...-sit in the district of North Bronx, in a small quarter full of synagogues, nice houses, secondary schools and lorries and vans of ice-cream sellers. When I told the friend who found the job I wasn’t Jewish, she answered in their usual way that nobody was perfect, and explained to me the basics of Kosher (really fascinating, including dividing the cutlery in three parts, for meat, fish and milk products, among other things).
The family was very friendly, both born Americans, Orthodox Jewish, believers and synagogue goers. I stayed with two-year old Benjamin or went for a walk with the baby (it’s easy to forget the name of someone you never talk to!).
When my workday was over I went to the city centre, which was quite far away from where I stayed (that was in another part of North Bronx). I took the metro. You can imagine what New York metro looks like...

...New York can be a scary place if you don't know what you are doing...

Advantages: many stores and attactions Disadvantages: confusing
...New York is a city of business. But it's also a city of tourism and
culture with it's great museums and attractions. Everybody should go
tere and try out the New York subway. The amount of different people
and places are amazing. Central park is a must. They have the cleanest
park I have ever seen and have these floral arrangements that are
fabulous. But you can't forget about shopping, it's just too hard, there's too many stores to choose from. Overall, New York city
is fantastic to visit but personnally, I find it too confusing to live
in....

If you want to stay in Central New York then this is the hotel to book. It is actually IN Times Square! It's a huge modern hotel with over 45 floors so some of the views are great. There is a bar at the top which is a lovely place to have a drink,... more
The New Yorker is in an excellent midtown location with the subway (lines A, C & E) literally steps outside. Being on the corner of 8th Avenue and 34th Street this meant good access to Macy's, Empire State Building, Madison Square Gardens and the... more
Postmodernism, eh? It's a funny old bag of fish. Even the holier-than-thou critics don't quite seem to know what it's all about. They argue whether it's
a) a revolt against modernism,
b) a progression of modernism,
c) both of these and more
or d) more
