What a long time passes sometimes just without my notice. Lots of things have happened since. Let's just talk about few of those.

American lifestyle and keep smiling. I was totally amazed once, when I was pissed off in a bank office due to not getting normal service. When I approached a person who opened my bank account and her responce was "how have to smile". Hell. OK, I have heard this before. When I just want to get things done and I am indifferent I am told that I have to smile. By the way, when I opened bank account I had to have a long conversation about my life and the bank tellers life and spend hours in bank. So much about efficiency. Efficiency tends to apply better to automatic phone advertising and fast food.

Visited New York last week. Had a look at many investment banks and visited also NYSE. You can see some of it in my new pictures. It was really nice to see Märt over couple of years. True, we lived two years together, then one year Märt was in Estonia and then two years he has been in the States. He is still the same nice guy whom I remember. I also met Jelena Strelcova: in fact i could happily use a sofa in her living room. She is really busy up there in NY, having to constantly network with investment banks. And met also Janis Vitols, who is currently workign in trading in CSFB. Overall, this created a great experience of New York. Besider other things, saw a great view from the 86th floor of Empire State Building, the tallest building in NY at least currently. But a great part of this story is that I will go back there together with Eva after Christmas.

I guess I will stop for now. Next week Thanksgiving (only two days of school), then one week of school and then exam week. And then ... comes Eva. I love it (her).
