Except for the hotel prices. And Thinkpad prices.

They need to go back to Staten Island and find one that fell off a truck. Tell ‘em Fat Tony sent you.

Hah, indeed, the story could have happened yesterday. Except maybe thinkpad prices in europe have normalized a bit ;)

What I didn't write is that my feelings towards the USA were 95% positive back then. A bit less after the chase and the Bronx visit, but still. Obama made everything feel hopeful. The current situation is just depressing.

The fun one one, where a Dutch parent feels it's safe to send 2 teenagers unaccompanied to the US for a brief visit.

Apart from safety, the rhetoric of the US government regarding the invasion of former allies has led a lot of people to try really hard to boycott as many American products as they can.
