TRAVEL BLOG 2

Dear diary ♥
I realise now that four days in this paradise is not enough, it's so much to see here! Today we went on one of those sightseeing busses. We figured that it would be the best way to see and learn about the city in such a short time. I have learned so much about this city and state that i didn't know before today. New York is actually the biggest city in the whole USA, and it has about 8,5 million citizens. And did you know that over 40 million people visit the city every year. I guess we are not the only tourists here.

The mayor in New York City is Michael Bloomberg, he is 68 years old now and one of the world's richest men. New York is a very important city when it comes to business, the city has one of the world's most important stock institutes, and New York Stock Exchange is biggest stock market in the world. This Stock Exchange is actually not electronic, so if you want to buy stocks you have do it face to face on the stock exchange floor. New York is also an important city when it comes to culture, many of the world's most famous artists are from New York, and many of the world's most known theaters and museums are in this city. For example Broadway, I think that we are going to get tickets to see a play there tomorrow.

I also learned a little bit about New York as a state today, and The United States of America. The state is in the northeastern region of the USA, and with an area that is around 128403 km2, it is the 27th biggest state in the USA, and it has more than 19 million citizens. Something I did not know was that New York City is not the capital city of New York, it is actually a smaller city called Albany. The capital has an population for about only 95 000, that is a big difference for New York City.

Well i think that was enough information for today, i can't believe that I remember all this things! We also drove past all the big sights today, but i think that we are going to visit some of them tomorrow so perhaps I can talk more about them then.
Sweet dreams ♥
