When I was a kid I was dreaming about the USA. I was thinking does the USA look exactly the same as in the movies? Tall buildings, massive cars, and wide roads? Huge people and food portions?
I would say some of the things seen in movies are actually how the USA is looking. It is so diverse that you would need months to see most of it. Fortunately, I managed to visit New York, Bahamas, and Florida. This is my New York adventure.

The real Times Square experience
Time Square and of course police everywhere. It reminds me a bit of Glasgow, similar streets, only buildings are not that tall.
Time Square during night is super crowded, a lot of people tried to sell stuff to me. The energy is incredible but honestly overwhelming.
The NYC Marathon surprise
Street was closed due to NY Marathon, well we took advantage of it by capturing some images.
NY during the night is magnificent.
From the tallest building in the US
The tallest building in the US and the view was superb. Look from the tallest building in the US. Cars and people on streets were so small. I couldn’t stop staring at everything from the top.
Unexpected moments
A lot of fans, but during the NHL game, I almost fall asleep because fans were so quiet. American sports crowds are different than I expected.
One of the best or not the most delicious cakes were eaten in the Trump tower and the look inside the tower was also something interesting, everything was in gold look.
9/11 Memorial
In memories of 9/11 victims. This hit differently than I expected. Standing there, you feel the weight of history.
Central Park escape
Central park is the best place to hide your self from the noisy environment. Far away the tallest US building can be seen and also the rest of NY.
It was enough with NY in 5 days. The next destination was Florida.
