News from Around the World

This looks like it could be good news:

Next day I catch the subway back to Time Square, like Vegas it’s no where near as interesting during the daytime. I decided to walk down Broadway to Macy’s the world’s largest department store. After this I walked through Soho towards lower Manhattan. I ran into Sid the guy from Boston (this was the 3rd time we had just ran into each other in the street, what are the chances of this in cities the size of Boston and NY), we then went and looked at the World Trade Centre site. I was here 2 years ago and not much has changed in those 2 years, one new Skyscraper has been re-built on the edge of the site but no building work has happened yet on the Freedom Tower. The Freedom Tower aims to be the tallest building in the world when it is finally built. Next we walked past the Stock Exchange and then down to the Staten Island ferry terminal where we caught a free ferry across the river. On this 30 minute transfer you get a great view of downtown Manhattan as well as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. There is nothing to do once you get to Staten Island, so like most tourists we got back on the ferry to Manhattan without leaving the terminal.
