New York Times

I am once again (and again) in the US, this time in New York to work for a banking giant. But this seems to be an entirely different experience, No cars to travel, lot of walking on the roads and commuting by the Path and the subway. Its has been an tiring but exciting 3 weeks till now. New York is outright pacy and different than the other cities i have seen in the US. I stay in a place called Journal Square in Jersey City and travel to Mid Town Manhattan, where my office is. The commute takes about an hour and i change 3 trains to reach my office. Its Path which carries me from Journal Square to the 33rd Street. From there, i take the N or the R subway uptown trains headed for Queens to get down at Times Square. From Times Square, there are shuttles every minute to the Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan. From the Grand Central Terminal, its a  five minute walk to the Lexington Avenue to reach my office in the Park Avenue. The significance of this journey i described is that the most visited tourist locations of the world are on my way. The empire state building is in the 34th street and sometimes in the evening back home from office, i take a walk back to 33rd street from my office only to see this engineering marvel. Grand Central is again a spot that you cannot miss for its architectural beauty. Thousands of people throng New York to see the places that i just mentioned, but it has turned out to be a visit to these place everyday for me. Its turning out to be a new and enriching experience for me here. Will keep you posted more on my life here as i experience.
