The Big Apple (USA) Bachelor
New York - USA, 2/10/1998
are five days in New York
, which coincide with my last five days of travel.
Entry to USA was strange, because in the control of migration did not like too much to have so many stamps from Arab countries in the
passport, and did not understand as a student could be traveling the world for 6 months.
made the mistake of not answering a question from
form of customs
(they did not understand) and I went to the baggage check. The officer repeated all the questions that had already made the man of migration, and now wanted me to disarm my backpack. Imagine that with so many months of travel, that was impossible to close, so I told him that if he opened it, he'd have to close. Looked both ways and let me pass.
traveled in the Big Apple its typical places: the
Empire State Building (excellent
view of the city
- if they go up for night
forget to take good pictures), the Madison Square Garden
( Instead of the biggest events
), the theaters
of
Broadway (which are centrally
sale of tickets
in a large office), the Church of San Patricio
, and a finite building
(
Flatiron Building) in a corner
which always appears in the movies. We were in
Twin Towers (World Trade Center
) in Chinatown
the
Brooklyn Bridge
of the Statue of Liberty
, and Wall Street
held (
NY Stock Exchange).
A little culture with
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA
) And the Metropolitan
, referring to the international level.
The Central Park
really
giant, according to the city: the buildings are tall, very long and wide streets, the huge advertising billboards, and transit
chaotic (high noise pollution). And the American flag everywhere.
when boarding the bus
not expect the driver will lead the word, and bring change just because you have to pull the four 25-cent coins into a funnel, and no other way to pay the ticket. The underground
not convey much security, so avoid using it at night. It's like something out of a movie
vapor coming from the sewers of the Metro.
morning we walked towards the Central Park went against the grain of
people moving into the financial center, and it was crazy. The city has more than 8 million inhabitants, and in the metropolitan area are nearly 22 million people.
When visiting San Francisco are more marginalized than poverty, but here are two things. People who are outside society and others who really need money.
