At precisely 9:00 pm on Saturday, January 5th, 2008 my plane touched down in New York City marking the start of my NYC adventure.
Yesterday was a mixed day of emotions. There were emotional highs about the adventure that lays ahead. There were also trying lows. I wrote this a short moment after waving goodbye at the airport and disappearing out of view of loved ones.
I explored the city today, it was really my first time discovering it. It was a day marked with firsts.
My first day waking up in my new city. First time seeing the Empire State Building. First run in Central Park. First time feeling the wave of miss that occurs when you’re far away from friends and family.
Here’s a photo of my building.
Overwhelming thought of the day: this is going to be an emotionally intense year (and one hell of a city to live in).
If you’re in the city let’s grab a drink.

Rhys W added these pithy words on Jan 28 08 at 4:08 pmHey Frazer, I wish you all the best on the coming job and my thoughts are with you. I am surprised that you left Trivaris. What prompted this move, especially so far away. If you want, I do have a skype account that we can link to. Just tell me the time and day. I have NOT done any stairs since I left Pictorvision. That too was a sad day. Let me know when you come back to the big city here…… keep in touch.
