Some Thoughts on Times Square
by Erica Johansson on 18. Dec, 2007 in North America
People visiting New York City will most likely sooner or later come to Times Square around 42nd and 47th Street. Before I came to Times Square I knew it was a famous theater district, but I honestly didn’t know so much more than that. Although the safety is much better today than before 9/11, keep your wallet and [...]
The Empire State Building
by Erica Johansson on 14. Dec, 2007 in North America
I have always loved city views, especially at night. And so far the sight from the Empire State Building is my favorite. We were lucky when we got there because we only had to wait in line about thirty minutes before we could take the lift to the 86th floor at 448 m. The Empire State Building [...]

If you happen to be in New York City on a Sunday morning, take the subway to 116th Street in Harlem where there are more Baptist Churches than in any other part of the city. The gospel service begins at ten and can sometimes be heard from the street. We discovered a beautiful Baptist Church [...]
“If Paris is France, Coney Island, between June and September, is the World.”
by Erica Johansson on 13. Oct, 2007 in North America
Saturday afternoon. We stand by Stillwell Avenue, Coney Island’s main station. Most people living on Coney Island, located in southernmost Brooklyn with its famous beach on the Atlantic Ocean, are Hispanic or African-American. The area was once a major resort and home to amusements parks as the Steeplechase Park, the heart of Coney between 1897 and 1964. Its founder George [...]
