New York I first visited Nov. 11, 2018 and soon around April 2019 I will leave behind…

Whether it be New York City or some other country, the same scenario will happen…you will come to visit and then sooner or later, leave it behind… However, if it is New York City it is very painful to do so. Well, I can take it with more joy than pain in that my visa is good for ten (10) years. Thus, if I save enough or my daughter adopts me as dependent or plain luck in the offing, who is to say I will be here again sooner rather than later.

New York : the city of your dreams

I have traveled outside my country. Every stay had always been memorable but at the back of my mind was the longing for the place called New York City. So it was like a dream fulfilled when barely a year my daughter was able to sponsor my trip to this city. So November 2018 came and the dream became real.

NYC and the other cities through the lens of my camera…

The most important pose upon reaching the airport. Aha! New York City at last, yahoo!

But other countries are equally wow!

Hongkong, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore – their tourist spots are really TOURIST SPOTS! Perhaps this is their pride-every tourist comes out awed and eager to go back again!

Then there is New York City… and of the few months I have been here, the tourist spots are just top of the line.

Pictures are not the only proofs of the country’s best features but at least it gives us the country’s face. Expect me to share more of the documentary which is greatly done by http://www.Mindanaoan.com and http://www.BukidnonOnLine.com

So the New York City I first visited last November 11, 2018 and soon to leave behind this coming April 2019 is not the point of this post. Rather it is to say in some other other way the quality of time that is spent not the quantity of time that matters more. So fellow bloggers: see you soon. In the meantime, let us pray for our world. It seems while we are enjoying the good side of our dream…others have become homeless and still others, engage in various crimes we can only watch in horror.

 

 

 

 

 

 

New York’s People, Places, Events Plus Phrases-Praises (Part I)

It is striking to visit a city where libraries abound…PUBLIC LIBRARIES but complete for research purposes and generally, a place where you can reflect, stay quiet, read and once in a while “collect yourself”.

A solemn and sacred place for the victims of 9/11.

Penn Station that also houses postal office . . .

 

Go to Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty- and would you believe the ride is for FREE!

Repeat: Staten Island Ferry for free to see the Statue of Liberty if only from afar.

Some of the must-see sights in New York City: Rockefeller, Times Square and Macy’s . This is one reason why New York is branded as the city that never sleeps! Good food for everyone everywhere.

This blog is only Part I of many because there is so much to see, so many to admire, so many phrases to formulate to express the praises due New York City!!!
