Have actually reassessed many of my prejudices about the US. But one image has grown stronger day by day. That attitude and self-promotion really does make a difference here. Thought about it when i was to chose roomie for the spring. Someone came here looking. All through the viewing she asked terribly detailed questions and put critical comments about perfectly everything. Finally i got fed up. My god. This is a rental apartment in Alphabet City - and costs absolutely nothing. Wooden floor newly renovated kitchen and wireless is actually really really good.
Honestly i told her i would offer the apartment to swedish interns at first. And suddenly she changed completely. Incredibly charming nice positive open. Then i realised that even to find a simple rental apartment one has to work hard in this city. Not only to sign a website to have a letter sent home and a key in the hand. Quite the opposite. Its all about contacts personality chemistry timing talent. Everything.
