New York City

Friday
So like I said, arrived in New York City Friday around 6:30am. Was EXPECTING to emerge in a terminal with, you know, a currency exchange, coffee shops, maybe an internet cafe, you know, like when you arrive in any OTHER country in the world. No it splurted me out in a dingy underground parking garage filled with taxi drivers with signs ( Read more... )

Sounds like an ear infection - I had that after passing through Switzerland and then being in a pool all week in Italy but my ears never popped - and then when we drove back through Switzerland my ears never popped AGAIN and I ended up having a huge ear infection (don't remember if it was middle ear or inner ear). Get to a doctor asap :)

Hmm /: is "in a week" asap enough? \:

No - you can get permanent hearing damage from stuff like this. If it perforates your ear drum (and the blood is really not a good sign because it might be that the infection got into the Eustachian tube) you may suffer hearing loss, permanent pain etc. Not something to mess with!

I don't know what kind of insurance you have, but my doctor's office can get you in quickly, if you need to go. You can even make an appointment online: www.yafferuden.com.

I totally dig that camel.

Where did you arrive in NYC? I can't place the coffeeless cellar you're describing!

emo_snal November 9 2009, 19:58:12 UTC

JFK. I forget what terminal, but it was a dungeeeon.

tigrkittn November 9 2009, 20:00:44 UTC

That's funny- I was just there in June and don't remember finding anything inhospitable about it. Also I very distinctly remember passing the currency exchange.Anyway, glad you escaped and found what you needed!

There were some rolled down shop doors. Maybe they'd have been open later (it was 6:30am). But the whole place was very dingy and closely resembled the parking garage it opened out to.

You came in through a domestic flight terminal? Maybe they just route Egyptair through their worst one (: d:

WELKOME BACK TO AMERIKA

emo_snal November 9 2009, 20:22:43 UTC

Oh also when I looked around for someone to ask directions from I realized EGYPT seemed to have more people who looked like they knew enough english to carry a conversation than does NYC. (:

danialtravieso November 9 2009, 23:12:09 UTC

There is no place like home!

nyyhoneybee November 9 2009, 20:08:59 UTC

You still need to meet up with me also ;)

emo_snal November 9 2009, 20:21:37 UTC

You here in NYC? Looks like I should be running amuck until at least Friday, but may be back here by during the day Fri.

nyyhoneybee November 9 2009, 20:33:12 UTC

Yes I am

I have class in the morning and meeting up with a friend in the afternoon but I'll be able to do something after I see her for a bit :)

emo_snal November 9 2009, 20:47:01 UTC

Also I'm about to head downtown right now but the day is almost over. Really I'm heading out just for the sake of getting out. (:

But you can call or text me at (530) area code, 574 followed by 3599 (intentionally interspersed with words so as not to be picked up by bots)

Sounds like some form of swimmers ear to me. Hmmm....

Now there's a pack of Camels I would like! They look sweet, like llamas.

The only thing I understand about cell phones is that the companies want to make money, so I doubt anything saves you money...it's more about how to get more for your money, but you have to spend more to get more.
