I can still remember the empty and lonely feeling I had all the time, knowing nobody and not being able to fly home. But I was able to get a lot of programming done, what else could I really do?

>>No, I was not feeling ill, but I had this strange feeling in my stomack. It was a feeling if dispair, like I had the lost control of my own freedom. I am used to be able to do whatever I want, and travel wherever I want whenever I want. And all of a sudden I was stuck with no possibility to go home. I felt like I was some kind of a prisoner in the largest prison in the world. And with nothing but terrorism on the news, and nobody really knew if more attacks could come, there was no "party mood" either, most people were more or less depressed.

>I see what you mean. Not a good time.

I can't imagine ANYONE (except Al q'ida) was in a "party mood" after that terrible event. I remember the streets here were quiet, everyone looking sad, shocked and dazed, no fivolity or high spirits. I think everyone was sort of numb.
