relativity of wedding menu

I am sitting in my super little apartment. 

It is an unusually hot summer night here in Denmark. 

Lucky year, we have so much sun that it is hard to believe. 

I love it, because I rather sweat than freeze.

Anyway, I am trying to compose a menu for my wedding, that might happen one day... 

I mean it is going to happen but in a year (!) so I feel a bit crazy to go into such details...

However, I want to book a place soon. 

Prices are highly depended on menu so to estimate a cost of the wedding party I unfortunately need to go through this abstract task of trying to foresee what I would like to have for dinner in a year from now...

I have started my mission impossible with great enthusiasm and believe that it is a piece of cake.

Well, I was wrong...

I am already sitting for few hours and I am not done...

You see on the beginning of the process I was very critical towards potential wedding dishes.

But there were so many options... so many of them... that I started to suspect that the names of dishes are randomly picked just to confuse me.

First I became tired, and that slowed my decision abilities.

But eventually happened the worst, yes yes - I became hungry.

One by one I have began adding things to my list that I do not even know what they really are...

Luckily a blessed brilliant thought came to my mind: 

'better go to bed before hot dogs end as a main course'

- Good night :)

Central Park

New York is an amazing city. 

There is so much to see, so much to experience. 

This was my third visit in the City, and I still know nothing about it - I need to go there again! ;)

The first time I was lucky to see New York in winter time just before Christmas with all the lights and decorations.

And this time I was lucky to be there during Easter time (rockefeller-easter-eggs-exhibit) when most of the people had few days off and wore beautiful decorative Easter hats to show off during holiday parade.

I got my lunch at one of the street stands called the Halal Guys - cheap and delicious food - nicely spiced meat and rice. The Halal Guys are actually acclaimed best street food in NYC and they might be... I definitely recommend it.

I went few streets up and sat down on a warm from sunlight stone.

Central park was a perfect place to enjoy my meal. 
Beautiful view on Manhattan and fantastic spring weather..

After food and small rest I took a long, slow stroll through the park.

The Central Park is wonderful oasis of peace in this noisy crazy city. 

During holiday it is teeming with life, joy, friendship and family atmosphere. 

I am looking forward to take a stroll there again.

Rockefeller Easter eggs exhibit

Rockefeller Center is filled with flags surrounding small ice-rink, and it is very beautiful.

It is mostly known to me for its Christmas Tree in movie "Home Alone". I saw this Christmas tree 2 years ago and it was disappointingly smaller than I have imagined it to be... or maybe it was bigger years back ?

Anyway, I actually had the same disappointment with all the Christmas trees I remembered from my childhood ;)

During Easter Break 2014 New York's Rockefeller Center showcased massive eggs.

I was very lucky to be there at that time and see it! :)

Arriving to USA

It was long trip... I had to leave my apartment around 11 to take a bus to the train station. Got tickets and had to wait 40min. Vagon at with I had seat reservation never arrived so I had to find another place. Train was filled with people but it was a pleasant trip. Weather was beautiful! Sunny day made views from windows very entertaining. 

My first flight was to London. Heathrow is a huge airport and even there was an hour and 20 min between flights I had be in a hurry. Long walking distances and also necessity of taking an airport train consumed a lot of time and once I reached the gate the plane was already boarding.

I was sitting next to my mom who I gave a window seat, since it was her first time flying to USA. It was great to sit next to her because she really enjoyed everything! It reminded me of myself first time in plane. Weather was great so until we got to Atlantic sea there was a lot to look at. It is very cool to look how temperature drops with altitude and once a plane reaches the height proper for a flight like this, you realize you fly with 500km/h 12000 meters above the sea and temperature behind the window is -49C... And you can see that the path is smoothly curved which make sence because our planet is a sphere not flat...! Small things that one learn in primary school but they always great once realized in practice :)

 I was flying first time to USA with British airlines and I have to say that plane was neat and tv screens were quite good, nice choice of new movies and actually microwaved food they always served at planes was nice enough which is not always a case on other airlines. Sandwiches they served were also good. All in all it was pleasant flight.

Customs service went very smooth. We took a taxi to our hotel on Manhattan - taxi driver was a nice guy but it was a very expensive ride.

We arrived at 11pm but remember there is 6 hour difference. The moment we got to our hotel from theater on the other side if the street we heard happy people screaming and it occurred that Danzel Washington just finished a show and was giving autographs :)) we haven't seen him though but still fun to realized that we are in New York the city that never sleeps and Hollywood stars are part of theater plays :))

We left luggage in our room, got free breakfast and free wifi too, because we got smaller room than we agreed on... And we gonna get proper one on Sunday :)

And then we went out to see Time Square lights ... And see this kitch and crazy huge commercials all over the place. It was midnight and streets were crowded... It is my third time in New York and I am always surprised how crowed it is and dirty too unfortunately. But it is a city that never sleeps mist of shops were open. 

After a short stroll we went back to hotel and slept very well :))

Good morning on Sunday! Good morning New York!

Sorry for all the typos but I am writing from my phone ;)

Thesis writing - sanity status

I was writing and writing and I got trapped...

My life, the real and beautiful world is just behind those thin walls around me, as thin as a cover of a comic Book but so impossible to get through them...

...life is so unrealistic and time passes in a mysterious way...

Even if I somehow manage to teleport myself to the real world I seem to not fit in... 

Because of isolation my social skills seem outdated and almost everything I say seem awkward and inappropriate...

I find myself standing there saying something to people and hearing myself making meaningless burr of aaa yyyy ooo uuu

Amount of coffee and chocolate (and I am actually allergic to chocolate) I eat is difficult to comprehend and I strongly believe my skin has changed color to a bit more chocolatish or lets admit it to a boring grayish shade.

And all those crazy sick things I dream... I could write a Sci-Fi book if I only remembered them longer than those few seconds after waking up.

Basically the moment my brain creates a thought that it was a crazy dream my memory about it is gone or back to apparently some part of my brain that for reasons probably of sanity I am not allowed to access unless I sleep.

Anyway... I have one more month of this craziness :)

Train stories

I am going for weekend to Copenhagen hanging out with my fiance's sister family. I haven't paid for seat but I was lucky to find what one can call a 'third class' seat by the entrance to train that cannot be reserved and are for saving money people like me ;) 

I have decided to write something because I have lost wifi connection once the train entered the tunnel connecting Funen (Fyn) and Zealand (Seeland) islands.

Next to me on a floor was sitting man with a daughter they easily could have found a seat there were two free next to me but they didn't care. Man was still on his working clothes dirty with mud I think. They made small picnic and he was showing a lot of love to his maybe 5 years old girl. And she didn't care they sit on the floor and that they eat some silly food set on a paper on a floor. Kids do not care about details they care about time spend with them love and attention.

A bag of candy with dad or mum that jokes a lot is all they need to call the trip an amazing time.

I love traveling :)

And here is my connection back, let's post this ...

getting ready for Valentine's date - part 4 (last one)

Unfortunately, my fiance is having a small cold so I am gonna jump in some cosy clothes instead and go to a movie theater...

Just before doing that I took off my curlers, my hair was still wet...

Instead of desired princess curls I ended up with "witch like hairstyle"...

Yes
my whole day project "get curls for Valentine's date" outcome
->
dirty and messy looking hair ;)

Lots of LOVE everyone!
