It's long that anyone posted some topics here. :(
So I thought I'll take the initiative to write something, cause my semester practically got over today. Last week I , together with a few friends went to visit New York and Washington. We rented a car on Sunday April 20th and headed to New York at around noon. In be
tween we stopped to some place in Connecticut to have a small break and then we continued o
ur journey to New York. We reached New Jersey at around 4 in the evening and checked in our Hotel. After an hour's rest we headed to New York. We were at Times Square at around 7pm. Times square was full of people even though it was a Sunday evening. The place near times square rocks. We park our car in the 7th avenue and amazingly we got free parking. :)We walked around in times square watching the most c
olorful American city. Then we headed towards the Rockefeller cen
tre . We had to walk 2 blocks to get there from times square. There is a beautiful garden in front of Rockefeller center and behind there are flags of all the countries which are decorated in white lights. Then it was the time to go to the top of the rock, on the roof of Rockefeller center. We had to stand in a huge queue before we entered the building. We went thorough a minor security check before we got in. There again we had to wait in a long queue before we could step in the high spe
ed elevator to finally reach the top of the rock (well... at least to the 63rd floor. The elevator doesn't go to the top). We walked around there f
or a while before we finally took the escalator to reach the top. The view from there was fantastic. I would suggest whoever gets a chance to come to New York must go there during night for the view. It is worth your money and effort :)At around 11 in the night, we were out in the streets of New York and surprisingly we found out that even New York sl
eeps as most of the shops were closed, but luckily the Burger King near our c
ar was open. Then we drove to ground zero, to see the remnants of the world trade center. They are still trying to clear the area and it looks so sad. But they are planning to build a new world trade center in the same place by 2012.Then we headed for the battery park to get a view of the Statue of Liberty at night. But it's actually too far from there to get a good picture. So we headed back to our hotel with the plan to visit Statue of Liberty and other places in New York on the next day.
To be continued...
