1.There are black squirrels in New York- We were walking in a park with our whole group. I spotted a black squirrel climbing a tree. I was amused by such a thing so i began to yell "Look everyone,black squirrel"!!!!!
2.Chanel is pronounced (sha-nell).-Mckenzie White,Mrs Farrell, and I were walking down some road in New York. I saw Chanel and told them that there is Chanel, except i pronounced it Channel. It then became a joke to us.
3.Revolving doors don't always go automatically- I went into one of the doors and stood there, but nothing happened. Mckenzie then informed me that I had to push the door. From then on,I was able to go through a door all on my own.
4.Don't be friendly with every person you see-Street vendors are the best example of this. When they came up to me and asked me to buy things,I learned that I could just keep walking.
5.New York is huge-Although this may seem like a dumb thing to learn,It actually became real to me how big it actually was. We were allowed to split up and roam the streets but Farrell thought it'd be a good idea to stay with her and the group.
6.Time Square has a Kmart-yes,it is true. This amazed us all.
7.Honking is illegal in some places in NYC-There were signs on some roads that read "Honking is $350 ticket."
8.People in NYC are crazy drivers-This is very true. There are so many buses,taxis,and people and drivers think they can drive like idiots.
9.People in New York have accents-I did not realize this before I went.
10.Flying isn't scary-I thought it was going to be much worse than it actually was.
I had a lot of fun in New York and realized it was much cooler than I expected.
Ashley, it sounds like the New York trip was quite the learning experience, hah.
ReplyDeleteThat astounds me that Time Square had a K-Mart, you'd think that there would be classier shops in that area...
It surprises me that honking is illegal consideringggggg it's New York City, and people probably honk more there than anywhere else. Nice.
HAHAHAHA all i can do is laugh about the trip! It was so fun! The black squirrel story almost made me cry. I will never for get that!
ReplyDeletehahahaha.. not gunna lie. I got to number three and HAD to laugh out loud before even reading the explanation. :) I can just imagine you standing in front of the VERY clearly non-moving door. It sounds like you had a great time and I hope you always remember these memories!
ReplyDeleteOh Ashley, such a good trip! I am glad you learned some great things, and I'm even more happy you decided to stay with the group. I wouldn't have wanted you to disappear in NYC! :)
