State of the Union

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?

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. ^_^
