Welcome to Chaos !!

Tatiana is horrified to learn that the sk Seashore shoes are trendy.....again. They are so ugly! And kind of expensive, these are $ 75. Tatiana remembers when they were popular in Sweden when Tati was a teen, we call them "Seglarskor" over there, even back then Tatiana thought they were awful.

Flew home and arrived in Alaska early this morning, like 1 AM. It feels like I was never gone, my trip feels like a dream, surreal almost. Probably because it was so short.....



If you scroll down you can read about my last few days in NY, I had to wait until today to update because I was so busy in NY that I didn't have time to do it......

Last day in New York. We were both sad. I HATE saying goodbye to my friends, it's an awful feeling and I usually cry. Had one last lunch, for this time, at Pret, I will miss their delicious almond croissants. Sat in Times Square for a while and soaked it all in. I am sad to leave. Life is full of good bye's, I hate that. And time goes by so fast, too fast, these days have flown by. I've had a great time, made many memories that I will cherish forever.........TACK ROSSE! ❤

I am not sure how far we walked today but it was FAAAAAR. We started out at Union Square and walked down to Battery Park. We passed the new One World Trade Center that today officially became the tallest building in NY, very cool. Later we took the Staten Island ferry, which is free btw and takes you close enough to the Statue Of Liberty so you can get a good look at her. After the ferry round trip we walked Greenwich St up to High Line Park, I recommend that you visit that place.
It is an elevated narrow park that stretches for several blocks above the streets in NY - interesting. Then we made it back to Union Square. After that we had some really good pizza and my friend happily watched the hockey game that was live, she is a huge hockey fan. Then we strolled over, in the late evening, to Grand Central, that also is a beautiful place and took the subway home.
A few more weeks of walking like this and I will be in top shape. Too bad I have to leave tomorrow...... 😥

Spent the day exploring Brooklyn. Bedford Ave where we found a Swedish coffee place and I found a cute shirt in a boutique. We walked across the Brooklyn bridge. Then in the evening we ended up in Greenpoint, the Polish neighborhood. Indeed it is, Polish ads everywhere, Polish stores, people chatting away.....in Polish. We ate at Karczma, the food was delicious and plenty, so good. I love Polish food! I even had Zywiec - Polish beer.

What a night! Never been to Pacha before. The place was PACKED. Meaning NO room to move AT ALL on the main floor. What a disappointment!
The dj before Danny was really good so we danced for a good while but once Danny came on it was almost impossible to be comfortable on the dance floor. I need some room to move!
Really too bad because I love Danny Tenaglia. He said, "I have four words for you......THIS IS THE BEGINNING!" Meaning, it was about 2 AM when he came on, the club was closing at Noon. Danny is famous for his long, brilliant sets, he likes to take you on a journey. So he was probably playing until Noon. I would had stayed that long or at least until 9 AM but by 3 we gave up. There were just too many people there. It took me one hour to get my jacket and squeeze myself through the crowd so I could exit the club. One hour!
I saw Danny once in LA, he played from Midnight until 6 AM and it was great. He plays dark beats that have lots of rhythm. You feel like you belong to some tribe somewhere and everybody is moving to the same ancient beat. Or sometimes it feels like you are on a train, feeling the movement of the train going through you.
Besides the insane crowd, I liked Pacha, good layout. Much better than the typical Vegas club where it's all about flaunting your money and what you are wearing or not wearing. Pacha is about the dj, the music and the dancing. You can wear sneakers! There were two more dance floors besides the main one. Places to sit, for FREE, Vegas take notes! Good sound, that's important.
Somewhat annoying, confused and persistent in a stalkerish way guys, that kind of just tried to stand as close as possible to you on the dance floor while trying to make eye contact. A few firm, no's and "I am dancing with my friend" did the trick.
One tall skinny guy started snaking his body around in front of me while pulling on his flimsy Jesus bling chain, showing off his "wealth". I shooed him away like an annoying fly. Another one tried to press his crotch into my friends ass, I HATE that. I would think most normal girls hate that. It's yucky and pervy. If I do not know you - keep your body parts, especially your half stiff dick away from me! Really! Or I might have to hurt you, give you a donkey kick.
So I basically told him, "HEY! Keep your dick away from my friends ass". You have to be firm and stand your ground, otherwise the dick thrusters will surround you on the dance floor in no time. Like piranhas flocking a prey.
Another guy forgot to put on deodorant, that whole week I think. He smelled bad. Please people, when out in public, especially while in crowded places be mindful of your personal hygiene - thank you.
Anyways, I wish that I could had stayed many more hours but I couldn't deal with the crowd. Maybe I will see Danny again soon.
