8 Million Stories
One thing I love doing when I have some free time in the City is to sit down in a Starbucks and watch people in the street...
Yes, I am a stalker.
But seriously, have you ever thought of what other people were doing or thinking at this exact moment. Those 8,175,133 New Yorkers. Is there something comforting about looking around and imagining the lives of the people around us? I think so.
I wonder where this girl walking in this tiny shirt and tight leather leggings on a cold October morning is rushing to. Where can she probably work?
And that guy! His suit is way too big! Unless he doesn't have any hands? I doubt it.
That family must be French. French tourists. I'm telling you.
... So you see? Why is it so enjoyable?
NYC is such a fascinating city. We are surrounded by so many people. But in the other hand, it seems so difficult to meet people and establish some kind of solid relationships.
Sometimes I hope that I will get a chance to learn the stories of the tiny guy, the French family... etc; the stories behind those passing encounters.

Oct 1st, 2011: First "Slut Walk" in NYC
The slut walk is a nationwide movement against the misconception that rape victims invite attack by wearing provocative clothing.

Museum of Arts and Design
From April 27 to October 24, 2010, the museum presents the exhibition “Dead or Alive”, showcasing the work of 30 international artists who transformed natural materials (feathers, dead insects, bones, plants…) into art. It’s a really daring and original exhibition that I personally enjoyed a lot. Check it out!
“All art is but imitation of nature”.
