First expedition to the Big Apple

You always remember the first one, they say. It's true also for the first night view of the chaotic 8th Avenue in New York. Lights, lights, millions of lights over a flow of frenetic yellow cabs and snakes of humans along the sidewalks. The big adventure started as a printed electronic ticket delivered in a FedEx envelope. Rammstein. Their first and only concert in the States after 10 years. The tickets were sold out in 30 minutes. But there it was, my birthday present from K. Just a couple of days before the concert, my room mate found a ticket for herself, we had some wine, booked a motel and rented a car. And we went. A 4 h drive, fish and chips with Guinness in an Irish pub and the roar of a full Madison Square Garden. The videos on Youtube are merely a hint of it, but I am grateful to all of those who spent the concert with their cameras in their hands to share the memories with others.

Once more, regardless the unfriendly weather, we went to the city. It is not that shocking during the day as it is during the night with all its lights. But the overview of the lower Manhattan looks like a sea of concrete anyway.
