During my second week in NY I went to many interesting places. I walked a lot and I was delighted more than I expected. I have done so many different things that it seems to me that I have been here since a lot of time. I love the idea of walking in Manhattan without knowing which is the name of the following street! The only way I perfectly know is the one to come back to the residence from the campus!
But if I have to choose one of the places I liked most, I would say that it was the Central Grand Station. To tell you the truth, I was guided by my roommate Romina, who was the one that wanted to go there. I thought that it was like a common train station, but bigger than the rest. It was Saturday afternoon and it was snowing, so I thought it would be a good idea to keep us warm and safe. As soon as we were arriving to the entrance hall I could understand the reasons why my roomie insistently wanted to spend time there. Apart from being huge, its building is really picturesque. In the main hall there are stunning marble stairs, a four-face brass clock just in the center of it, tickets booth and ceiling painted as if it was a sky.
There were many couples dressed up as if they were getting married and I didn´t understand why! Then, I discovered that there was a whispering gallery that makes it a really romantic place! When two people stand at diagonal arches and whisper, they can hear each other´s voices from across the way. And it really famous for murmured marriage proposals! I loved it!!!!!

Kari, another romantic thing I have discovered here in NY is at Brooklyn Bridge where I noticed lots of padlocks , some of them ordinary looking and some fancy ! Some of them have names engraved and I wondered about them there ...Well somebody explained to me that they represent love promises of eternal love...! I thought that was really romantic and I have added one more thing to my " to do" list: come again to NY with my sweetheart and leave our promise of eternal love on Brooklyn Bridge with a padlock as witness! Love ...love ...love everywhere...and Valentine's day is closer and closer!
