Up until this point, the three of us followed roughly the same path, the same route, but every person is still infinitely lonely, and everyone has their own path that they will walk alone, whether they want to or not. Someone was idling, visiting museums, and reading books. Someone went sailing around Canada. Someone worked, worked, and worked. Since you, the reader, are traveling through my memories, you too will be idling and walking through NY museums on this page...=) If you want to read about the fate of my fellow travelers, just ask.=) A whole month ahead... Why did I decide not to work? To get a job, I would have had to lie a lot and well to everyone, because no one would have hired me for 3 weeks. If I had gotten a job, I wouldn't have had time for books, and my university debts were looking over my shoulder and even pushing me with dissatisfaction for 2 months already. With a job, I would have had less time to explore the city. And in general, I was just too lazy to work. =) It seems like there is enough time for everything, but that is far from the truth. So, dear fans of all things American, to your right is a photograph capturing the entrance to one of the largest museums in the world, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Another tip. If by some miracle you stayed in NY for more than one day, don't put off visiting museums. Don't hope to run past so many creations of human thought in just an hour or two. Plan your museum visit in advance and leave the house even earlier than you would have woken up back home. But I have considered an answer like "Why the heck do I need this museum?"... At 151 West 34th Street, there is a ten-story Macy's. Good luck. _ Don't let the number of different human faces scare you: bearded and wrinkled, chubby and rosy, doubting and impudent. Boldly get into one of the dozen lines. You've heard that "the museum exists on the funds of sponsors and donors with small state support (ha-ha! I'm sure an American museum would cry if its 'small state support' turned into the small state support of a Russian museum)" (Wikipedia is my friend=)), and that means you can enter this temple of human creations completely for free? Believe it, it's true. Just hand any coin to the person handing out "tickets" (it's better to hand over an American one) and smile. They will exchange your coin for a colored badge with the museum's emblem, which you must pin to your clothes (your clothes won't be damaged! see for yourself=)). So, grab a museum map, just in case you need the restroom, and go ahead! To the museum!=)
