Day in New York, together with Jenny, Blair and Laura, our friend from the Netherlands (also friend of Lauren’s)!

Alex, me, Ben and Tomoya

Of course we’ve talked a lot to Sam, her roommate Erin, from Hawaii, and Isabel, as well, because she is always at Jenny’s, and we went to visit Jenny a couple of times, and we found her roommate, also called Jenny, and Tina, Blair, Sean, his brother Tim, and Andy, Mike, Colin, Matt, Julia, and Rogier the last time!

We have been to Chelsea, at Laura’s place, where we met her Dutch friend Anke. We also went to the Lower East Side, to visit Eugenie and Arthur, of course, other French people were there – David, for example! It’s a very nice place!

Leaving Eugenie's place - me, Korean guy, Ben, Alex, Laura and Tomoya

Well, that was the beginning of my days in New York and at NYU!

Next post I’ll give more details about the end of September – the beginning of Autumn!

See you!
