Big Apple


A few thoughts about my favourite destination, not surprisingly New York. One of the great things (and free of charge!) is to take the Staten Island Ferry to the island and back. Wonderful views in and out of Manhattan.


 Subway network takes you almost anywhere, the busses are nice too, but there's no better way to wander all around Manhattan than bicycle, weather allowing. There are lots of rental shops available, and one-day cost should be less than 88 dollars.

New York is full of everything. One of the coolest music stores can be found right next to the Times Square. Jon Baltimore is worth visiting for anyone!
















It's not every day you see double-headed saxophone! There are even smaller number of double-headed sax players out there, substantially less than 88, I think.








For another Atlantic crossing you had better fuel up your reserves. The night flight back to east is equally exciting as it is exhausting.


"And the two will become one.." One World Trade Center, totalling 1776 ft and 541 meters, makes you pause for a moment, and pay respect to all concerned building up this mega-scraper. There's nothing modern architecture and engineering cannot achieve.
