January 26-28: Long weekend!!!

This weekend my parents, sister & girlfriend came over to New York. For Anouck this was the first visit to New York and this meant of course visiting most of the famous NY attractions: the statue of liberty, Ellis Island (which is by the way a little more than just ‘some packed luggage boxes’ as Wouter describes it J ), MoMA, Times Square, Fifth Avenue & Central Park. Of course, no visit to New York would be complete without having visited BXL, so we managed to force this into our schedule on Sunday Evening.

On top of that, we experienced the coldest temperatures in New York in the last 2 years (approximately -15 degrees Celsius) so the frostbite was again not so far away… All in all, it was very nice to have all of them here & the time went by way too fast as usual...

Looking at that, today I’ve entered the last 2 months of my New York transfer, and it certainly doesn’t seem like I’ve already been here for 3.5 months…
