Leg one of my journey is complete. I made it safely into my friend Chris's Brooklyn apartment at midnight. The flights were fine except that my luggage was "delayed" -- ie. the airline didn't put it on the plane. So they're supposed to drop it off in a few hours. I'm happy to have my luggage back but I'm pissed because I can't go carousing around New York as I had planned and am stuck in a Brooklyn apartment. Rats. Oh well. At least I'll be able to fly home with my luggage. Whether it gets to Ethiopia is a different story.
In other news - it's freezing cold in New York and this serves as a reminder as to why I left. But the lights of the city as I was flying in were so beautiful that it made me nostalgic. In Detroit I got hit on with the funniest pickup line. I was inquiring to some random guy about the status of our flight, which was delayed, when he said to me, "So, are you a swimsuit model or something?" I laughed and said, "So, are you on crack?" And then he made references to my "mmmmmm, delicious booty" and asked me provocatively where the bathroom was. Like I was supposed to go with him. It was humorous, to say the least. But also more than slightly sketchy. Anywho.
I've got lots of plans for the afternoon... if my luggage ever gets here... including ice skating and going to get bubble tea from Taipan bakery on Canal st. I also want to go to Rockerfeller Center and eat Chinese food in China Town. We'll see how much I can get accomplished.
I'm glad I came to see Chris. It's nice to get to hang out with him.

Yea, but its not just any apartment in Brooklyn. Take a deep breath. That scent? Its called 'Sexy,' and I just can't get it out of my bedroom.
Also, I think the best pickup line of the night goes to the creepy guy on the subway that wanted to trade iPods with the pretty girl.
yay! you're in NY! that's great :)
when are you leaving for home? For some reason it seems as though you loose your luggage a lot ... I don't know why!
tata!
