Four o'clock in the morning, I get up to get dressed to take the express bus to New York. After almost four hours driving I arrive in the city. It's so cold and I'm happy I have my warm jacket and scarf. First stop the hostel, I take the Red line to 103rd. The subway is crowded by New Yorkers going to work and I'm happy to hop off with my big bag. After I drop my things, I'm heading to the centre... Read Full Entry

In 2009, I decided to participate in a program to work in America. From August 1st 2010, I worked as an educator for a year on the East Coast. I worked with children from 9 to 13 years old with mental disabilities and autism at Seven Hills Foundation, Fitchburg, MA. On my days off and vacation I traveled and discovered the American culture. Have a nice journey by following me thru this blog ... full info

The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan (at Canal Street) with Brooklyn (at Flatbush Avenue Extension). It was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges. The bridge was opened to traffic on December 31, 1909 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Bridge

It has four vehicle lanes on the upper level (split between two roadways). The lower level has three lanes, four subway tracks, a walkway and a bikeway. The upper level, originally used for streetcars, has two lanes in each direction, and the lower level is one-way and has three lanes in peak direction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Bridge

Ca a l'air super chouette NY. Dommage que je ne sache pas venir mais on le referra. Tu as l'air de bien trouver ton chemin en de profiter des choses bien Américaines. C'est chouette de voir que tu pourras raconter tout ça à Kyara. Peut-être qu'elle attrappera le microbe et qu'elle te demandera de l'emmener là-bas. Pourtant, on t'attend tous ici et on éspère te revoir très bientôt! La semaine en février est déjà notée sur le calendrier! gros bisous et amuse-toi bien! Alicia, Yens, Kyara et Denzo
