New York City is the spot that I have visited, returned to, and visited once

more. Out there in the city, I feel free. We started our trip by traveling from
Houston to New Jersey by airplane, then I traveled from New Jersey to New
York by train. I could not tell too much difference when I travel to New Jersey
but I can tell it was a huge difference in the train way to New York, it felt like I
was sitting on a train in one of a romantic book I have read especially I had my
significant other sat right next to me. Especially, when we were cutting through
the tunnel, it was dark as you got locked in a room without light and scared, my
wife makes me feel stronger by holding my hand. Living in America is an
awesome benefit; living in New York City is something further far better. As
you stumble up those stairs to the city roads and you catch that first breath of
city air, you proclaim to yourself, this is freedom.

The very first thing that got my attention about New York was the structures are
so incredibly tall and got everyone’s attention or even those who just passed by
here through this amazing Time Square. Where you can hear the noises from
people who try to sell the street foods, I can smell the fresh fried falafel just
came out from the fryer and the grilled gyro, shawarma, people walking and
talking on their phone, the honking. That was when I can tell why people have
been saying New York is the busiest and crowded place in the world. Even
though the whole city was too crowded we did not forget to spend some time
stopped in the middle of the street and smell the fresh New York Sunday’s
morning air. We were told by the people who lived here that today there are
already fewer people walking because it is the weekend, they said tomorrow
even busier. But I still think this city is pretty in its own way to the point that I
compared this place to a special piece of unique art that you cannot find
anywhere else but New York.

On our second day we continued to visit some of the places that we left over
yesterday. It was a hot day; we went to some of the souvenir shops and big
chocolate brand stores. I can smell the fresh made in store chocolate even from
outside of the store, I can feel that little piece of chocolate melting in my mouth
when I just see it. The smell and the amazing taste of it combined make me feel
so comfortable and lighter weight like I was flying for a moment.

New York also known by the city that attractive by may differently races in the
world moved in and brought their own culture and foods to the United States.
Especially, Taiwanese people took a larger population of New York, so we went
and tried out their food in Chinatown. I have to say that we both fell in love
with the dumpling taste right at the first bite into it, it is so soft as you have the
softest jelly in your mouth. We also had a chance to try out ramen which is also
popular food in New York from Japanese people brought over. I already smell
the broth that cooked over twenty hours from the beef bone when we enter the
door. Even the store was very busy, but we were greeted by the manager make
us feel like a special guest of the store. The ramen was nothing can compare, the
both was thick, sweet, and savory as I can tell where all the beef bone go after
that long time cooked in the slow cooker pot.

Buses and trains are also kind of unique in New York, instead of driving people
over here replaced with trains and buses. Most of them was built underground
so we took the stair to the buses and surprise it was like something magical in
Disney movie that I have watched, felt like we were in the movie, it was a well
structure built underneath the crowded city as New York, it was more light and
there was also vending machine, people talking the noises from the bus, some
people also try to sell some food down there, we both was so surprise as our
first time seeing something awesome like this but in real life, or because we just
used to drive our own car as everyone else does not live in New York. The train
took us back to the hotel we changed and went to a party. In New York I would
say people work hard but also play hard, they really know how to enjoy their
life. Some would hangout for dinner some would throw a party even though it is
not the weekend yet. I guess because instead of working eight hours per day,
most of them must work over ten hours per day to be able to live in this
expensive city. Most of the store will stay open until three a.m. remember we
went to get our late dinner at two a.m. and the employees still smile and have a
lot of energy make us feel like it is still daytime. Most of the experiences that I
have shared were about food and street because that was all about New York, a
crowded city that never sleeps. The sudden rain at the end of the day that we did
not expect it to happen, so we got all wet as everyone else who was also
walking on that street. So, we stopped by a restaurant to get some hot drinks and
wait until the rain is finally over. We walked out the door and we saw the
rainbow showed so clear after that rain was so poetic. On the way back to our
hotel, there was a guy doing comedy on the street so we stopped and watched.
He was funny as a bucket of monkey. In the end we gave him a couple of
dollars and continued on our way back to the hotel. New York at night time was
brighter than anywhere else, putting you in the mood like everyone is dancing
together in the club.
Throughout my essay, I have to say that we both felt in love with this place ever
seen. We had a very well spent time and happiness together on this trip, we are
in love with this crowded city, a city that never sleeps. Our plan is to work
harder and move to live here in this beautiful place for the rest of our life.
