Many Visitors...

... these days! Many friends paid me a visit and I am not talking about those imaginary people telling me always to buy more pizza and read cases, but real ones ;-). First, as i wrote on the blog last week, Daniel and David came over for a few days. Then Anne from Frankfurt had a stay-over with Lufthansa here in New York. And now, Dennis from Valencia is here just before Denis from North Carolina will arrive in two days. Further, the work load at NYU increased exponentially and everybody requires assignments, mid-terms and essays to be written. This week I have been to the Natural History Museum which was probably the best museum I have seen so far here in New York. The only disadvantage is its size. It is HUGE! There is no way you can read and see everything interesting within one day. I was a little bit puzzled by their extrapolation of world population growth in the next 50 years. If there numbers are right, there will be very little room for people on this planet in a cpuple of decades, when population numbers will pass 10, 20 and supposedly even 50 billion. Investments in real estate sound like a clever idea. I only saw a third of the museum and definitely have to go back soon. One very convenient fact is that they do not have a predefined entrance fee but a suggested contribution to their foundation. Theoretically you could just donate one cent to see the museum. Cheap education!
