New York City here I come again!
Let me first write a couple of words in English...I had a really nice weekend! It started with roller skating evening on Friday night and Saturday I went with 4 other people to the City. Weather was just perfect - a beautiful sunny day and it wasn't even that cold. We visited 3 diiferent chocolate stores...ahhhh...Most of those places sell chocolates for like $60 for a pound (500g) and they're definitely not like the ones you see in regular grocerie stores. The flavors added to chocolate are for ex. sweet paprika, balsamic vinegar, curry, all kinds of herbs, candied flowers, ginger, also a combination of cheese and chocolate...I didn't try it, next time! Always a nice thing to do :)
And since we were with the car, it was pretty cool driving in the middle of NYC. That's also a part of the experience, because that city is absolutuely crazy. The most important part of the trip and actually the purpose of it was meeting my childhood friend Doris who is also here in the US, in the city of Bridgeport which is almost as far as Hyde Park. She brought a friend with her, Marina, who is also from Split and you have no idea how happy I was; Talking to MY people, my hometown girls! That was just...ah, no words to describe it...
We came back to campus around 9:30 pm, safe and sound and I was so tired...Oh Gosh, I totally forgot to mention I've been to another cheese store! Wow! I bought a great pecorino tartufello pinzani ( I loooove truffles!!) and a spanish one called Idiazabal which was slightly smoked, you couldn't even tell. The pecorino is more creamier and the spanish one has a texture more like parmigiano reggiano. Ah, good ol' cheeses...
Today was a pretty relaxing day. I did my laundry, talked to my parents, did the homework, cleaned the room...You know, usual Sunday stuff..Tonight are the Oscars and frankly, I'm not so interested as I used to be, but what it is cool is that it's at 7pm tonight and I remember before when I used to watch it back home I'd wake up at like 2-3 in the morning because of the time difference..he, he..
Well, gotta go write something in Croatian now!! ;) Check out the pics!
Da, mnogi ste vjerojatno pročitali i na engleski, ali tekst je skoro isti. He he...
Vikend mi je stvarno bio fantastičan. Počevši od petka navečer kada smo se ponovo išli rolat (mislim da ću sljedeći put razmislit prije nego što odem, jer kao što mi je tata rekao, nemam zdravstvenog osiguranja pa nebi bilo loše pripazit..) i naravno opet sam ''ljosla'', ali nije bila moja krivica! Nije da se izvlačim, ali Steve me povukao za ruku i dao mi poprilično ubrzanje i naravno, izgubila sam kontrolu, i puf! Nije baš fini osjećaj...
Sutradan ujutro, tj. u subotu ujutro smo Stacey, Rich, Lorenzo, Gianna i ja išli u New York. Imala sam malih poteškoća prije nego što smo išli...nisam nikako mogla probudit Stacey...morala sam posudit Kristinin mobitel i nazvat je..ah...Dan nam je bio kao stvoren; sunčano i uopće ne tako hladno. Obišli smo 3 različita dućana (dva su bila downtown i jedan uptown) s čokoladom. Ali to su ono prvoklasne stvari. Arome čokolada su skroz neobične i nesvakidašnje, tj. kombinacije su ono wow!! Kao đumbir, razne trave, slatka crvena paprika, zeleni čaj, curry, kandirano cvijeće, aceto balsamico, čak neke vrste soli (?!) a također i kombinacije čokolade sa par različitih vrsta sira...hm...nisam probala, sljedeći put sigurno!
Posjetili smo i još jedan dućan sa sirom...sir!!! Obožavam sir. Kupila sam pecorino tartufello s obzirom da jako volim tartufe i još jedan španjolski, Idiazabal koji je sličan Parmezanu, jako dobar isto...Taj dućan se zove Murray's i osim sira, prodaju isto čokoladu i kruh (kupila sam jedan fantastičan kruh od cjelovitog brašna s milijun vrsta sjemenki! Definitivno jedan od najboljih do sada) i također drže satove tj. kao kurseve o siru.
Vrhunac dana, a i razlog mog puta u NYC, je bila Doris! Za vas koji ne znate, to je moja prija još iz djetinstva, plivačica, koja sada studira u Bridgeportu (otprilike sat ipo udaljena od mene!) i napokon smo se uspjele vidit! Dovela je sa sobom prijateljicu Marinu, koja je isto iz Splita, super cura!! Možete mislit što je to bilo kada smo se mi ''razvezale''! Nema meni do mojih Splićana...Kako sam uživala, nemate pojma...Morat ćemo se češće viđat s obzirom da smo tako blizu! Mogu mislit kako je mom Američkom dijelu ekipe bilo nas interesantno slušat, he he...
Pred kraj dana smo otišli skupa na večeru, ispričali se, i onda se svak otišao svojim putem...
Na campus smo stigli oko 9 ipo navečer, i moram priznat da sam bila baš umorna. Krevet mi je bio najbolji prijatelj, i prije nego što sam utonula u san, razmišljala sam kako smo mi različiti. Ali svarno različiti. Europa i Amerika su kao nebo i zemlja, vjerujte mi.
