New York: A Beautiful Mix

New York’s got to have the most famous line attached to it, “If you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere.” It’s partly true because NY (as it is widely known across the world) has some parts of the world in it. It’s supposed to be a melting pot of different cultures and nationalities that you can hardly say it’s part of America anymore. So, if want to experience the world in a few days, put New York on top of your list.

Let’s start with one of New York’s most famous landmarks–The Statue of Liberty. Given as a present from the French, it has been welcoming all visitors since 1886. It still stands there today, as a symbol liberty and escape from oppression. Although, the island is open to tourists, the statue itself has been closed off for safety’s sake. Nevertheless, it’s truly awe-inspiring to see the statue in person rather than look at it from a postcard.

We’ll be taking a look at the other New York landmarks in the next post.
