Arrival

Good flight, everything went well! Maybe later more about that.
I had problems finding the right way to Sonelius Smith, especially because a train was not running this weekend.
But finally I found the right station. Then I had to find out where he lives. Not easy, but all people I asked helped me or even tried to! The Way was very hard because I had to carry two pieces of luggage with me, one of them I could not pull behind me. 
Sonelius Smith was really nice to me. He seems not to be very organized but it's fine. Later more about him!
After I got into my room, unloaded my luggage into the wardrobe, made me fresh and so on Sonelius Smith showed me the supermarkets around and the subway station. He described how to come to Empire State Building, so I went there to find out where to go, so I am sure that I know the way tomorrow. It was quite easy to find. I bought a Metro Card for unlimited trips for 30 days which costs 81$. 
It was very interesting and impressive to be in Manhattan and to see so many different people, tourists and inhabitants. 
After that I wanted to go home because I was tired. Who wonders, I didn't sleep for the last 24 hours, and the last night, I had just had three hours of sleep. But I doesn't feel as tired as I had expected.
On my way to the Empire State Building and back, four times, I was asked for the way or the right train. I was not able to help very much, but I seem to look like I lived here. Maybe because I didn't take a big bag with me and didn't read the map all the time.
So then I bought some breakfast and water (I really needed that) and went home, to have a shower and go sleeping. The good thing about the shower was the cold water. After a hard and warm day like that day it was the best that could happen to me. But after I finished, I found out how to get warm water.
So that was the first day.
