Our first day was spent in New York. Although we had a quick look around when we arrived in the States, this time we decided to thoroughly explore the most interesting spots. We left our luggage in storage for $6 per suitcase (for the day) using the BagNB app. We got right up to the Empire State Building—New York's very first skyscraper—and walked through the main park, where we were caught in a hailstorm, resulting in wet shoes. We turned red in front of the National Museum of American History staff when, instead of the stated ticket price ($23), we only paid $5😅 Finally, we tried American McDonald's! The burger was very greasy, but the fries were delightful with their crispy texture (though for the price, you could buy 6 kg in Minsk). Then we went to the Hudson Yards area, where we found modern architecture led by a staircase-observation deck structure that looks like a superhero mask😂 After about 100 photos of that staircase, we walked to the 9/11 Memorial (~6 km). The place holds so many tears and human sorrow, yet people sit on the memorial and smile for photos 🤷🏼‍♀️ Next to it is a transport hub shaped like a flying bird. If @alexandramitroshina is to be believed, it is also a sundial that projects holograms of the Twin Towers on September 11th. Not far from the memorial is New York's busiest business street—Wall Street. Unfortunately, it was already dark by the time we got there, so we didn't catch the busiest people 😅 The last point on our route was the Statue of Liberty, which we tried so hard to reach that day. But since we had a flight in a couple of hours, we didn't have time to take a boat ride, but that wasn't a problem! There is a park near the port that we went to. Since the statue is about 3 km away from there, we were able to enjoy the view of the statue ☺️ Since our flight was at 6 AM, we decided not to book accommodation and spent the night at the airport. The last shuttle was leaving in 1.5 hours, so we headed to the airport... https://www.instagram.com/alexandramitroshina/

Pobyvat' v Amirike- mechta, kotoroi ya zagorelas' eshe buduchi v 10om klasse.

I tak nachalas' moya lihoradka: bessonnye nochi v internete v poiskah interesnoi informacii o programme, sotni perechitannyh blogov uchastnikov programmy, kotorym uzhe dovelos' pobyvat' za okeanom, i, konechno zhe, sladkoe predvkushenie ispolneniya svoei mechty! V techenie goda ya podbila eshe 3 devochek (1oi zhertvoi byla Assema, 2- Naz, 3-Aina), i my reshili, kak govoritsya, pokorit' Ameriku vmeste. Sobravshis', my sideli, i tupo mechtali ob amerikanskoi zhizni. V nashih voobrozheniyah my predstavlyali sebya v malen'kom turisticheskom gorodke na poberezh'e Atlanticheskogo okeana (tak kak nas uveryali, chto v bol'shih gorodah,kak New York ostavatsya ne stoit, i chto nam sleduet uehat' iz New Yorka v svoi goroda as soon as possible! I sootvetsvenno my byli uverenny do mozga kostei, chto gde-gde, no v NYC my uzh tochno ne ostanemsya) rabotayushimi v mestnom McDonald's i mirno tosteyushimi, poedaya amerikanskie hotdogi.

21.06.10 Writing briefly and concisely... I knew I'd forget something, and it turned out to be my notebook! Writing in a notepad. The flight from Tyumen to Moscow went well. Except for one unpleasant incident related to a 2-hour flight delay. So, if you don't want to be late, the airline Sky Express is not for you, the only plus is cheap tickets;) Vnukovo Airport didn't show itself in the best light... renovations, but compared to our Roshchino, its size is impressive. After getting to the center of Moscow by marshrutka for 100 rubles per head, we (by "we" I mean my friend Gleb and myself, we are going to discover America together) first of all ate, and of course it was done in... guess for yourself))) Then we needed to call the hostel and find out if there were any spots. A call via a payphone costs 6 rubles, which is not a big difference from our Tyumen Beeline at 10 rubles, considering that for a payphone you have to look for a card, and that's just a waste of time. Having called the hostel, we asked to reserve two spots in a 10-bed room for our overnight stay). *note: If you are traveling far, be sure to plan your actions so as not to end up in a situation where there is nowhere to sleep. Glory to the internet))) Next, our path lay to Red Square. On the square are the Lobnoye Mesto, the monument to Minin and Pozharsky, Uncle Lenin's Mausoleum, next to which is the Necropolis by the Kremlin Wall, where figures (mainly political and military) of the Soviet state are buried (besides that, in the 1920s-30s, foreign communists were also buried there). hehe Beauty!!! Posting a couple of photos. I would like to say a few words about the hostel separately. For 500 rubles, you get a quite comfortable bed, internet (there are 2 computers), a shower, a kitchen, a laundry room, there is a TV and books))) And the biggest plus - almost only American students stay there))) So the first contact with "foreigners" went successfully. PS One American girl told me how she traveled by train and she considers platzkart-type carriages "someone's crazy idea" hehehe She also noticed one characteristic trait of Russians, quoting with translation: "They drink, but they don't get drunk!!!!" The hostel is called Moscow Home Hostel http://moshostel.ru/

I'm just going to copy the letter I sent to my friends back home here, so you can fully feel my emotions =) Remember, two weeks ago I told you I went for an interview at a Mexican restaurant, the wildest one in town - Señor Frog's??? When I had already had a beer before the interview???? Anyway... yesterday I was in a really bad mood because the side job I was counting on turned out to be a scam. Irochka, Ulyana's friend, sent me her gig - she was offered to hand out flyers for 4 hours for 40 bucks at a party... That's considered really good... but she couldn't do it because she's working at that time... and she gave me the number, told me to meet this woman... the woman turned out to be Russian, she has her own beauty salon. I drove God knows where to see her (far from the center where I live in downtown (that's the business district). She was explaining everything about the products, what I should say, showing me the price list... and then she shows me the place where the party will be... It turned out to be just a street that will be blocked off and there will be a lot of people pushing around... nothing special.... when I asked how she would pay, she said from sales... and that means she won't pay anything... and when I asked how long to work, she replied ONE HOUR. So, I have to travel 1 hour there, work there 1 hour for free, and then an hour back... but I agreed, because in the long run, maybe she would help me with something, she said she has a lot of contacts and she would help me find something related to babysitting or cleaning... in short, I was stupid. I returned home very upset. And then I remembered something. Two days ago, when I was handing out flyers, a woman came up to me on the street and started asking how I work, how many hours a day, how much I get... actually, I chat with everyone on the street, otherwise it's very boring to stand... I've already been offered American citizenship twice and about 700 times to go to the beach (at night))))))). In short, when she started asking me all these questions, I wasn't surprised and answered honestly... and then she gives me a piece of paper with the restaurant's address and a recommendation from her. She says, like, if you need a normal job, go there, they need a hostess right now. A hostess seats people, gives them menus. Worse than a waiter, salary is higher, but no tips. I went to that restaurant that same evening, they told me they were busy (meaning, a lot of clients, everyone is occupied), to come during the day. I came during the day, they told me the managers were in a meeting, to come the next day.... and in short, yesterday I already had everything ruined with that side job, I decided to add to it and stop by this restaurant to ask about work. I came, talked to the manager, smiled, he gave me an application list, I wrote everything about my work experience (fictional), wrote people in the recommendations (we always write each other). He read all this and said to come tomorrow at 2 for an interview (that is, today already). Well, that was a RESULT, because usually they say, we'll call you back. I left a little happier than I was... I got home and then I remember that I still have Señor Frog's (where I came half-drunk for an interview, I reminded you at the beginning of the letter). Usually, if they can't or don't want to hire you, they say, we'll call you back within two weeks. And, of course, they don't call back. Well, I didn't care about that, dressed decently and went there... I arrive, I say, Carlitos, like this and that... you promised to hire me, I need a job... I came to work, exactly two weeks have passed. Let's do it already. He says, how long are you here for. I say, the visa expires at the end of September, he's like, what, only for a month???? (you can never say that it's for a month, they won't hire you otherwise). I say, well, actually I'm leaving earlier than in a month... and I continue. I am Russian, it's hard for me to find a job in Amer
