visit NYC

I visited NYC over the last weekend. Flied in on Sunday and returned on Monday.

Besides some personal business to take care of, I got roughly 2 hours to look around. I reviewed the NYC map. It is a little far from Wall Street. I was located in 59 Ave but Wall Street is to the south of Manhattan. The Point of interest within accessible range is either Time Square or UN HQ. I decided to go to Time Square.

I lost twice in NY metro. It was so confusing for tourists. In my impression, all trains head to the same direction if they depart from the same platform. I was so confused that I lost twice in the metro. Finally with help from Newspaper stand in Metro, I finally reached Time Square.

Looks like inside metro there are quite some people like me who do not know any direction at all. I think with new year's apporaching, many tourists storm NYC.

The weather was not good at all on Monday. It was cold as well. With such kind of weather I did not have much interest to spend a lot of time outside.

From my point of view NYC is ideal place for Finance guys. It is not a good place to live. The commute from New Jersey to NYC is just unbearable, I guess.

I still like San Francisco, the bay area.
