Like I said before everything ends, but while it is ending it leaves off a great memory. I really like New York and enjoy everyday of it.
Today we walked through 5th avenue, but unfortunately I didn’t get to buy anything. The shops were great. It’s just like Iran; shops are everywhere. We saw Central park, what a beauty. Anyway, we had another great day.
We will leave New York tomorrow morning. It will be a long drive for us to get back to VA. Though I don’t think my family and I care. We are together, that’s what we care about.

Among the faces are many nationalities. Since New York is a big crowded city, it is easier to realize the many cultures and nationalities of people. There is so much diversity that you never feel different, even if you?re a foreigner.

From the top of the Empire State building New York is even prettier. It is alive with the heart of its people. From the top everything is both incredible and memorable.
Night
At night the city is full of lights. People are walking, talking on their cell phones, or eating. If it wasn?t dark you would think it is still morning.

It’s a crowded city with busy people. The streets are packed with cars, taxis, and buses, surrounded by tall buildings. There are many cultures amongst the crowd. Metros and taxis are used often, unlike Virginia in which you barely see a taxi on the road. What I like most about New York is that it’s alive. You can see life as you pass any street. I also like it because I like crowded cities. And it does remind me of Iran; its crowdiness, its traffic, and its shops.
I wonder what it’s like to live in New York. Maybe I’ll try it one day.
The ship on the Hudson River was great. All around the water you see New York’s tallest buildings, the statue of liberty, and the Empire State building. There was a constant wind that brought everyone to life. As I looked I wanted to jump out and fly on top of the water. It must be a joy to be a bird.
