1. New York City and W.D.C TEREZA KADLECOVÁ 2009 – student from grade two

2. Last year I had a chance to visit New York City and Washington D.C. thanks to our school ČRG.

3. My first impression when we were landing at the airport JFK in New York City was that we were landing somewhere in the fields. But after getting out from the airport and entering Manhattan, I could see a completely different world.

4. The world where no-one cares what you look like, whether you wear a mink coat and flip-flops or a suit and trainers. The world everyone walks at red lights and out of crossing in. The world I have never dreamed of.

5. I was most surprised with the number of fast-food restaurants. There were not so many ones how everybody says and certainly they were not full of obese people.

6. The centre is full of cafes, restaurants and hotels, of course. All classes of them, from the cheapest ones to the luxurious ones, like Plaza, Trump…

7. The size of skyscrapers is incredible. All the days I was walking with my head turned up.

8. The night New York was probably my biggest experience. All the neon sings, illuminating and Times Square, of course. To see the night life in N.Y.C. had always been my, now fulfilled, dream.

9. The biggest shopping mall in the world - Macy's impressed me very much. A luxury seven-storey shopping mall was divided into ladies', men's and children's floors. Then furniture, accessories, Christmas goods and relax floor…

10. I should also mention Empire State Building – mainly because of its security that was more sophisticated than those one at Ruzyn ě Airport. The night view of New York was stunning but on the 86th floor there were too many people to be even able to move.

11. This New York City visit is sure to be my most beautiful experience. I recommend visiting this wonderful city to everyone.
