Wall St. Rocks!

Today we went to many different places all over New York that are known worldwide.
First, we went to one of the most iconic and best known buildings in the whole city, the Empire State Building. We were there right on time, so we didn't have to wait too long to go in. First we came in a big hall with a very high and impressive ceiling. Then we got our audio guides and started moving ahead. In the first floor there was a show about the new energy saving parts of the building. Even though it was interesting, the most people moved ahead very quickly and directly in the elevators, up to the 80th floor, where they had a show about how the building was build. Then again, most people moved ahead through that very quickly to the next elevators that brought everyone to the 86 where the observatory was.
Everyone who arrived there was amazed by the mind blowing view over the city. Some probably took more selfys on top of the building than on the whole rest of the tour. Afterwards everyone went to the shop and then back to the ground again.
After this amazing experience we went to another well known building, not as high but even more beautiful: The Grand Central Station. This place is known for being a beautiful building and we ate lunch in there. It was really impressive to see the high walls in the hall. The most impressive thing was probably the talking in the corners, were someone talks in one corner and another one in another corner of the room and they can hear each other. This was really fun.
Our next stop was Wall Street, the Bull, federal Hall, City Hall... from where we went to the Brooklyn Bridge. We all were really impressed because of the view from the bridge on the Skyscrapers and the river.
Then we went to China Town where our Guide, Garret left us which made everyone very sad because he was very funny.
