and W.D.C

2009 – student from grade

two

Last year I had a chance to visit New

York City and Washington D.C.

thanks to our school ČRG.

My first impression when we were landing at the airport JFK in New York City was that we were landing somewhere in the fields. But

after gettingout from the airport and entering Manhattan,

I could see a completely different world.

The world where no-one cares what you look like, whether

you wear a mink coat and flip-flops or a

suit and trainers. The world everyone walks

at red lights and out of crossing in. The world I have

never dreamed of.

I was most surprised with the number of fast-food

restaurants. There were not so many ones how everybody says and certainly they were

not full of obese people.

The centre is full of cafes, restaurants and hotels, of course. All classes

of them, from the cheapest ones to the luxurious ones,

like Plaza, Trump…

The size of skyscrapers is

incredible. All the days

I was walking with my

head turned up.

The night New York was probably my biggest experience. All the neon sings, illuminating and Times Square, of course. To see the night life in N.Y.C. had

always beenmy, now fulfilled, dream.

The biggest shopping mall in

the world - Macy's impressed me very

much. A luxury seven-storey

shopping mall was divided into ladies',

men's and children's floors. Then furniture,

accessories, Christmas goods

andrelax floor…

I should also mention Empire State Building –

mainly because of its security that was more

sophisticated than those one at Ruzyně Airport. The night view of

New York was stunning but on the 86th floor there were too many people

to beeven able to move.

This New York City visit is sure to be

my most beautiful experience.

I recommend visiting this wonderful city to

everyone.
