					<title><![CDATA[New York Knicks vs. Portland Trail Blazers]]></title>
					<description><![CDATA[INTEREST<br>Yes, when I was a child I wanted to be a NBA basketball player.<br>Yes that´s truth, when I was a child I wanted to be Magic Johnson.<br>Yes, my favorite team was The Lakers and I didn´t like Knicks because Patrick Ewing was very ugly. <p style='clear:both;'/>INTERÉS<br>Sí, cuando era pequeño quería ser jugador de baloncesto.<br>Sí, es cierto, quería ser Magic Johnson.<br>Sí, mi equipo favorito eran los Lakers, y los Knicks no me gustaban porque Patrick Ewing era muy feo.<p style='clear:both;'/>ILLUSION<br>But… when I knew that I was going to New York I got sick of illusion. I would be in the Garden!!! I would see the new all star trade Amare Stoudamire, and I would see Rudy Fernandez, one of the most spectacular Spanish players!!!<p style='clear:both;'/>ILUSIÓN<br>Pero… cuando supe que iba a ir a Nueva York flipé. Iba a ir al Madison e iba a ver a Stoudamire, el nuevo fichaje estrella de los Knicks ¡y a Rudy Fernandez! uno de los jugadores españoles más espectaculares.<p style='clear:both;'/>REALITY<br>Our seats were so high in the sports centre that the players seemed ants to me.<p style='clear:both;'/>REALIDAD<br>Mi sitio estaba tan alto en el pabellón que los jugadores parecían hormigas. <br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87928' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/DSCN2089.jpg' border=0></a></div><p style='clear:both;'/><br>So I walked down until a guard said: Don´t move. So I didn´t move a step. <br>Rudy was so close that I started to yell in Spanish: "Rudy!!! Show these Yankees what you are!!!" I think he said to Fabricccio Oberto (his team mate): "Have a look at that weird guy over there".<p style='clear:both;'/>Así que bajé las escaleras hasta que un segurata me dijo que no siguiera. Así que no seguí. Como tenía tan cerca a Rudy empecé a gritarle: "Rudy, demuestra a estos yanquis lo que sabes hacer". Creo que le comentó a Oberto (su compañero): "Echa un vistazo a ese tio raro de allí".<p style='clear:both;'/><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87929' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img2.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/31102010296.jpg' border=0></a></div><p style='clear:both;'/>And the guard looked at me with the eye of the tiger. <p style='clear:both;'/>Entonces el segurata me miraba bastante cabreado. <br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87926' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/DSCN2098.jpg' border=0></a></div><p style='clear:both;'/>If I saw someone with the t-shirt of any team or player I talked to him… but they didn´t want to talk to me. Finally the guard said to me to go away so I went away to my position. Sara was there eating popcorns so I ate popcorns and I started to watch the different color ants.<p style='clear:both;'/><br>Si pasaba alguien con alguna camiseta de algún jugador o de algún equipo les comentaba algo, pero ellos ni siquiera me miraban. Al final el segurata me dijo que me esfumara, así que me subí a mi asiento donde estaba Sara comiendo palomitas por lo que yo también me puse a comer palomitas. <p style='clear:both;'/><br>DISAPPOINTMENT<br>Rudy almost didn´t play that night when he should have. I didn´t like how Stoudamire played and he lost the ball in the most important play at the end of the game. <p style='clear:both;'/>DECEPCIÓN<br>Rudy casi no jugó.  No me gustó cómo jugó Stoudamire y además perdió la bola decisiva para ganar el partido.<p style='clear:both;'/>CONCLUSION<br>The court was very nice, the lights were beautiful but the price was expensive (more or less 80 Euros for bad tickets) and the game was a shit. Thanks New York but I prefer your street basket.<p style='clear:both;'/>CONCLUSIÓN<br>El pabellón muy chulo, las luces muy bonitas, pero salió caro (80 Euros más o menos por unos asientos muy malos) y el partido fue una mierda. Gracias New York, pero me quedo con tus canchas callejeras.<p style='clear:both;'/>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Something you can easily discover after a couple of days in NY is that it is a city that almost force you to eat. It doesn´t matter what time you feel hungry, restaurants are always open and ready to serve you food. Furthermore, even if you are not hungry at all, there are lots of street stalls full of different kinds of food that with its odour will confuse your brain so you will think that you want to eat. Yesterday we tried a different place, somewhere to forget all the pizzas, sandwiches, cakes and all kind of unhealthy stuff we have been eaten lately. That is, we have gone to a healthy food restaurant. Apart from all the healthy food, there was healthy eccentric people. Now I want all my readers to form a mental image of a restaurant  in la Mancha: There is a big window, and next to that window there is a woman alone crocheting. I want you to think about the age of the woman, the physical appareance, is she from a big city like Albacete or from a small one like Fuente el Fresno? Ok, do you have your answers? Then you can look at the picture and notice the differences between being from la Mancha and from New York.<p style='clear:both;'/>Algo que se aprecia a los pocos días de estar en NY es que es una ciudad que te obliga a comer. Da igual si tienes hambre o no, todos los restaurantes y demás garitos están siempre abiertos y preparados para servirte. Incluso si no tienes hambre, los deliciosos olores que se extienden por las calles provenientes de los más divesos puestecillos de comida harán creer a tu cerebro que estás hambriento. Ayer probamos un sitio distinto donde poder olvidar las pizzas, hamburguesas , dulces y demás comida grasienta de los últimos días. Así que fuimos a un restaurante de comida saludable. Aparte de toda la comida sana, también había gente muy curiosa, lo que vienen siendo ¡personajes!. Antes de ver la imagen quiero pedirle a los lectores que participen en un ejercicio de visualización. Entramos en un restaurante manchego, al fondo hay una mujer sola al lado de una ventana haciendo ganchillo. Quiero que imaginemos la edad de la mujer, su apariencia física, si pensamos que es de Albacete o de un sitio más pequeño como Fuente el Fresno etc. ¿Teneis la respuesta? Entonces ya estais preparados para mirar la imagen y sentir la diferencia entre ser manchego y neoyorkino.<br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87802' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/DSCN2064.jpg' border=0></a></div>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are only three basic things you should do to look and live like a New Yorker:<p style='clear:both;'/>Las tres reglas de oro para parecer un neoyorkino:<p style='clear:both;'/>1. Walk though the street with a shopping bag and a coffee.<br>1. Caminar por la calle con bolsas (cuantas más mejor) en una mano y un café en la otra.<br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87418' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/300/DSCN1860.jpg' border=0></a></div><p style='clear:both;'/>2. Go to a public laundry and dont ask questions about how to put the washing machine on. Local people may think that you are crazy.<p style='clear:both;'/>2. Hacer la colada en una lavanderia pública y ni por asomo preguntarle al dueño que como funciona la lavadora, pueden pensar que estás loco.<br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87415' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img2.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/300/DSCN1865.jpg' border=0></a></div><p style='clear:both;'/>3. To think that is absolutely right to use 8 coins instead of 2 to make the machine starts.<br>3. Ver como algo natural insertar 8 (de 1/4 de dolar) monedas en vez de 2 con el mismo <a href='/Spain/Valor'>Valor</a>.<br> <div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87417' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img2.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/300/DSCN1863.jpg' border=0></a></div>]]></description>

					<title><![CDATA[Chinatown]]></title>
					<description><![CDATA[Walking along Chinatown in New York you can easily forget where you are and imagine youself in the real China. It was an absolute pleasure to visit the crowded streets and feel the magic and exotism they transmit. Both, day and night trips are pure seduction for your senses.<p style='clear:both;'/>Paseando por el barrio Chino en Nueva York se puede olvidar facilmente donde estás y sentir que te encuentras en el lejano Oriente. Ha sido un placer caminar por las calles abarrotadas de gente y sentir la magia y exotismo que transmiten. Tanto por la noche como por el dia se respira un halo de seducción para tus sentidos.<br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87411' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img2.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/DSCN1854.jpg' border=0></a></div><br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87413' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img2.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/DSCN1868.jpg' border=0></a></div><br>Another thing I also really love about this neighbourhood is that even if it is a really commercial place full of shops, an ordinary tourist like me finds really difficult to buy something, especially food. So you can easily feel outside the high consumism there is all around Manhattan.<p style='clear:both;'/>Otra cosa que me encanta de este barrio es que a pesar de ser muy comercial, lleno de tiendecitas de todo tipo, el típico turista puede encontrar muy dificil comprar algo, especialmente si se trata de comida. Por ello, por un momento uno se siente fuera de la  gran urbe consumista que es la isla de Manhattan.<br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87410' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/DSCN1851.jpg' border=0></a></div><br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87412' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/DSCN1855.jpg' border=0></a></div><p style='clear:both;'/>After the walk, we felt really hungry so we decided to enter a very especial restaurant. It was a vegeterian chinese one. The funny thing was that they tried to copy chinese food using no meat. So we ordered an imitation of Chicken with mango (without Chicken).<p style='clear:both;'/>Después del paseito y haciendo caso a nuestras rugientes tripas fuimos a calmarlas a un restaurante muy especial. Se trataba de un chino vegetariano. Lo curioso del sitio es que en su menú aparecia un sinfin de copias de la típica comida china pero sin carne o mejor tal y como se leia en la carta, con imitación a.... Así ahi nos teneis pidiéndo un plato de falso pollo con mango.<br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87414' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/DSCN1871.jpg' border=0></a></div><br>Just going back home we saw the most romantic part of all: a chinnese wedding. It really catched our attention that the guesses were signing on a beautiful picture were the bride and the broom were posing.<p style='clear:both;'/>Ya volviendo a casa nos encontramos con el evento más romántico: una auténtica boda china. El detalle más bonito era ver como los invitados se situaban en una fila para dejar sellada su firma en un bonito retrato con los novios posando.<br><div class='borderedPhoto' ><a href='/Photos/PhotoView.aspx?imageID=87408' class='photoLink' ><img src='http://img.blogabond.com/UserPhotos/24374/580/DSCN1872.jpg' border=0></a></div>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I cant believe it!! I read many times about "the cage", the famous street basketball court in New York. It was supposed to be full of hard players but I found a guy  who said that no players were there because it was too chilly for them. Hard players?<p style='clear:both;'/>Increible. Hoy he estado en "the cage" la famosa pista de basket callejero donde se supone que juegan los tipos más duros. Le pregunté a un negro la razón por la cual la pista estaba vacia y me contestó que en esta época empieza a hacer frio y solo juegan en pabellones cubiertos. ¿Tipos duros?<p style='clear:both;'/>Aquí  dejo un video de la experiencia:<p style='clear:both;'/><p style='clear:both;'/><a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt2SschTQI4' target=_blank rel='nofollow'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt2SschTQI4</a><br>]]></description>
