let me put the temperature in perspective,
lagos right now is 91°F, i recently visited casablanca, an african city and the temperature felt like a typical air condition in Nigeria(set to max). that is 62°F.
new york city right now is 33°F.

for your info, water freezes at 32°F
so, some of the snow we had 3 days ago still lies on the streets.

bro most of us don't understand °F. use °C instead..

Originalsly:
NYC....revisited..... sidewalk...ice cold.... still sitting and begging at subway entrance!

Dropped nothing!.....she's out there everyday.... tall and fit... like army type... walks well... no limp nothing...I'm not even sure if I can run faster than she! Never seen anyone help her either... she has to be more creative to get coins dropping her way.

NYC...Brooklyn....Barclay s Center..... indoor stadium... home of Nets Basketball...big white part is a flat-screen that shows ads and at times the game being played indoors.

@Originalsly, Guess you got my mail late, sorry about that.

here is the view of that construction from the Brooklyn bridge.

the Brooklyn bridge is a marvel, you see that tiny thing sticking out on that far away island?
yea, thats the statue of liberty right on liberty island.
ferry cost roughly $20 to see the lady

Wall street, where the money is.

That huge white arcade-like structure is the Oculus, the new world trade center,
called One world trade center or Freedom tower, 6th tallest building in the world.

costs $37 to go inside world trade center, see the queue in the last image, they are about to go up

Since i am not ready to cough out $37, i took free pictures,

second picture is the 2 other WTC under construction.
Yes, now there will be 3.

For ppl who may someday find themselves in NY for the first time, This is New York subway, The trains are numbered, ABCDE...1234... etc
The trains have one of these numbers, which tells the destination. uptown or downtown depends on where you are headed.

The second picture is where you swipe your MetroCard, You have to get the card before you cross that line
there is always a vending machine right there where you buy the metrocard, Jump that and NYPD will arrest you.


3rd picture is in the train, check that so you dont pass your destination

We got 400 naira worth of yam for $20 the other day, thats 10,000 naira

so, don't be shy to bring your yams with you to the united states.
