I know, i said i would post some pictures from San Jose, but i think i'll wait until i find some time for the next machinimag issue to revisit those photos. In the meantime, i thought i'd post some lovely views of toronto...
Because it just so happened that the very last half day on my trip was lovely and warm and i had some time to walk to the water and around town.
After all, that kind of peaced out my rather rough toronto experience - starting with a secondlife tradeshow panel and almost ending with food-poisoning.
On my way back to La Guardia airport, we flew parallell to manhattan with a breathtaking view over the city, but i was too lazy to grab my camera. So when i did, most of the great stuff already passed us...
So, after arrivingback "home" i had to find myself another place to stay. Big shouts to Rik, Paul and Mole to provide for the one night right after my arriving.
I was extremely lucky to have two appointments to see appartements the same day i came in from Toronto, so without frther ado, i took the subway to the upper west side to see an unfurnished, small but cozy room (for a little over a grand/month). And just right after that one, went to see a room in a 6 bedroom appartement in Williamsburg, right next to the east river and williamsburg bridge.
Both of them would have loved to have me move in (guess what...lucky me) and i decided to go for the williamsburg spot - it was cheaper.
After arriving back home at my shelter at Rik's, i immediately fell asleep on the sofa and moved the next day.
The appartement is inhabitet by 6 people, a cat and a dog, all of them very very nice. If only the weather wouldn't be SO April, i'd have a really good time.
But anyways, kindof leaves me more reasons to stay inside and get some work done...
And that can feel good too. Plus, it's so much, i could lock myself in for the next year or so.
Would someone come bring me food?
