📍 Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA
Yesterday
was moving day. The room where I stayed for the past two weeks was going under
construction so I couldn't stay there anymore. But that turned out to be a very
good thing, because my new apartment is way better!
A few days
ago I asked the guy who rents the apartment to me - Ola is his name - if I
could stay there until the end of October. I had rented the place for only 14
days, because then I could always change places in case it would be a gross,
disgusting, haunted house with fungus dripping of the walls etc. Well, the room
turned out to be fine - for only €18 you have to be okay with the fact that
there isn’t much luxury and that you have to share a bathroom with people with
whom you rather not even share a conversation with.
Ola said
that I could move into another apartment of his for the same price. Which is
insanely cheap if you look at the place! And the timing was actually perfect
because the mice situation got worse. On my last day there I saw one crawling -
not only on the ground - but on the table as well. And that means that they can
get everywhere. Even in your bed. So I needed to get out of that place.
The new place is in the same neighborhood, only five minutes away from the old apartment. It has a kitchen, two bathrooms, a bigger bedroom and is filled with very nice people instead of mice. (The picture shown above is a snapshot of our living room. Pretty fancy, am I right?). I don’t know exactly how many people there are, because every time that I’m in the house I see new faces. But I guess around 16. The people who I’ve met so far were like-minded people, also traveling and around my age. Last night everyone was just hanging around in the kitchen, cooking food for each other and sharing their stories. The vibe is really nice. Happy to call this place my home for the next two weeks.

I've visited the MET today. Really proud of myself that I've been to a museum voluntarily. I'm such a grown-up right now. Did I liked it? Some parts, yes. For example, the architecture of the place is amazing. And I liked the rooftop with the view of the skyline. And some pieces in the museum of course. It was also kind of fascinating to watch other people like me - people who don't have a clue what's going on because it rarely happens that they set foot in a museum - looking with the biggest scowl to the most uninteresting stuff like little clay pots, just trying to look smart and sophisticated. Well, fake it until you make it.
