Hello all , :wave:

I've been browsin this forum and the one over at skyscraperpage.com for couple of years now and i just signed up today.
i'll introduce myself for a bit :
Tim,19yrs old,from The Netherlands,U.S obsession and in General : New York :banana2:
(probably emigrating to the u.s whenever possible when older) :banana::carrot:.
that's about it.
:cheers:

well welcome to SSC, but you seem a little bit ecstatic about NYC, it's much worse than you think, I was overly disappointed when I came to NYC, I just learned to cope with it with skycrapers, which is the #1 reason I love NYC, there's so much diversity here, you can spend all day on only one building, a whole lifetime wouldn't be enough to see them all! :eek:
anyway, hope you have a great time here!
:dance:

Welcome NYaddict..what took you so long :)
Keep that energy you have for NYC...
You'll fit in just fine with the rest of us junkies :D

....and I'm sure one day NYC will be the place you like to call home

cheers .... Justin (resident NYC wanna-be) :dance2:

Welcome to the forums Tim! Nice to see a new face around here.

I hope you enjoy your stay!

velcom!

Lol tim, ur not the only one 'big dutch new York fan' on this forum, here is one too

have you been to NYC before? im going on 12 november with other dutch members!

Hey great to have another forumer over here!
NYC is amazing, trust me, you'll love it. :)

-Vlad :)

well while I'm at it, it's Phil here.
And as Dennis said and you've probably learned, there's a big reunion on November 12th or 13th, many dutch forumers are coming, you're welcome to join, the more the merrier

it would be nice for him to join if he can afford the ticket and the hotel and stuff :)

thanks for joining us nyaddict!

yeah, im glad that you can come to join fellow nyc-fans like me (a die-hard east coaster-wanna be from the bay area) and swivle as well as fellow nyc-residents. yep, this is a great site to join, and you can count on many updates and photos about nyc here in this subforum all the time, and you'll never get tired of them.

and feel free to browse the entire website, i'm confident you'll find tons of stuff outside of the nyc subforum that'll appeal to you too!

thanks everyone :cheers1:

i began with my states love around my 12th because of a weird thing,pretty strange if you see in what kind of situation im involved now.
Anyway,i've never been to the States,have had a terrible time w/ GF and was going to school still.
i'm out of school at the moment,graduated what would be college in the u.s i think.
Lookin' for a fulltime job while i work part-time at a gasstation.
i don't have the money to come to NYC so soon.
I will most likely get there next year :hug:

Why didn't you sign up just when u found the forum? Welcome anyway. I live in the burbs of NY, and occasionally you can see Manhattan from my area, which is like 15-20 km away. Adding to 3tmk, at first I hated NY when I just came over to the city but I've grown to love it (in many things I love it now for the things I used to hate), and something that helped me get there were skyscrapers.

yeah well good question!
I occasionally visited Skyscraperpage only 'cause i liked it more,but i think this forum is much more active.
I followed everything daily like the photos and discussions but i didn't feel like i would want to reply also.
That has changed i thought what the heck so i registered :)
Where in the 'burbs do you live ??

I live in Elmwood Park, if that tells you anything. It's in northeastern New Jersey.

Elmwood Park...... i've heard of that place before...

?!!
how???

never heard of it but i'm going to look it up now :horse:

NYaddict- Welcome aboard.

When you come, everyone here will be happy to help you plan your trip and show you around. Untill that time comes keep the passion alive my friend! New York makes life worth living. -Holden

question : how does chicago compare to NYC in terms of living ?

NYC is more expensive on average but the atmosphere just isnt the same. Im a bit biased to say this but where else can you roll over to the Statue of Liberty, see the House that Ruth built, hang with Koffi Annan at the UN, get a dollar bill signed by Donald Trump? New York. Plus I hear that Chicago is quite windy. PS: Ghostbusters took place in NY, what more can I say. (probably alot if you provoked me)

I wonder what happened to him? :dunno:

Chicago is, IMO, the second greatest city in the country and it is a hell of a lot cheaper than NYC. A lot of people think Chicago gives you the best bang for your buck in terms of urban living in the country.
