In my last
vacations I went to New York with my boyfriend and my brother on December 2011.
While we were planning our trip, we made some reservations by internet. It was so easy. We bought air tickets, Niagara falls tour, and Citypass tour which includes The Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty, MOMMA museam and other places of interest.

The first
day we arrived to my aunt´s house. She was explaining us how must we use the subway map, when my mom called to
say hello . So I missed all explanation. But in that moment I thought that everything will be fine, and We got out
to enjoyed New York. We visited the
Rockerfeller Center and we saw the biggest Christmas tree that I had ever
seen. Then we went to Times Square , it was my favorite place there. I liked so
much because I saw people from all nationalities dressed according to their
culture, there were people so weird. It was so different than Medellin.
One week later we
took the Niagara Falls tour, we were so excited about it. But when we
arrive to the meeting point we discovered that tourguide man was a Chinnesse person and
his English was so poor.
But we made a deal…once He gave an instruction all of us should say that we had understood, and this strategie worked except for the last day.

When we
were coming from Boston, the bus stopped in China Town we had to got off of
its.We didn´t have this episode planned. We were walking around the same
point with some backpack looking for the right subway station to came back to home.I was so scaried, I felt lost there.
They were
trying to find the station, I got crazy for a while. I separated from
them and I started to ask to people where was the subway station. I didn’t
understand anything, the accent was so difficult.In fact I was lost. Besides I
didn’t to interpret rightly the subway map because I was talking by phone when
my aunt explained it.
After 15 minutes I saw them and we iniciated
the hunt together.
Finally we
entered to any station and there we found a person from Dominican Republic who
kindly helped us to take the right subway…He was like an angel…
