Insights from a New York City Adventure
By: carmen Vestergaard
New York was awesome but it was a lot different than I thought it would be. All the people
who lived there seemed to be very angry all the time. And everywhere we went had a
very strong smell and it usually wasn’t pleasant. Also in the short time I was there I heard
more honking then I have in my entire life. Other than that and all the rats it was truly an
amazing city.
The first thing me and my sister
wanted to do in New York was
to go into M and M world.
There were 2 floors and they
sold anything from M and M’s
with your name on them to M
and M plush toys ,coffee cups
and candy dispensers. There
were also several large M and M
statues. Inside it smelled like
when you first open a bag of
chocolates, it smelled delicious.
…Yum!!

Central Park
Unlike the Museum of Natural
History I thought Central Park
looked very similar to how it does
in most movies. The big trees and
the recently cut green grass was
the perfect place to have a picnic
except for…
The rats
they were everywhere. We were
there for about 10 minutes and I
counted 7 of them, they were as
common as squirrels. Running
around on the grass as people had
there picnics or on the ground
beside the benches people were
sitting at. The people didn’t even
seem to notice or care. Central
park was beautiful but I'm not in a
rush to get back there.

The subway was like a dirty
underground sky train. It was
dark and smelled like an
outhouse. It felt like every step
you took echoed all the way
through the long tunnel. But it
was still pretty cool.
One of the mornings we
went on the to see the
circle
line tour boat/
Statue of
Liberty. Even though we had
to wake up at 7:30 (4:30
Vancouver time)it was still
really hot. Once we got
moving and the wind was
blowing against our hair and
our hot skin it cooled down.
The view of the city was amazing because
you saw things you didn’t see when your
right underneath the buildings. And from
the city the Statue of Liberty just looks like
a small green speck instead of a beautiful
and detailed statue.
Things I didn’t put in the slides
Hunger Games exhibition
Museum of natural history
Dylan’s candy bar
The food
Empire state building
The Mett
The MOMA

Exploring New York City through the eyes of a visitor reveals contrasting experiences - from the hustle of the subways to the charm of M&M World, and the surprises of Central Park and a boat ride to the Statue of Liberty. Despite the quirks and challenges, the city's allure shines through in unexpected ways.
