One show is going on here also
So my office is also in Times square
I'm gonna try finding it
Office is obviously here
And this is the building
And this is my office
Here it is
So, They have rooftop as well
But I cannot go there
because it is closed right now
Here is Tables tennis available
games also,
& drinks also
And the views are so good from all the directions
So, I setup my MacMini temporarily here
very exhausting day so far man
And this is our cheap rooftop
of New York City
The sunset is quite pretty here
Its not so good like you saw in upper Manhattan
This is kind of lower Manhattan I think
That's why feeling is not like that
Still I'm grateful that I got a decent apartment in Budget
There I won't have got less than $200/Day
This rooftop reminds me a lot of my Amritsar's house
So, Finally its time for NYC
grocery shopping
in NYC bag
I will carry this reusable bag
And I checked if I want to do grocery shopping
The store is 20 min by subway train
and 25 min by walk
So you just guess How I will go
And there is also an option of city bike
on which it'll take me just 10-15 min
to wholefoods grocery
But I am choosing to walk
to maximize productivity
because I can listen to Audiobooks by walking
but not by biking
So this is the small grocery shop which is near my apartment
But it is very expensive
Thats why whole foods
This cooked chicken is my favourite
It is very affordable also
Its I think $10
And it'll be enough for my two meals
Lets buy one oat milk
One yogurt
Didn't bring protein, So this
Wow
These eggs are so expensive
but have to buy
Anyway
NCR
Just hoping stuff comes in this
I hope I get city bike
Then I can take both on each side
No e bike
Oh got it
This is it
Peddle for boost
Unfortunately this bike is not charged
because of the red light
So have to use some other
Let's transfer
Maybe this is e bike
This is also not
Will work anyway
What we can do
This network of city bike is offline
So have to pick from someplace else
found another bike on the way
So much convinient now
My shoulders got tired
So, According to the rules
You're supposed to park in the end lane
So basically
Many people take the first spot
That is not recommended
They say that park in the end first
If there's space
Got locked!
Its not getting locked guys
Staying in New York is very difficult
I'm so sweaty already
coming 7 floors up with grocery
Oh no
Man!
I think shit happened today
Just now, Before doing office work I came to rooftop
And I thought it'll open by my key
The key that is needed for entrance
that same key doesn't works for rooftop
I think aparmtent haven't gave me rooftop's key
This is insane
This key doesn't work
Even this doesn't works
Where is the key
Guys, I am trapped
Now I have only one option to get out
Because landlord haven't replied till now
These stairs
which are looking very dangerous
Oh Man
Feeling scared even to look like that
Its not that much dangerous but
because these are
Obviously you'll feel scared if you will look down
Now I have moved in here
but have to face many problems in New York city
Problem no.1
Air quality is
Oh shit, I forgot to close it
if wind closed it again then I will be locked
Shit, I forgot
Blocking it is very important
Now no one is in apartment
This is biggest problem
NOw I was going to talk about smoke
Biggest problem is
that rooftop doesn't have a key
They said whenever you come to rooftop
Just block the door
Otherwise I will get locked out
If you get locked out
then there's just one option
to call the
Just take out doing anything I am trapped here
Right now there's no one at home
So no one will be able to take me inside home
I'll be trapped on the rooftop
Won't be able to work in office
And
And these stairs are extremely scary to go down
Finally I can see the sun as well
Sky got a little blue today
So happy to see that
So amazed man
It's still smoky
You can't see here
And if you will see this river
You'll still be able to see that its
still greyie
Still very smoky
But thankgod I can see it
Before I was not able to see the view
Today, Air quality index is anyway same as New Delhi
but still its showing warning that you shouldn't go out
That means I will definitely go out
because I am habitual to Delhi
Why i won't go out here
Now next problem is
such expensive apartment still
have to face such problems
paying almost $1000+ rent per month
and still it is very difficult to manage
because this is four bedroom apartment
here I have to share bathroom with four people
which is extremely challenging
Everyone wake up at morning 7
and
when I was in little jetlag
Not jetlag actually
I was exhausted
So sometimes sleeping early and sometimes late
So by seven when
Specially when you share apartment with girls
Then obviously its challenging
So overall bathrrom is a probem sharing with four people
What I feel is a bigger problem
You might be shocked
It is
I talk to my roommate
How is your day going
what work you do
but after answering they will go to their room
Everyone wants to stay in their room
Don't want to come out
I hardly see anyone for one minute in the kitchen
No one cooks
Atleast I make eggs and banana shake in my breakfast and lunch but
here I am barely seeing anyone in kitchen
No one has time
I mean everyone stay out
How much you ask them
that how is your day going
They will stop after giving their answer
No one will ask about me
because no one has time
Everyone is really busy
They work 10-12 hours
After going home, They just want bed and watch TV
Apart from this, No one has time
So this happened in my apartment
And it is definitely a big cultural shock for me
Luckily windows are sound proof
But major problem is that
I can't take the air outside because of bad quality
but bigger problem is
There;s no Ac here
I am just passing time with fan
And with this fan
First day it was 90 farhenheit
It was very hot like Delhi
So I was not able to sleep the first night
but now weather is better
but
living without Ac in such weather was bit challenging for me
This apartment is $4k/month
Every person has to pay thousand per month
Now you don't have to compare
But yes you know, New York city is expensive
Time for laundry
Buildings are so old
The buildings are so old
that there is no elevator at all
I don't know the building in which I am living
I think it must be minimum 80y.o
Its really challenging to take groceries till 7th floor
And today i will understand how does laundry system works
Before there was in airbnb
Now here all apartments have common laundry
just one
Just like India, Alongside our apartment is a Kiryana store
And this is the laundry
That means I have to pick my clothes before 9
Timings are till 9 pm
And people are working together
People put clothes in washer and work here
This is very interesting
By mistake I forgot my credit card
They do not have Apple Pay
So have to come back
half energy finishes going up and down to sveen floors
So total I spent is $4
Now drying is free
but have to come again
in 30 min
to put in dryer and
then again for pickup
3 trips
for laundry
7 floors up and down
Infact the trash also, When your dustbin gets full
You have to take it all the way down again
So like it came
The same way I have to leave
This is the reality of Airbnb
So
Lets go now
Stay in NYC was very good
These 2-3 weeks will be very memorable
and this city
Had a lot of fun
