I called bookstores all over New York City.
Yesterday, I wanted a book to give to Kokoro for her birthday. Mika-chan helped me to show how to ask them over a phone call. That was my first time to make phone call to ask.
Before going to Jewish Museum to get a book, I wanted to stop by Socrates Park. I took the bus at Northern Blvd. I’m not bus people, so it was feeling somewhat curious. The driver saw a boy who was chasing the bus, she paused for him. After a slow and relaxing ride, the bus arrived to Astoria. It was not bad. I got off the bus and walking in Astoria, then, somebody appeared and gestured for me to come over here. Lots of folks were gathering. He told me I could join now, and another old lady came up to and said me to eat hurriedly spare ribs it were running out soon, so delicious, hurry!
I didn’t know what was going on. The gathering was mostly elderly black who seems to live around there. I got in the line. They liberally served me a feast… burgers, spare ribs, salad, and more. I didn’t figured out it while they were performing rap on the stage, but I perceived it when they started shouting hallelujah following kind of Jesus Rock. It was a local church gathering. Their hamburger was the best I’ve ever had in America. It was super thick and crispy. God is great, so I thought.
We were enjoying myself in front of a construction site. A lady told me now folks have a problem the apartments is being built. They are holding a lot of such a gathering to make the construction delay a lot. God is great, so I thought.
I took the ferry from Astoria to Manhattan. And… Oh, well, it’s been too much writing. Jewish Museum was a so great. I’ll write about it next sometime.
