I went the march before the world trade towers were destroyed and i must say it felt amazing on arival, like a fairytale. It was snowing. It’s so huge its really amazing to see. The american’s are so cool. It’s like a chat show when you walk down the street! The cafe’s are lovely and friendly, but the only downfall is that everywhere you go is fastfood, i prefer to see real food outlets. I went in macys and got stuck because the exit is on floor 1.5 and the lifts go 123 etc… to get the 1.5 you have to take the stairs! They trap you in there with there sales people. It was a good laugh trying to find the way out though :) There are some amazing sites and you feel a million dollars walking through new york, just because it’s so prosperous! I went in some top named stores like gucci and browsed, very entertaining! A shirt with a white splat of paint for like $3000 or something ridiculous lol. The toy store is amazing also, never seen anything like it, it’s like the biggest i’ve ever seen in my life! Probably the world! Yes the hotel was like a palace and the flight was really nice, i slept straight through the turbulence. Did have jet lag when i got back though and felt kind of sad to be back in the UK after being in such a romantic and dreamlike place. I had a great laugh with my freinds and will never forget this trip! I actually went with my sixth form as part of an outing as i was doing A level drama at the time. This is why we got to see loads of different things. Amazing expereince!! Would recommend Highly!!
