Finally we see a American-like city. By saying this, I mean that we thought the united states is a country where skyscrapers are everywhere. Actually, this only happens in New York.
New York is the largest city in America. It is the economical, financial and cultural center of the United States, even the Earth. It is always regarded as an international city along with London and Paris. Take a look at Wall Street, the financial heart that drives the country.
Before visiting Wall Street, we took a boat tour to the Statue of Liberty. It used to be the first thing new immigrants see when they arrive in the New World. It is located on an isolated island - you can arrive there by boat only.
What's that building like Triumphal Arch? New York University. We didn't stay there long because of time.
In the afternoon we visited the headquarter of the United Nations. We were able to visit the Security Council and several exhibitions.
The beautiful and elegant campus is Columbia University's.
Attention, Apple fans! See the Apple Store? That's 5th Ave. I visited Central Park alone. But it's winter, so the scenery was not nice.
At night we visited the Times Square. Only there can you see so many big screens. But don't imagine how big it is - it's only a junction!
