hard to bellieve... but back in NY

I got back to NY yesterday night... and what a strange feeling this is! The taxi driver who was driving me home was Indian so, when I closed my eyes, I felt for a moment I was in Calcutta. When we stopped at the intersection a car passed us by playing loud Spanish disco music and, close my eyes, I had a feeling I was in Mexico City... This is truly NY - everything together. For a while I felt that I didn't leave NY at all - that my trip was just a one big hologram. When I got to Madrid I felt I was going home after a very long long trip. When I got to NY I felt I never left it... How the mind plays with me... Buba who sublets my apartment went to work (his wife Benia and daughter Gabrysia are in Poland on vacation) and I am sitting at his computer, feeling happy already to be here. I will have breakfast at the Uruguayan Cafe Nueva to see if the old owners are still there and then I will take a stroll to say hi to all little stores in my neighborhood.

My plan in NY is such: I want to visit the schools of Chinese medicine to see if I like any of them more than the one I saw in Spain. If so, I will stay here and enroll and study, work and live here for a while and if not, I will go back to Barcelona. In any case I will have access to internet and will write more on the blog and individual e-mails.

I am sending hugs and kisses to all my wonderful friends everywhere, in all corners of the world. Happiness fills my being and I am sending you vibes with this feeling!
