Intellijunkt Commentator: On the Run

Summary of trip to the Americas:

1. Went to Niagara Falls, Ca. Absolutely breath-taking. Subhanallah!! Took pictures from every different angle possible.
2. Times Square (Manhattan) at night is all about the big screens on buildings. Pedestrians walk into poles as a result.
3. Statue of Liberty is green due to oxidation of Copper (Cu). I took one look at said-monument and knew what she must be going through. Holding a torch and the US constituition for one hundred and thirty years is pretty darn amazing if you ask me.
4. Ellis Island Museum, which showcases *things* collected from the early migrants. There was an entire section displaying passports and travel documents of the migrants. There was this one document signed by the sultan of the Ottoman Empire which was of particular interest to yours truly.
5. Museum of Natural History. I went to the planetarium show which was wonder-amazing.
6. Central Park!!!
7. Wall Street. Which is in actual fact, a street (Thought it was some company that keeps coming up on finance news). So who or what is Dow Jones?
8. Ground zero.
9. Battery park, verrazona bridge, madison avenue, fifth avenue, broadway and others...
10. Six Flags: The most amazing theme park (possibly) in the whole wide world!
11. Marine Land: This *other* amazing theme park in Niagara Falls city!!































All in all, I had a fantastic time!
