unique

One thing that you do a lot of in this city, whether you like it or not, is walk. The distances are longer than you might think and you don’t always feel like enjoying the wonderful pubilc transportation system (don’t even get me started on taking a taxi). So what do I do? I walk. I try to walk as much as I can each and everyday. Well maybe not everyday, somedays I visit the gym and those days I try to be nice to myself and get myself out of walking everywhere. Be nice to your body and listen to it when it tells you that it’s tired.

So today, eventhough I went to the gym this morning, I felt like walking down to Union Square after my morning class. The wether was nice and I had nothing else planned so I had the time, so I thought I might as well walk. Why not!?

On my way over there I went throught Madison Square Park, which is a lovel park by the way, and I noticed that there we a lot of construcion workers around the park. Getting further and further in to the park I realized that they were bulding treehouses in some of the trees. The all looked something like this:

I’m sure you understand that the setting wasn’t quite as relaxing and idyllic as this one but you get the picture. Now, I have no idea why they were building treehouses that no one could ever reach, especially not children, and why they are doing it in the middle of the city. It must be a part of some kind of commersial stunt or some other kind of city propaganda. Don’t get me wrong, it looked nice, I just do understand. Hopefully, bu the time they’re ready, they will put of posters explaining why they are there.

Aren’t treehouses nice by the way? I could really see myself living in a tree, or at least use it as my summer house. I can imagine the feeling about a treehouse being kind of the same feeling as with a houseboat. It might be fun in the beginning, you’re definately one of a kind and original, but I’m not sure how long it would work. I’m not even sure a treehouse is safe. Anyway, as much as they look cute, maybe we should just leave the treehouse industry to the children…
