My friend Helena Mignon, a former classmate who happens to study in Mexico for the second semester, decided to come to Boston and New York to celebrate her 23rd birthday. Now the funny part is that we don’t really know each other very well. Even though we were in the same class the first semester, I realized that we never talked to each other. And now, we’re going to visit NYC together. Wouldn’t you feel awkward to visit such city with someone you don’t really know? Well I guess this trip is my opportunity to know her better.
The main issue is she’s coming right in the middle of the week and therefore, I have to skip some classes in order to show her around. Of course most teachers gave me green light for skipping classes in exchange of extra work. Now the funny thing is that I warned them on the 1st of April and I would never thought that even teachers would take advantage of this special day to fool me.
The previous day before my trip to NYC was a rough day. I had to buy the tickets as well as the Hostel. This latter is so hard to find especially when you plan to stay for more then 4 days during Easter Sunday. However, with a bit of effort, I was able to find a little hostel right next to Central Park and a nice bus ride.
The trip to Boston lasted 4 hours or so with only one break. When we were about to arrive in NYC, the bus started to stop and go on almost every relight and I started to get really sick. Hopefully, I managed to hold my breakfast in my stomach and finding our hostel wasn’t that hard after all. After unpacking, we decided to visit NYC.
We first went to Ground 0. It was so windy and cold that we decided to go shopping next to that famous century 21. It’s a shop were almost everything is on sale. You can find almost anything you want from clothing to gift with a relatively cheap price. However, good luck in finding your right size. You can chose between XL, XXL, and XXXL (I didn’t know this latter could even exist).
Then we walk up the street up to the Empire state building. Like many touristic place, the Empire state building is an Iconic symbol of NYC. I believe this latter is one of the tallest building in NYC if not the highest. It also has a huge impact on American movie history with King Kong and other old style movie. The inside of the building is old school fashion style and it feels like you are living in a 1960 movie. It is so sixties that the architecture and design deserve big attention.
While we reached the top, NYC was drowning in the dark. Many little white light from tall building were drawing the cities. It was really breathtaking. We spent roughly 1-hour taking picture of the entire city.
Then it was already 0h00 and we ate nothing since we arrived. So we decided to eat at Wendy’s then come back to ou hostel, dead tired.
