Sorry, think I posted this twice by mistake - is there anyway I can delete my own posts. I'm unable to figure this one out. All assistance appreciated.
April/May is still far away but thats when i usually go. Inshalla. Until then my coffeeshop's at the corner of 175th and broadway. I'm a dutch nuyorican living in a dominican neighborhood. We probably got something to talk about. rightrue.
OK let's talk 1) Will you be going to A'dam end of Aril? 2) Are you a coffeeshop owner or do you work there? 3) Where you born in Holland - how do you explain your Dutch/NuYorican connection? Your mother/father born in Holland? Talk soon
1. probably 2. you misunderstand me but no, neither 3. yes, yes and yes. i moved to Pr in 1981 (after living in australia and saudi arabia). Moved to NYC 1997. I always wanted to live in NYC cuz of Sesame Street.
Ok, I get it now - your coffeeshop's at the corner of 175th and broadway, cool. I too was in Saudi Arabia during the early 1980's working there for a California company. What were you doing in the Kingdom. Is Washington Heights in Brooklyn or the Bronx - I have not been in NYC in 40 years. Please excuse my lack of NYC knowledge - I guess I could look it up, but, you tell me. Where in holland were you born? My next door neighbor was born in Scheveningen.
The Heights are in Manhattan. Uptown baby. Born in De Pijp, Amsterdam. I was just minding my own business in Jeddah, playing with the other kids in the compound, making houses out of discarded refrigerator boxes, exploring old turkish forts; i was 8. Our next door neighbor was Idi Amin. We used to see him at the supermarket.
Manhattan, of course, I was born in Manhattan at Belleview Hospital. I spent some time in Jeddah, spent most of my time in Riyadh. The Kindom can get old in a hurry, if you know what I mean! Were your parents in the military, diplomats or something? I mean, PR, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Amsterdam - you have done some moving around dude.
