Our next stop was in a cute city called New Hyde Park in New York. The
kids there like to hike, play sports, ski, and go fishing in the great
outdoors. Some other activities include movie theaters and shopping.
The movies in New York come out in theaters earlier than other cities.
At recess, they play board games, computer games, and dominos due to the
fact that they must stay inside if it is cold out. For a couple months
of the the year, they do go outside to play outdoor sports and swing.
New York sounds like a pretty snazzy city!
New York is a vacation
destination because of the shopping centers and museums, like the
Guggenheim and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The beaches in Nassau
County and the boardwalks like Coney Island were also some of our
favorite destinations! The Statue of Liberty and the Empire State
Building are other popular venues to visit. New York City is
over-populated. Did you know that over 9 million people live on Long
Island alone? That is 3 million more than the entire state of Arizona!
When Twin Towers fell on September 11, 2001, they could see the smoke
from their school. New York is also known for its varying landscapes of
cities, mountains, and farms. And who can forget the famous Broadway
plays! Doesn’t New York appear to be fantastic?
Something else that we thought was pretty cool was that the kids over
there can speak eleven different languages including English. Some of
the languages include Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Arabic, Greek, Farsi,
and Punjab. We can barely speak one and a half! They’re basically
telling us is that New York is a great place to visit. Stay tuned for
more adventures!
