Never again
Manhattan may be smaller than Stockholm, but it's big enough to kill feet! My upcoming thoughts will probably be about what I'm going to wear on my lower legs next time we're hedding for New York...
Today we saw the Statue of Liberty, walked on Wall Street and Broadway and got attacked by several asian looking figures mumbeling or whispering "Gucci, Prada - bags, watches, wallets - yes?"
The place that moved me most was a place that really doesn't exist anymore - Ground Zero where the Worldtrade Center buildings were placed. It has now been almost five years since the terrorist attack that paralyzed the whole U.S. happened, but when I stood there looking at the monument over "The heroes of 9/11" I felt like it could have been yesterday. The whole atmosphere around the area is still moderate and it's obvious that the tragic event has touched us all. I didn't want to take pictures (or even go there at first), cause it feels wrong to exploit it as a "tourist attraction". But still, it's important to never forget what happened and why - and going there to see it yourself is really hard to forget.
