So. Facts re: emigration to NYC:

• I'm young, I'm fairly presentable, I'm adaptable, I'm bilingual, I have a European high school diploma. I have a good chance of finding a decent job.
• It is quite possibly cheaper to have my stuff shipped over there, so I don't have to worry about buying furniture. (Will, however, need new tv and video. But that's okay.)
• While living inside the city is expensive, the suburbs are supposedly not that expensive. It's not like I've not been commuting all my life anyway.
• If worst comes to worst, there are a number of people in/near NYC I could crash with.
• I will need to contact the US embassy this week to find out how soon I would be able to get a visa.
• I will need to cut down on all expenses and save money. Lots.
• I am quite possibly insane. AUGUST?

Heh. Hem. Hum. You don't know my biking habits. Put it this way: there's a reason I don't use my bike unless I have to be somewhere far, fast, or with a heavy load. I'm a danger to the public.

I'm sure I'll fit in fine. ^_^

Ahahahaha! Bike lanes? In Antwerp? Surely thou jesteth. No, I'm afraid most actual cities here don't believe in bike lanes, either.

I know there are bike lanes in some cities in Holland and I know there are bike lanes in some cities in Germany. I only assumed there would be in Belgium too but I guess I'm wrong. I always think of Europe as so much more logical in some ways than the US.

I think you and your bike will fit in fine in NYC too.

Well, Holland is notoriously well-adapted to bikes. Unfortunately, Belgium is not. ^_^
