Today I became homeless. It was a planned action, but never the less energy consuming. I moved out of my room in Harlem. Took all my belongings somewhere around 50 kilos of clothes, computers and crap and left the apartment. My plan was to leave the bike and walk but I could not carry my stuff so I made use of my bike to roll the biggest of my three bags. First stop was the laundry.
After that I went to Brooklyn, Parkslope to be precise felt that I wanted to say good bye to a friend I have come to know here in NY. Stopped by a phone store to revive my phone. Still hating T-mobile so much, but Verizon will not take your money if they can't have all of it: they demand to sell you a phone as well. By the time I had gotten to Parkslope, by riding the subway with about 50 kilogram of luggage in three bags and a bike I was a bit tiered. With a working phone I managed to set up for myself a place to sleep according to a previous arrangement with another new friend here in NY: a truly nice guy, actually the nicest guy in NY.
After that I hung out in the Parkslope club for about 8 hours playing Robo Rally and Call of Duty - miniatures. It was really just what I needed.
Now I found my way to bed and I feel less homeless and more excited about the rest of my trip. But having to much luggage and no direct plan is a very stressful situation. It will be interesting to see what else this trip will bring.
