Alpman Ilker on Why He Loves Living in New York

July 28, 2018 by Mandy

I have always been interested in why people love where they live so much, personally I feel that I could live in most environments and be happy, whether that be out in the sticks or in the heart of a bustling city. I recently had a chat with my good friend Alpman Ilker who has lived in New York all of his life. I asked Alpman what it was that he loves so much about living in the Big Apple, and here is what he had to say on the matter.

Variety of Cultures

For Alpman he feels like New York is actually a condensed world in itself, with just about every race and nationality represented here. What he loves most however is the way that these cultures so perfectly intertwine with one another, under the umbrella of New York city. Although there are various areas and districts which are occupied by similar cultures, Little Italy for example, it isn’t strange to see a street with restaurants, bars and shops, which are owned and operated by a wide array of nationalities.

Commuting

Many cities have problems with public transport but Alpman tells me that for him, New York has got their transport system just right. My friend commutes to and from work each day and tells me that he has a great many options in front of him from busses to underground, which can get him to work on time, and without any hassle at all.

Entertainment

New York is the home of Broadway and has one of the most exciting music scenes in the world. This for Alpman is yet another reason why he loves the city so much. Whether you are watching a music legend at Madison Square Garden, a stage show on its opening night in Broadway, or an up and coming musician in a small bar in Greenwich Village, there is always something going on and he considers New York to be the home of entertainment.

Opportunities

My friend stresses that New York really is the city where dreams can come true and this is what attracts so many people to NYC. The level of opportunities here for just about every profession are immeasurable and those looking to succeed in the arts, finance, marketing or even entrepreneurs, can all thrive here. Whilst there is heavy competition in a city of this size, there is also a huge amount of infrastructure in place to provide you with the tools you need to find success.

The Buzz

Finally Alpman talks about the loving the buzz of the city, its relentless and its constant activity which he describes as being like the heartbeat of the city itself. I would be quite happy to live in the countryside with a slow paced life, but for my buddy Alpman, this would be his worst nightmare and he is best at home when he is surrounded by some organized chaos.

How to Inject Some Thrills into Your Life

March 22, 2018 by Mandy

Moms get sick stains and odd odors, tantrums, sleepless nights and upturned dinner plates, but these are certainly closer to ‘spills’ than ‘thrills.’ Between domestic bumbling and vocational toil, it might be difficult to capture moments of pure thrilling excitement like those experienced in your youth – difficult, but far from impossible, as this article will show. Here are a few ideas for fun and thrilling activities for busy moms who fancy a little boost of adrenaline amidst busy schedules that can at times feel a little overwhelming and limiting.

Extreme Sports

Starting off with the most adrenaline-pumping of all the options, there’s nothing better to get the pulse quickened. Nothing makes you feel alive more than taking a risk, albeit within stringent safety rules. One way to do so is through the world of adrenaline sports. You’ve got whitewater rafting and kayaking, go-karting and mountain biking, skydiving and paragliding that are all likely within a drive and certainly within a flight from your location. So, why not give yourself the mother of all thrills and join the select group of people who’d describe themselves as ‘adrenaline junkies’ – even for just a day.

Exciting Games

We’re not talking chess or patience here! There is a wealth of well-developed and exciting games out there that are tailored for the thrill-seekers of this world. Take the Greenville Escape Room – a devious set of mysteries and challenges that’ll put your skills of logic through their paces before the time runs out to escape the room. Or, how about a murder mystery night with friends (maybe a group of moms!) where each of you plays a character in a murder plot that unravels over an evening of wine and merriment. There’s plenty of plots to be found on the internet to get you started.

Place a Bet

Gambling can seem a little like a male preserve but heading to a casino, in person with friends or over the internet, can give you a great little social buzz. It’s, of course, paramount to be sensible and knows when to cut your losses or take your winnings away with you. Games of chance that give you a thrilling run for your money, like watching a roulette ball spin before it settles, can be a pleasant little dose of excitement. You could even channel your inner James Bond at the poker table with friends – as much of a social event as anything else.

Go to Events

Large-scale events, such as music festivals, sporting fixtures, political rallies or community get-togethers immerses you in a crowd of people coming together for the same aim. There’s something uniquely thrilling about being a bobbing head in a massive sea of people, whether it’s cheering at a baseball game or dancing to one of your favorite bands. Buy some tickets and put some dates on your calendar and revel in the joy of being part of a throng.

Inject some excitement-fostering thrills into your life with these four tips that’ll give you a spurt of energy and joy that you can take into other areas of your life.
