【Question】have you been to new york(or you're planning to go there this summer)

[Jack the X 10]

well, i'm going to new york this summer with a friend. we're planning to explore this fabulous city on our own. at the same time , would like to join some kind of esl program at NYU. so......if you've been to new york, maybe you can offer us some advice about what class to take, or some unusual attractions in new york!!!! if you are planning to go there this summer, maybe you can even join us!!!!

for further discussion my msn is [email protected]!!!!

new york, here i come!!!!!!!!

[Janet Sung 10]

never join any chinese tour ..... they always try to squeeze every single attraction into the schedule and you'll end up having only a quick look of every spot. there are tons of stuff to go in NYC. depends on what kind of people you are, some can spend the whole week visiting museums, some like to shop in fifth avenue. my advise is plan your own trip. since you can speak english, planning a trip is not a big deal, especially in NYC. you can get all you want by googling.

[Krislih 10]

go to their pubs, not for stupid night life but for the live band performence...

really, do not plan, just hit wherever you see! Everything, everywhere will surprise you.

year, i knew exactly how you feel about those "chinese" tours. it's like they're always on a rush. and the point of their tour is to take pictures at as many spots as they can. there's no time for you to explore the spot deeply. god! really have enough of it. two years ago, joined a local "chinese" tour for the canadian rockies......man that was a disaster. planning to have a week to tour around nyc with my friends and maybe will join a class at nyu with some students from taiwan(don't really want to.....) but .....since i'm not over 18 yet, there are still tons of problems to deal with............

[Krislih 10]

well then, solve those massive problems and then enjoy the big apple!

[Janet Sung 10]

what kind of problem? it's pretty easy to go there, as easy as other american city. my friends and i were planning on going there during spring break. but one of my friends' brother overheard that when he came back from college. he told my friend's mom that it's too dagerous for girls to go there alone ..... let me paraphrase for you "mom, i can take a few days off to go with them" ... girls like us can do it(we already had a whole plan! we even found a hostel .... all because of her bro ....), so do you

as long as you can get a visa, everything is gonna be fine

[Krislih 10]

well, he mentioned about some stuff like personal issues?(i guess)

And yeah, get the visa done, and get everything prepared. Also bring an enjoyable mind...

[Janet Sung 10]

just to remind you, if you want to apply for the summer class, you should apply it now. i was going to apply for summer schools yesterday, and i found out that most of them were full T_T beside, you probably need an admission from the school to get the visa, right?

[Jack the X 10]

well, my problem is that, it's a kind of hard to deal with the accommodation problem, becasue i'm not over 18. looking for a cheap hotel to stay now,don't really want to stay at a homestay. it's not so........free. and the quality is unpredictable. as for the classes, which unversity are you talking about??nyu??? and i already have the visa(went to seattle last summer)

[Krislih 10]

you might as well go to flushing to find a place to stay in, flushing is just full of asians if you like that.

[大奶宅宅 10]

I just went there 2weeks ago lol.It was nice day in NYC.

Go to David Letterman show, the show tapes in the afternoon every single day except Sat & Sun.He is extremly funny.

And get on the empire building's top when the sun sets.There were many French and Germen, Germen women are sexy haha.

And the luxury McDonald

[Jack the X 10]

david letterman show??man!!! how did you get a chance to go to the show??

[大奶宅宅 10]

First of all, you have to be eighteen.

Second of all, you must be very lucky.

I didnt get the chance b/c he was on vacation lol it was Tuesday.

[Richtu 10]

Do Canadians need visas to go to the US? I remember something about Americans coming over to buy milk....= =""

[Krislih 10]

i do not think a visa for Canadian citizen is needed, but i still am uncertain since nowadays America is so paranoid about many things... lol

[Clouch 10]

wow wow wow

seems like there's a "mate" planning to visit nyc

i am in new york RIGHT NOW, if you have any questions ,don't be afraid to ask

i think i would probably be considered as one of the few students who left ck high school to study abroad :E

though i may be in taiwan this summer, i still can give you some suggestions about the city

i am not sure whether there is an esl program in nyu or not.

here's the point, i do know "somebody" in the university

and if "unfortunately", i need to stay in ny this summer, i may volunteer in the college of dentistry. therefore, if you have any questions, again,don't be afraid to ask

my aim screen name is: BinomialPDF

i apologize for not reading the whole forum. i'm on a rush (what's my rush? i'm struggling with my upcoming exams) ! but if you have any questions, you're still welcomed to ask me anytime (due to the 12-hour time difference, i cannot always reply immediately = ="" you shall know that!)

by the way, how's everything going in the school?

[Jack the X 10]

hi clouch, may i have your msn or messenger so i can contact you more easily?? me and my friends will spend like three weeks in nyc, and if you're still in ny by then, we might be able to meet each other. by the way, can you introduce some good restarants around manhattan?? because we'll be hanging around the place then(taking some kind of esl class at nyu)!!

[MikiRei 10]

I remember something about Americans coming over to buy milk....

LOL!!! Why? Too expensive over at his place?

[myaddresswego1 10]

Well, to tell the truth, I've been to there once.

That was my childhood living near there for about several months.

Because of residing in Baltimore and I love baseball, I hate not only NY yankees but also some of the people.

But to be frank, I consider it a proper environment for people to live in there.(Hope the crime rate decreases)= ="

[crazysprout 10]

i went to NTC on April this year,with my high school

we took about 17 hours to get there(cauz we`re from KY...

i think you will have more fun goin` there by yourself,cauz with taiwanese group ,

a lot of things are limited~

&i think you really should go to time square and broadway ,

i love them sooo much

i bet you will have lots of fun there: )

[慧靜 10]

wow. a lot of people here gave good advice.

i live in Boston now which is only 4 hours away from NYC ^^

[jim800121楓☆霖 10]

I have never been there before. I think I will have time to go there after I graduate from senior high school.

[MikiRei 10]

Never
