NY moments
I'm at Magnolia Bakery. A Spanish friend invited me for dinner, she wants to offer a tortilla dinner before I leave NY. I went to Magnolia Bakery to get the delicious banana-pudding for desert. If you haven't tried it, you don't know what you're missing. As I'm waiting to pay, ther's this guy picking-up his order. The waitress opens the box, with 6 cupcakes inside, for him to see the work they had done. The cupcakes read "Lory, will you marry me?". There is a collective Aaaawwh! echoing in Magnolia Bakery. He then shows everyone the engagement ring, that he would later place on the 6th cupcake. And every customer at the Bakery went aaawwh and ooooooh and aaaaah and "how romantic", "beautiful", "congratulations". In NY, these moments are common. Strangers that interact with you and then move on. New Yorkers can strike up a conversation with any stranger standing next to them. These tiny pieces of conversations float around everywhere, inconsequential comments, light as air. Even if only to say "I love your nail polish, what a great colour" or "love your boots!" or "what perfume are you wearing?". These are just a couple of examples that happened to me, when standing in line at a store, or walking in the street, at a restaurant or in the subway. I will miss this in Brussels, oh yes I will! Or maybe I'll bring a bit of NY to Brussels and end-up spooking a few Belgians with impromptu comments about nothing and everything!

De qq forma, os americanos e os seus Oooooh my God! Oooooh qq coisa, são imbatíveis, e juro-te, que embora te compreenda e entenda perfeitamente, eu não sei se no teu lugar não mandava tudo pro caneco e ficava aí a curtir NY. Não sei mesmo! Beeeeeeijos, cá te espero!
