New York

Min ferie i USA er jo ikke i forbindelse med nogen form for ferie for Frikkerne, men til gengæld er det så luksus at jeg kan få lov at bruge en hel dag med hvert enkelt medlem af familien fordi de holder en dag fri hver især. 

Onsdag holdt min søster fri, og så tog vi til New York! Det er relativt nemt - man kan tage toget fra Hamilton station som ligger knap en times kørsel fra deres hjem og så er man pludselig midt i byen. 

Vi startede med frokost på en Dim Sum restaurant. SÅ godt!

My vacation in the US is not in connection with any kind of vacation for the Frikke circus, but I actually get to spend luxurious time with them - an entire day with every member of the family, because they take a day off each of them. On Wednesday, my sister took a day off, and then we went to New York! It's kind of easy - there is a train from Hamilton station, which is about an hours ride from their home, taking us to the center of town. 

We started by having lunch on a Dim Sum restaurant. SO delicious!

Vi skulle ind og se musical og kom derfor lige forbi Times Square som var knap så fyldt som normalt. Det var dejligt at komme til New York når det ikke var super varmt og der ikke var helt fyldt med mennesker. 

We were going to see a musical and happened to pass by Times Square, which was less crowded than normal. It was lovely going to New York when it wasn't super warm or super crowded.  

Vi skulle se "Bad Cinderella" - en ny oplevelse for os begge! Vi undrede os over at der var VIRKELIG mange skoleelever, specielt da de alle kom fra gaden ind på teateret. Det viste sig at nogle (formentlig rige) mennesker havde bestemt at give teaterbilletter til skoleelever i New York lige denne dag, så vi endte med at sidde der med en hel masse teenagere. De fleste afroamerikanere eller latinoer. 

Det blev SÅ GODT!!!!! I starten var de lidt uinteresserede, men pludselig sad de på kanten af sæderne og endte med at skrige og klappe til sidst som om det var en koncert. Det var virkelig noget af en oplevelse af de helt gode! 

Så tak, Henriette, for en virkelig dejlig dag!

We were watching "Bad Cinderella", which was new to both of us. We were puzzled about SO MANY students in the streets, and especially when they came into the theater. It turned out that some (very rich, I guess) people had decided to give theater tickets to students in New York City this very day, so we ended up being there with a lot of teenagers. Most of them afro-americans or latinoes. 

It was SO MUCH FUN!!!! In the beginning, they weren't too interested, but suddenly they were sitting on the edges of their seets and ended up screaming and clapping like it was a concert. I never experienced anything like it. It was great!

So, thank you, Henriette, for a truly wonderful day!
