My Vacation at New York
One week ago, I took a vacation to New York; it was the most unforgettable and amazing vacation of my entire life. New York is a beautiful place, People are very busy, and there are people from different countries walking on the street talking in their own language. It was imaging to listen to different languages at a time from different people. It seemed like everyone there was in a hurry to get to another place. Some people were waiting for trains; some were talking on the street while they are walking with friends, and some just came to visit New York. New York City is a great cultural exchange place, wonderful food, anything you want and more. I had a wonderful introduction to New York in my life. I sustained every minute I had spent around New York City. A few places to go to in New York are Times Square, Manhattan Bridge, and New York City subway, which were all amazing to me. I am going to explain about these places and why you should visit New York City.
The Time Square is one of the most powerful places in New York City. Time Square is also known for people gathering on New Year’s Eve night, especially for youth generation of the City. Every year, thousands of people come to the Time Square to celebrate New Year Eve night, and people get crazy when the clock strikes 12 o’clock on the last day of the year. Time Square is more attractive for a visitor. When I was at Time Square, it was 9 o’clock at night. I have seen uncountable visitors at night with various types of electronic devices. I was wondering around when I saw the light around the Time Square building and made me forget where I am right now. It was looking more beautiful when different ethic people taking pictures and helping each other to capture enjoyable moments into pictures. I was hanging with my brother-in-law and when we went there; I felt like I was just dreaming. I have seen Time Square on TV, but I never had a chance to physically go there spending time with different types of people. I do not know when I will able to go there to see and enjoy this charming place again. It was amazing and unbelievable.
Of course, Manhattan Bridge is the most beautiful bridge I have ever seen. When I went to see the Manhattan Bridge, it was almost evening and all the buildings around the bridge had beautiful lights is looking extremely beautiful to me. I was enjoying the view of the order of light in the building at Manhattan. I have seen three bridges, ordering by one after one and these bridges looked amazing in the dark. I had seen three helicopters that kept flying around these three bridges and my brother in law told me “These helicopters fly all day around the bridges”. I spent more than two hours at the Manhattan Bridge because the longer I stayed; the more curious I become to spend more time around these bridges. I took some picture with my brother -in-law.
Another thing to see is the subway train; I had so much fun spending time in New York City subway. Especially in the subway, I heard so many different languages from different people and I felt like I was in a different world. I went to the Time Square from Brooklyn by the subway. I saved lots of money by using the subway train and I saved my time by using subway. In the subway, I didn’t have to wait for a train for more than five munities. The subway made traveling extremely easy for the city’s people. New York City symbolized the United States, the greatest country on earth. I longed to see it. I wanted to even live there some day. Although this is my first visit to the city, I feel that there is something very special about New York City. The cultural diversity has made it possible that we can find just about anything we may want. There is always something for everyone. For example, New York has a wonderful variety of restaurants for just about every type of food we can imagine
I’m so proud to see the economic growth in New York City. Today the United States of America is regarded as a global economic leader. The standard of living in the U.S. is higher than that of most other nations. Our nation is considered an economic super-power. Don’t forget that immigrants have played major roles in building and contributing to our economy. The overwhelming majority of immigrants including more recent immigrants enter the United States in search of jobs by working hard to have a chance at a better life for themselves and their families. I believe our economy will continue to grow, directly or indirectly, by the continuing inflow of immigrants. It is this cultural diversity that has helped shape the nation and contributed to make our country more competitive and stronger.

We all felt fear for ourselves, each other, and communicated as a team. I felt prideful to be a New Yorker, but it took a turbulent experience to feel this. I experienced this sense of community a few weeks later in Midtown when a fake cab driver pepper sprayed me in hopes of taking my wallet. Shaking in pain as I escaped the car and blindly walked into a bar for help, New Yorkers rose again and ran to assist me. As three men chased the car and a group of women aided my eyes, I noticed the kind hearts of strangers once again.…

Living in New York is a breath of fresh air, and all its conveniences have been cool as a cucumber in my experience.

New York, New York! I am finally done with high school and can enjoy a relaxing vacation with my best friend. “The stories of this place are so cool!” Said Octavia. “I know! Like the one about Philippe Petit, the guy who walked across the Twin Towers on a steel cable!” I told her(Abbott 10). We arrived at our hotel room at 8:30 am, and we had a tour of the city at 9. We had to start getting ready. “Our room has a balcony!” Yelled Octavia. The view was breathtaking. Every gust of wind that hit my face made me want to live in New York forever. It was 8:40, and I hadn’t even started getting ready because I was taking in the view. “Look,” I said to Octavia. We both turned around to take a glimpse at the beautiful Twin Towers when at 8:46 a plane…

I don’t travel very much at all but my parents managed to send me on the trip as a kind of graduation gift, a great traveling experience and the sightseeing part of the trip was amazing. We went toured all over the city, went to see plays, and visited a lot of famous places. I had only seen New York on TV or in pictures but I loved being able to actually go there. Just watching TV or seeing pictures on a screen cannot compare at all to actually standing at the top of the Rockefeller Center and being able to see all of Manhattan and the surrounding area as far as you can see, the same can be said about Times Square. Going to these two places were some of my favorite things that we did, along with seeing the Blue Man Group, going to Chinatown, and walking up and down Fifth Avenue. I had a great time actually being able to see and experience everything for myself, but there are more reasons as to why I loved that trip so much.…

Diaries are the autobiographies of our lives, meant to be confidential, private, and written with the utmost honesty. I employ the nature and format of the diary in order to emphasize the consequences that result from a lack of social interaction. My rhetor, as well as the majority of the other characters, lack a name, this serves as a tool to underline the content and message of the story rather than the superficial details.
