Qn : Its fun to get around NYC time and again with relatives/friends...
1.YES
2.NO
Relative's : Uncle/Aunt ,Thaatha/Paati ,Thoorathu Mama's/Athai's....
Friend's : Friend ,Friend's Friend ,Friend's Friend's Friend ......
Pona vaaram ,naan romba busy-Not at work ,but donning the role of a guide,photographer for the visitors.
Last Tuesday night,I got a phone call from my uncle.....
BB :Prabhu, Naanga thursday morning NewYork varom.....
Me : (quiet)
BB :Enna ,weekday nu paakuriya....nee leave potudu....
Me :Whoa !! What a suggestion !! (Ippo thaan LOP'la India poitu vanthen..Hmm)
Vera vazhi illai..Dharma sankatamaana nilai..
BB :Manhattan-ku car-la pogalaama..?
Me: Yes, If you can afford to pay approx $20 /Hour as parking charges....
BB: Oh..Train-la pogalaam
BB listed 100 many sites that he knew thru hear-say and wanted to visit everything in one day..
Me :Just not possible to appreciate the greatness of this city in a day !!
A tourist's view of NYC differs from the one that works in NYC :The walks thru' those bustling crowd every day ,looking at the tall buidlings ,Crossing the road even before the traffic light turns green in a NewYork minute ,etc etc....Namma Makkal-ukku idhu pudhu anubhavam.... Ooru suthi paarka oru Train Map irunthaal pothum..But they think,they might get lost....
The visitors insist on seeing the city attractions. In the past 3 yrs , i would have guided people to Statue of Liberty ~ 20 times ,Niagara falls~8 times ,numerous walks thru lower manhattan , Empire buildings, mid town, china town ,little italy,Times Square ,Central Park ,and almost all places of attraction here..a regular ritual for me..Is anyone there joining ranks with me ??
All said, Its indeed a varied experience everytime ,visiting the same places ,but with different people...
I LOVE NY .
Anyways,Am seriously thinking of taking up a job offer in Alaska..Live myself with Bears and Beers...U know wha'am sayin' ??

Prabhu, I am visiting NY. Can you take me around? ..
Anyways, I have a similar experience with Niagara falls. I have lost count of the number of times I have taken my friends / relatives to Niagara falls. Seems it is a "MUST SEE" place.
Adengappa!! I too live in NY and I have had the same experience :) I have been to almost all palces atleast three times and visitng them in a single day is pretty much freaky:) anyway its a different experience
Please don't move Prabhu...I am planning to visit NY soon.! Alaska can wait...But please do let me know...We are also planning a trip to Alaska soon.!!!

Tell me about it! We lived in Orlando for some time. Dropping off people at the disney entrances was a couple of hours commute and we refused to do so after sometime. We gave them bus timings or rental car office phone numbers ;-)
But do let me know when you move to Alaska, I heard it is a beautiful place to visit :-)
