The Boston Experience

Fri, 2010-05-07

2 days in Boston.

100 % rain on the first day. Bad conditions; anyway ....

Boston is a nice city and there are also things to do which do not rely on good weather conditions.

Miami Beach

Thu, 2010-04-29

A short trip 2 Miami Beach? Why not.

After some troubles with American Airlines (the flight was almost 3 hours delayed) I finally arrived in Miami Beach at 2 AM in the morning.

Pretty tired I checked my accommodation and fall immediately asleep.

I stayed 4 days in Miami Beach and had a nice time. Weather and people were awesome. There is a lot of nightlife in this city and also plenty of activities during the day.

12 miles a day - walking through NYC

After running through Prospect Park and a healthy breakfast, I packed my stuff and went to Manhattan / downtown.

EnergyHub goes Prospect Park

Wed, 2010-04-07

Due the hot weather this week, EnergyHub went to Prospect Park for a pic nic.

Once again we had nice weather in New York, almost 88 F. After lunch we played some games and went to a pub later on.

Central Park (again) and Coney Island

Sat, 2010-04-03

Once again I spent a Saturday in Central Park. Weather was awesome. I met Maike again, which I know since the weeked at SixFlags entertainment park.

Later on we met some friends of here and tried to go out in Manhattan. Unfortunately one of us was under 21, so we had some troubles getting into a bar.

Sunday was awesome weather too. After running in the Prospect Park I went to Coney Island to meet the girls from the day before.

Six Flags Entertainment Park

Sat, 2010-03-27

On Friday night I took the train down to Edison / New Jersey to meet my study colleague Christian. I stayed overnight at his flat and we had nice accompany ....
and some good vine ....

Saturday we got up early and went further south to the SixFlags Entertainment Park. I was quite cold and I was happy to borrow some warm clothes.

4th week

Fri, 2010-03-26

4 weeks of my internship at EnergyHub are already over.

It was a busy week and a great weather to work. (In fact it was quite cold and raining a lot on Monday and Tuesday).

As I wrote before, I am having a great time in the company.

I found a new flat for April and May and will leave my current one at the beginning of April. I am looking forward to move and hope to stay further in touch with my current roommates.

Ohio people are great

Sun, 2010-03-21

So it was Sunday and still gorgeous weather in NYC. I talked to my family in the morning and left our flat later on, heading up again to Manhattan.

This time I took the Brooklyn bridge. I walked around Ground Zero and along the Broadway. I got some running shoes at Union Square. Asiscs GT 2150 for 55 Euro. That is amazing. These shoes cost about 120 Euros in Austria.

Later on I went up again Rockefeller Center. I met 3 cool, nice and funny students from Ohio. We hat so much fun and spent the rest of the afternoon together.

Another great day in Manhattan

Sat, 2010-03-20

I left the flat on 9 AM Saturday morning. It was such a beautiful day and we had about 74 degrees Fahrenheit. I walked over the Manhattan bridge to NYC.

I took the ferry to Staten Island to get another view of Manhattan. Awesome, Great. It is really hard to describe how nice it was on Saturday.

Later on I met Christian, my study colleague, and we spent the rest of the day together.

Worst day in my life

Mon, 2010-03-15

Do you know these days where everything goes wrong?
Where the whole world or maybe the whole universe is against you?
Nothing seems to work and you just want to disappear ...
Yeah I can tell you, I had such a day last Monday.

I woke up and went to the company, not knowing what will happen that day. I reached EnergyHub at 9 AM and stayed there for almost 9 hours. It was terrible. I was working on a serious bug and I could not find the error. I really wasted my time. I was frustrated and so I decided to walk home at about 6 PM.
