i arrived at Ebens place in brooklyn, at 8am. Opened the door and was suprised to see 3 other couchsurfers there. They (Matt & Patrick) are from California as well…LA and burlingame to be exact. they were on the east coast for a Red Cross convention. also, steffie from Vienna, Austria.

here are some quick highlights in NYC:

- dumpling house (super cheap, super good…you know how i love me some dumplings)

-took the subway all over NYC and met a very cool street performer along the way

- bouncing tennis balls over peoples head as they walk by us t columbia university

- david + david = david^2. two russian guys who sounded like portguese people

- insomnia cookie (the nyc version of sf hot cookie)

but most of all, my first experience couch surfing and eben turned out to be the greatest sweetheart. caring. thoughtful. truly a good soul.
