Travel is the window to the world. So what window I have opened lately--New York--The Big Apple--the mega city--- Times Square and Broadway the strip of the east. Vegas taxi drivers and New York City taxi drivers all attended the same school. It is called the School of Honk and Keep Moving. It lacks in some areas of all around education; such as language, honest answers and communication skills. It is mainly a hands on program.where the main emphasis of focus is merging into or in front of traffic, braking for red lights, squeezing into a small parking space to unload passengers, hefting bags from the trunk and extending their hand toward you in one motion.
New York hums and moves continuously --a city full of people shifting positions and locations smoothly and effortlessly. It all comes through years of practice and acceptance of the life style.
They find comfort in the crowds and noise--it is where they belong. New Yorkers find nothing strange about walking to Central Park with chickens in a dog stroller so they can play. I do! My mind instantly went to the condition of the stroller after chickens have spent even a few minutes in it. Where do these chickens live? Can you keep them in an apartment or on a terrace?
A large population of the most talented people in the world live in NYC; perhaps too much talent in one spot. I marvel at their ability to get up in front of hundreds of people and share it. As a watcher I get lost in the performance which flows seamlessly unaware of the years of struggle and work it has taken to stand on the stage. LUCKY ME I was in the audience letting them entertain me.went fast
Three days went fast, but it was enough. Next time if there is a next time I'm going to Brooklyn. You have to venture out and see it all--there is much more!
Watch out for those yellow things. They eat you alive.
Bubble Blower in Central Park. The kids went nuts chasing and popping the huge bubbles.
