Chinese Lunar New Year

This week we celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year all arround ChinaTown.

The Bobst Library

That's the inscriptions at the entrance of The Elmer Holmes Bobst Library of NYU. Thats a high hope and higher are even the services and the quality offered by this authentic temple of the wisdom. You'll find me there at any time.

The Wagner School

The Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service is the specialized center at New York University (NYU) for Public Administration and Non Government Organizations (NGO) management. I fortunately joined Wagner just a month ago with an enormous excitement.

Wagner is a quite small school and so It offers the new students a very harm welcome and very much familiar environment. When I first time visited it I was introduced to all the administrative staff by the kind and close admissions team. So there is no body there that is unknown and everybody feel like home. In 2004, the school moved to the historic Puck Building, 295 Lafayette Street in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood (Photp).

The cold weather

Some of my friends, relatives and specially my parents are asking me often how is the weather like in NYC. Well, as you can see by this nice photo, the weather in NYC is really cold and it's beeing worse if it's possible. Today I've received a mail from the vice president for public safety at NYU warning about a severe weather alert regarding a winter storm expected for next night. So tomorrow the whole city is exepected to wake up covered by snow. The news scares me because I don't use to live in such extrem conditions. However, I will be no loguer afraid since a very good friend of mine lend me a great anorak suitable for permanent snow environments. Many thanks Eddie!! Although I look like the characters of the Ninja Turtle, an old Yankee call says "While I'm going warm, keep the people laughing" :-).
