Hi there!
Yeah. I guess I actually do have some news for you. As far as I got some things clear now, I could try to enter Canada as a visitor. But even if they will let me in, they will track my steps, and I can't do any work till I get a work permit. And, of course, if I'll work before I get the permit, and something bad happens, me and some farmer will be in more than just 'some' trouble.
First step, for the permit, is a criminal check from the Dutch Ministry of Justice, via my home town hall. Which may take weeks. And after that, there's still the application for the permit itself. Which takes weeks. For sure. Guess NewYork will get to know me a little better. Or is it the other way around? :)
And after an unknown number of weeks, I should be able to pick up my old plan.
Still no pictures. 'Cause till last Thursday, there was this mix of hope, and thoughts, in me, which made me believe I was leaving the US in this past weekend. That's why I hadn't made the phone call to get my bag from Halifax into NY again. But now my bag should be on its way tomorrow.
I'm staying at a friends (Irene) place in the Bronx now. Hope I can find some illegal work to keep the costs of staying in this expensive city down. Plus, I want to have something to do too. Something more than visiting the laundromat, which I will do tomorrow. One of those real one's, you know. With huge washing machines. And two hours waiting.
By the way, spring has been hitting this city the past week; lots of the trees are in full pinkish bloom. Am enjoying some spring air in my t-shirt and summer jacket, walking around some blocks, here in the Bronx. Or in Harlem, where Irene works.
Show you some pictures as soon as possible.
For now, good night.
