I never felt like a foreigner," [Birgit] adds. "And we've managed to live quite a normal life, we've walked a lot. New York is the whole world in one city - I love walking here. "I often cook myself, because I like to eat normal food and whenever it pleases me. Of course we like to go to "La Goulue" and "Eat", but we also like little places."

I also read, newspapers mostly."
