USA - Washington DC and New York City

Washington DC

Cheeky green fountain for St. Patrick's Day

Still got this thing with libraries: The library of Congress is one of my favourite ones!

Right before I went down the stairs to take this picture

 I was sitting on a bench where an American joined me 

and we started talking.It turned out he lived in 

Germany for years to teach English as a 

Second Language and he just continued doing so 

in Saudia Arabia,however, he was waiting

 for his new working permit to be extended. 

So we ended up talking about the Middle East and 

how there is a really wrong perception in Western 

countries about the people, the countries and 

the culture there.

Not really hard to figure out which embassy's parking lot that is!

                   The Clintons actually just live right across the Danish Embassy, 

so the Deputy Ambassador of Denmark told us to pass by! #hillaryfangirlmoment

    What is better than bacon or pancakes for breakfast? Bacon AND pancakes for breakfast! 

I really struggled with this whole plate though.

Pizza slices - all day every day!

New York City

 We were recommended to take the Staten Island Ferry (free of charge) for a 
good view of the Statue of Liberty rather than going to the super-crowded 
Liberty Island.

   

 We stopped by at the Bernie Sander's office in Brooklyn where we got
 some information about the election campaign and 
also how the voter's registration works in the US.

 As a German it seems quite weird that people have to register to vote 
and cannot simply vote on election day. 

  (In Germany every person who is eligible to vote automatically receives 
a voting card stating the polling station you are supposed to vote at
 on election day. Eventually you can just go there with your ID 
card only and vote - you do not even have to show your 
voting card in the polling station since your name is on a list.)

It definitely will! - Anni

And another library: The New York Public Library

Unfortunately, the main reading hall was closed and is supposed to be stunning.

  My favourite thing about travelling is catching up with friends, so I was really happy to meet Rexin. 
Rexin and I studied together last semester since she added an Erasmus semester 
at CBS after her Masters and is right now interning in New York.

Best salad I had in my life at Bluestone Lane Café

Everyone trying to get their Gossip Girl-ish photo

  What I love more than art pieces in an art museum is actually seeing how people experience the art.

Kinda got a Britney vibe from the girl on the left!

  As the hipsters we are, we had to try burgers at Shake Shack - had better ones, had worse ones!

Having a MUN session in the real UN was one of the coolest things in my life!

This Serena moment!

I can imagine now how bright Delilah is shining!
