NYC is really diverse and multicultural. Today I sat at a dinner table where everyone had a different origin and we somehow managed to end up in NYC. I met a Vietnamese, who emigrated to Poland and ended up in NY. I also met a Singaporean, who worked in Hong Kong before and ended up in NYC. Another person from Maine, north east of NY, which is in total contrast to the hustle and bustle of NYC. My colleague is from the Phillipines, who emigrated to Canada and I’m currently working with him in NY. This was just a dinner with our prime broker.

In a sense, America really is a land of opportunity, cause as long as you are capable, no one cares where you come from.

Was at Times Square last night just to catch the night scene. Shops open until 2am, so it’s really a shopper’s paradise. Things are generally cheaper here, and even after conversion, you get a lot more bang for buck shopping for certain goods here. It’s just so vibrant here, you have to be physically here to feel the ambience. Will leave with a few photos.
