We wake up in the morning and ready to take the taxi to get to the Union Station to take the Bolt Bus to our next city, New York City. I get the chance to get on the second taxi but the taxi came late. Our group are frightened that we might missed the bus. But we did not, we are quite lucky on the trip. The Union Station is gorgeous. It has the Roman domes and great architect. We went to try Dunkin Doughnuts for the first time. Later, we took our four hour Bolt Bus ride to New York. We walked to Wyndham New Yorker Hotel and checked into our room. I love my room and I can’t missed it more. The subway stations in NYC is confusing, we got lost many times inside the subway. We took the subway and got us to our first tour: Then and Now by Tenement Museum. We walked around the Lower Eastside of Manhattan Chinatown. The Chinatown looks gigantic but with little Chinese population. From what I learned from the tour, they plan to expand into the Little Italy. We walked around the Chinatown, the places are poorly renovate and the government did not put much effort in helping to maintain the land. It was solely the community who gather to help themselves. After the tour, we went to Highline, it was a greenery open space. There are many tourists walked through the bridge like we did. We spent about an hour and we head back to Chinatown and get Hot Pot for dinner.
P.s. for myself: Great Job again! You didn't eat fast food (MD). Determination is the key for healthy body. -Meifeng Deng
