having new experience in New York_Daniel


On July 25th, 2012, we went to the south street seaport. Just when we left the subway, the teacher took us to the American Gemini and they really shocked me, although they are destroyed by the terrorists in the past and it’s being repaired now. The heights of the buildings are nearly 120 floors. I couldn’t imagine how amazing it is if people stand on it. Then we passed through the crowd, and came to the three bridges in Manhattan that cannot be forgotten, they were the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, and the Williamsburg Bridge. The three bridges and the water and the beautiful views around it make up a unique feature of Manhattan. The mayor of the New York spent 5 million dollars to build a water fall under the bridges, He asserted that this air waterfall will bring 2 million visitors and 20 million of revenues to New York. But when the waterfall was completed, people found that the waterfall was too small. I don’t know whether the program was win or lost money, but I think it must be lost. Then we went shopping in the shopping center next to the bridges, buy small souvenirs and clothes. Then we go back with immense fatigue and satisfaction.

  1. I'd never heard the term "American Gemini" for the Twin Towers. Interesting! And yes, the waterfalls were a bit of a bust. Are they still there?
