Inside(r) New Jersey - Japanese Buffet Restaurant
Here is an insider tipp for a Japanese Buffet Restaurant in New Jersey:
MINADO (One Valley Road, Little Ferry, NJ 07643)
They serve a buffet with all different kinds of Sushi, Sashimi, California Rolls, Soups, Deep Fried/Grilled/Fried Seafood, Vegetables, Fresh Fruits, Beef, Pork, Mussles and a whole lot more!
The dessert is absically a variety of miniature cakes, ice cream, or freshly made crepese with a filling of your choice (e.g. strawberries and chocolate sauce, mandarin oranges, chocolate chips,... but no lemon! I was a bit sad about that for that's my favorite kind of crepe: Lemon and Sugar!)
It's -again- worth the trip, and bring your empty belly ready to be filled with you :)

Inside(r) Chinatown - Chinese Restaurants
Restaurant insider tipps for your stay in NYC!
1) Hop Kee Restaurant (21 Mott Street New York, NY 10013)
2) The Peking Duck House (28 Mott Street New York, NY 10013)
..both very good chinese restaurants!
Hop Kee rather specializes on deep fried dishes, but also serves "regular" seafoods or whatever...
People like Bill Crosby or Conan O'Brian have already eaten there..
A quite hidden restaurant, for you have to go downstairs, but there is a big sign saying "HOP KEE" so you'll probably not miss it!
The Peking Duck House is not far from Hop Kee and specializes on (surprise!) Peking Ducks which are served with a brown sauce (forgot the name), fresh cucumber stripes, green onion stripes and a kind of tortilla... It tastes really good, but funny thing is: they just cut off the skin and some meat, but most of the meat goes back into the kitchen and from there I don't know where else.. weird! But it tastes really good and the duck skin is super crispy!
Two good places to go if you crave Chinese food :)

Inside(r) Chinatown - Hair Cut
So dear readers, here's a super insider tipp for whenever you need a quick, beautiful and CHEAP haircut while staying in NYC.
Go to the "Beauty Salon New York City", which I cannot find on Google, but it is near Bayard St and Mulberry St.
A haircut there costs 10$! YES, 10$, which equals maybe 8 Euros!
And the lady who cut my hair was so good!
She really knew what she was doing (unlike some hair dressers in Germany).
I was looking for a hair salon with asian hair dressers, for I think they know hair best and they know best how to cut hair!
She was awesome!
...but I do not think there are a lot of foreigners (= not Chinese people haha) coming there, but the people there first thought my mom's Chinese. At least something, but probably disappointing not getting any answer in Chinese when the lady talked to her in Chinese.
In Germany you really have to tell the people what to do, here I only said:
I would like layers, please.
She only asked me if it was fine for me if she cut my hair to a certain lenghth, but that was it! No conversations and chitchat (things I HATE when being in a hair salon).
She simply cut my hair, and it really looks healthy now!
In Germany you tell the people to do so, but in the end they only cut off an inch and ask for 50+ Euros.
This was real quality to a more than fair price!
..Oh, and if someone would like to get his or her hair colored there: Long hair costs 30$.
So, I really suggest you to go there!
The whole procedure takes about 30 - 40 minutes, you could really just go there, if you would want to rest and get a hair cut at the same time!

NYC
Hello dolls!
I have now spent 2 weeks in NY (and NYC), and wanted to give my opinion on how I see and feel the city so far:
First, the reason why I am here is that I am currently an intern in a law firm in the Empire State Building, and YES I am still alive, although there was a shooting a week ago right at the time I would normally have gone to work (and entered the building).
But Friday is my day off, so lucky me!
I feel, that NYC is such a busy city! Everyone's roaming around, business people are RUNNING (that's what they call "walking") through the streets, and I catch myself murmuring "'scuse me, 'scuse me" and pushing myself through the masses, or at least try not to get stomped down by the running business people.
It's a beautiful city, but even as an intern you get a good feeling of what it must be like to work in a city like NYC. The attorney I am working with is working 60 to 70 hours a week!
I guess it really is something else when you're on vacation in NYC, for you have a lot more time and energy to capture the beauty of the city :)
Shopping here is of course also awesome and not as expensive as in Europe (also because the $ is not as high as the Euro).
I got a couple of new things, and am really happy about it.
However, I try not to write a novel here, but I'll just try to post my "insider tipps" I try to figure out while I'm staying here so you could be more prepared when you should come here some time soon ;)
Have a good night.
