New York Boat Trip

The mountains of people and the seas of cars reminded me of Shanghai, but the churches and the American-English around told me : Welcome to New York.
The main thing in New York for me was to enjoy the boat trip. It was really a big boat with two floors above the deck and another floor under the deck. There were so many people and we were in a hurry to board the boat so that I had no chance to take a photo of the big beautiful boat. A friend of mine told me: "Don't worry, you will have plenty of opportunities to take photos in the boat." He was right, from the boat, I could see the green sea, the blue sky and the New York city becoming an integration. New York was famous for his skyscrapers and so was Shanghai. As a person who traveled in both of the two cities, I thought Shanghai was better in the absolute height of the highest building while New York was better in the number of skyscrapers. However, no matter how high the building was, it looked just like a toy when you were very far away from it.

The crowd started cheering like crazy when the Statue of Liberty appeared in my sight. It was just like a spot at first and then began getting bigger. I was so excited to see the Statue of Liberty because of the importance and the historical significance of it. It is just like the Taishan Mountain of Chinese culture - the representative of American culture. And it not only represented the liberty of the America, but also lightened the freedom road for the whole world.

Finally, a machine that could create coins with interesting picture attracted my eyes. It needed 4 quarters and 1 cent to start work. I didn't have any coins but it was not a big problem. I changed 1 dollar to 4 quarters in the canteen and asked my friends for 1 cent. Then I carefully put the coins to the machine and turned the machine four times. With a crisp sound, a coin with the Statue of Liberty picture on it came out. It was really wonderful, I would treasure it as a good memory of the New York boat trip.
