My name is Masha, I was born and grew up in Moscow. By nationality, I half- Russian, half-lezginka, but though I am Orthodox. I am a student of the Moscow State University. Essential part of my life is traveling, at the earliest opportunity, I fly abroad.
Today my story will be about the city which is used to be a dream of many people in the world – New York.
New York is a city of skyscrapers, the world’s best Broadway musicals, nightclubs, museums and the endless shopping opportunities. The main association with the city for mosts is the Statue of Liberty.
New York had the reputation of the most expensive city of the US, so come here a tourist who wants to see the US attractions personally, should be kept in mind – his purse will have a very hard time too. But this does not in any way negate the fact that New York – the city that is simply crazy, fascinating, shocking, fall in love, in short, do anything you want, but just do not leave you indifferent.
Having been to New York once you will want to return to it again and again.

- Always take your hand luggage and put all necessary as airport services do not work in the best way and is such that the luggage is lost
