New York - a big city and a small mouse
For spring holidays Jörn Marten, Sascha and me went to the United States to search for some more reasons why we have chosen Canada to study and not the USA.
Our first goal was the Empire State Building, since 9/11 New Yorks highest skyscraper of the city (381m). On the top we couldn't see much more than the clouds (left) so that we went up the next day again to enjoy the famous skyline (middle and right).
To visit the statue of liberty it took two attempts, too. Because we had pocket knives along with us we have been kicked out at the control check. The other day, without our knives, I was pretty happy that I didn't have the opportunity to kill Miss Liberty. What consequences might that have had?
The Times Square (above) was even worth to be visited twice. Especially in the darkness of the evening, when you can't see the dirt in the streets anymore.
Other famous places we vistited were Central Park (left: fltr: Jörn Marten, Sascha and me), the UN headquarter (middle: UN secourity council) and the Brooklyn Bridge, once the biggest rope bridge of the world (right).
As if this wouldn't have been enough we had a mouse in our hotel room eating our meat during the nights. After blocking one mousehole with a carrot we noticed on the last day that there has been a second one. After a nice talk with the manager using an appropriate voice, we have been refunded for one night.
Not having mentioned several other things I just can say that New York is not my city but this experince was worth beeing made.

Hey Sven,
Glad to see you didnt' kill Miss Liberty, its a dangerous thing to do such a thing as that!
Currently in London, having a blast, seen many of the sights already and our respective families have been treating us like royalty!
Allison had some scissors in her bag as we went to England... She had to throw them out... :(
Anyway, Hope Waterloo is fun!
Will update sooner or later!
