Ons het uiteindelik die wenner van ons ATKV oord naweek vir ses mense getrek. Almal wat gecomment het op Dishoeonsrol.co.za het ‘n nommer gekry en ons awesome kombuis tannie, Sina, het die wenner getrek. Baie geluk aan Danni Meneghun aka Danni California van DraftFCB. You and 5 of your mates will be doing the Zef at an ATKV resort of your choice. Lekker!

Ons het nog ‘n kleinhuisie vol shots wat almal kan uitcheck. Hier is so paar wat ons gekies het wat wys hoe bitter awesome NY is. Nog lekker prentjies later. VerlangnaNewYork groete.

I guess everyone expected this post a lot earlier in our month over here. Maar Renier is nie rerig gepla met enige vroumense behalwe een nie. En Nico hou daarvan om die girls te laat wag. Vir jare nou al. Maar anyway, we eventually made our way to the Statue of Liberty. She’s kind of out of the way, way down South but after finishing our internship we became proper tourists. So obviously Lady Liberty had her day.

New Yorkers love standing in a queue and they enjoy making their visitors do the same. So we stood in a line for the tickets, then stood in a line to get on the ferry, then stood in a line to get off the ferry and stood in a line to get back on at the end. But the experience is well worth it. Getting on a ferry out of Manhattan is like going on a holiday to the Kruger Park. With less lions though. It’s amazing how calm everything gets. Before we even saw the big statue on the island, we just enjoyed sitting around doing nothing in the shade of some shade giving trees. It was also nice to see a lawn. Never, ever take a lawn for granted again. Grass is nass…

When we eventually saw the Lady, she was quite something. Much bigger than the novelty ones you mom’s aunt brought you and your brothers back home from her trip to the States way back when. She impressed us enough to warrant a new roll right by her feet.

As mens vir ‘n maand na ‘n plek soos hierdie kom en dan nog werk ook, kan dit maklik raak om te vergeet waar jy is. Dit was nice om herhinder te word dat ons actually in New York is. Ons ma’s moet seker moerse trots wees!

A trip to New York wouldn’t be a real trip to New York without watching the Yankees play at Yankee Stadium. Our New York daddies, Adam and Matt organised some next level tickets. Let’s just say if Donald Trump was there, we would’ve sat right next to him. Baseball is a lot like cricket, you throw a ball at a guy who has to hit it with a piece of wood. It’s also a lot like soccer. You can sit there for 3-4 hours and the score could end up being 1-0. At our game the Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 4-1. One guy hit a big six. That doesn’t happen very often – do not believe what you see in those movies.

We also encountered our most expensive beer of our whole trip at $12. You do the math on that one. Ten minste het ons na die game ‘n paar goedkoper biere gaan wegslaan daar in die Bronx in. Dit was ‘n baie lekker aand en ‘n voorreg om die Amerikaners se sport kultuur lewendig te beleef. Ons sal dit verseker volgende jaar weer doen! Ons wou ‘n duikrol doen op daai pragtige grasperk, maar wou nie 6 dae vroeg gedeporteer word nie. Thanks a lot to Matt and Adam for organising a great evening. Kyk uit vir ons Yankee rol. Skêr pappie!

Voorsmakie! Volg ons op ons oggend roete werk toe. Hier hoef jy nie eers in die awesome museums en gallerye uit te hang om inspirasie te kry nie, selfs ons trippie werk toe is iets om oor huis toe te skryf. Ons raak elke keer opgewonde net om in die strate van NY te wees, ons deel dit sommer met julle. Dis bitter lekker hier, die energie is van ‘n ander wêreld af. Wednesday, jy rock! Thanks vir die vinnige edit en die woes footage. Vat 5! Ons wil graag als wat ons hier op die trip vasgevang het bymekaar gooi en in een video prop. As 30 sekondes só kan lyk, kan ons nie wag om te sien wat ons kan doen met al ons footage nie. Woelige groete.
