Final Words of NYC

 Wow! Our class is done. I must say I had a different emotions practically every week for this class. The first week I was excited and really interested in our entire day but wanted to drop out because I didn't think I could do all that walking. However, I said to my besides that class being completed in seven weeks the real purpose of me joining this class was to learn about NYC as a whole. I've lived in queens and manhattan combined more than I've lived in Long Island, but know more about long island than NYC's five boroughs. I am really glad i did not drop this class. Visiting all these different types of museums my favorite being the Transit museum gave me a different view of of museums could entail. Before I started this class and when the word museum was heard I automatically thought of boring paintings that I've constantly seen during my elementary school trips. Fortunately my perspective on museums have changed thanks to this class.

All the information I have gathered from Mike, Meritta, and some phenomenal tour guides have allowed me to gain a tremendous amount of information. My favorite tour was from the tenement Museum. I always had an interest in learning about how people lived back in the days and how they managed without all the technology that we have now. That type of information you don't learn in your everyday social studies class unless you are majoring in it or you get the information told to you. I am happy that I got the information delivered to me in an interesting way, especially by a person that you could  tell that loved their job.

Another thing that I didn't learn but encouraged me to do even more is to go out to eat in different types of restaurants more often.  I always was a fan of trying to new food and would sometime but lack of time and laziness stopped me from doing it. The meal that really encouaged me was ther thai food especially the plate i ordered the basil chicken and white rice. The food there was not expensive and is able to fit within my budget.

Overall this call has showed me the life of is nyc is way beyond shopping, attending shows or going out just to relax. NYC is very informative for people ages from childhood to the elderly. There so much by not just sitting in a class and viewing it on powerpoint. This class was well thought of when it was decided to make it a walking and interactive class versus an in class lecture. Being able to actually see what you're actually learning about is way more interesting.
