The semester is finally complete and I am back to life!
It is simply the best feeling in the world.
I am currently residing in New York with my family, specifically Brooklyn. I love this city!
Everything about it. I was running an errand with my cousin in the city yesterday which gave me some time to do some "people watching" while he was doing whatever it was that he needed to get done. I found the nearest Starbucks (more like sniffed it out), took a little stroll down the street before finally plopping down on a bench outside of Baruch College. I will admit that I did feel bad for the students who were frantically flipping through their textbooks looking anxious before their exams, but at the same time it was pretty interesting to observe. A whole big mixture of students, tourists and New Yorkers, going about their own lives, completely oblivious to the weird stranger me observing them. There was also that amazing aroma in the air coming from those food carts cooking up chicken and kebob that make you feel hungry even though you know that you are 120% NOT hungry... delicious.
As soon as I finished my cappuccino I got down to reading the new book I just ordered to my handy Kindle. Honestly, these devices are the best things for travellers! I am constantly pleasantly pleased with how convenient they are. Anyways, the book I am completely absorbed in at the moment is Jon Ronson's The Psychopath Test. One of the coolest reads I have encountered in a while. Actually, that's not totally fair to say because I have read some really fascinating novels lately but never one on this subject. Jon Ronson is a journalist. He's also the author of the best seller novel The Men That Stare at Goats. This book however, is more or less a collection of stories that flow into one another revolving around him interviewing infamous serial killers, criminals, political and business figures to determine whether or not they show signs of phsycopathy. I love books based on real events . They have that added benefit of teaching you something while telling the story. I highly doubt I'll be doing much cooking or baking out here but, I will be sure to keep you posted on the places I visit and the things I do (given that they are worth sharing). Hope everything is going great with you guys on the other side....of the screen... you know what I mean (hopefully).
Anyways, time to celebrate Hanukkah!!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
Lots of LOVE
Ps. Look at these amazing photos I dug up from Tumblr of Toronto. Can't complain!!
