New York, Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge
any of your thousands of miles traveled
, New York, like you do not understand.
entered the New York City to can not help but think of money. Fifth Avenue busy, the world's top brands are squeezed in here, when on sale, even the British Queen will open a special plane to shopping. walk up the city, with luxury was Great Zhaizi beyond imagination, which like the dazzling light like gold, sliding door wearing black uniforms meticulous, elegant. do not need to see people who live there, the owner can think of the value of a solid net worth astronomical. Beyond to walk, to the black area, there is no window to see the house, and to see people who do not work, I heard the story of a murder robbery, single mothers, drug abuse, arson, all of the stories are a theme: Blame is no money! Greenwich Village has seen first. where the old house more than a century of history, covered with ivy green side face red brick walls, air and sun leaves have a rich flavor evaporation intertwined. There was a bunch of careless poor artists to make money, shaking all day on the streets where the old, wooden windows in the open before the writing, in the narrow dark street corner coffee shop on the show is not sold for money and for the painting. Gradually, this place out of the name, gradually, this became a tourist area, full of silly around all over the tourists. So, the artists moved to the poorer SoHo to open up their own new world, until the prices rise SoHo , the coffee more expensive, they retreated to the East Village, a place to chill not rich atmosphere. This way, you can see how money and the art of war, the money to buy art do not sell, the money will buy, art turned to go.

However, this dirty mess of steel monster is the most efficient delivery of a world public transport system: 25 lines, 468 stations, covering almost every corner of urban, low fares, punctuality punctuality.

Therefore, the feeling in New York simply can not or do not like like to describe. You can hate it, but it can not not be attracted by its beauty and ugliness, its rich and monotonous, it is too much freedom and too much publicity alert caution. sometimes seem like a senile old people walk the road , glow time, but the vitality of Maotouxiaohuo; sometimes cruel like a meat grinder machine, but when the warmth like a grandmother's smile; sometimes as mouthwatering as the spring flowers, autumn leaves when the index revealed a lonely but hh What is like, and what are not; what is, and what is not. all of the emotions, the ups and downs, rise or fall, all in the same attitudes of both time and space, Chen, Subway both.
