Wall Street and the World Cup
I was walking through Wall St. this morning and couldn’t help but notice that they had replaced some of the american flags with the flags of the FIFA World Cup finalist.
Good to know the NY Stock Exchange is not only about money and profits. The Dow Jones index has been going up for three straight days, let’s see how it opens up on Monday after a new World Cup champion.
World Cup 2010
Yes, we have another World Cup going on. I think asides from Germany playing Australia there has been no interesting match so far. It is true that this just got started and Brazil and Spain haven’t played yet. But I was expecting something more. We will see how this goes on.
People are really living this World Cup in NYC. I was at Nevada Smith this Sunday watching Germany and I must admit the ambiance was spectacular. People from a bunch of different origins watching the game. “Ghana is going to beat Germany” said one girl, not quite I think. Pictured below is a picture from Nevada Smith on Sunday right after the game ended.
There is this annoying noise from the bubuzelas. You are watching the game and there is this permanent noise coming from this things, you can’t listen to people singing anymore.
Coffee
I have been living in NYC for some time now. I must admit it was hard for me to get used to coffee in the City. I have tried Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and some others which I don’t recall. I must admit I have found really good coffe at Pret. It’s all organic , tasteful coffee beans. Size of a cup of coffee is not expensive either, less than two dollars for a large. I am not able to understand how people is so obsessed with Starbucks, I really don’t think coffee quality is as good as Pret.
