Travelogue 3 – Fast Life in New York, New York

The Newark Penn Station, the WTC PATH terminal and hordes of people was a reminder of every morning in Mumbai. Just as people make their way to right platforms – going in to VT or Church Gate every morning in Mumbai, people were walking towards their tracks for NJTransit, PATH or Acela trains. It was nice! Things were moving fast!

One more observation about New Yorkers was their behavior in the elevator. Once everyone was in the elevator and the right buttons for floors pressed, someone would press the close-the-doors button immediately. Who has time to wait for five seconds before the doors close automatically?! Double nice!

In Manhattan, I followed the old routine. Get a subway ticket, but get out of the metro a few stops before and walk down the road! It was enjoyable. Except for the heavy rains and plummeting temperatures on the day of departure, it went well! No pictures to share though….
