The City That Never Sleeps

                    In the evening I decided it was the right time to show Times Square. I know, I know, it doesn't seem that special after you spend in the city more than a month.

                    But admit it, the first time you were coming to NYC, unless you've lived here your whole life, you were picturing Times Square full of lights, taxis and people rushing around.                     So I didn't think my aunt was an exclusion, and I brought her to the most touristy spot in NYC on her first night. But, even though you eventually get used to this view, the first impression is always "WOW!"                     And I cant even explain how much I love when people actually get excited about the places I take them.   When we were sitting on the  red  stairs, I saw my aunt's eyes, I noticed how bright they were. I don't know if they were that bright from the surrounding light or from the happiness and excitement. Whatever the answer was, it made me happy. 

                    "We have so much to see!' I kept talking and explaining what we were going to do in a few next days. 'Not sure though, if we have enough time to do everything. I wish there were just 5 more hours in one day!'                    'Well...' - my aunt replied. 'It the city that never sleeps, so how about we follow its craziness, save this time and win't sleep?'                    My aunt actually just actually offered to spend a sleepless night in NYC, Dang, this girl catches up with the craziness of the place pretty fast! As I'm always up for the craziest ideas my friends have, this seemed even pretty normal and legit.                    However, I've never seen the city in such light. Walking down Broadway, we saw drunk old men leaving gentleman's clubs (I have no clue how these places are absolutely invisible in daylight), unreasonably laughing frat boys, girls wearing clothes, main purpose of which was to get your attention. All of this was a different city, I've never seen before. And I was glad to be just a member of audience and not a participant. 
                    4 AM. Coffee shop. The guy there is smiling and looking right into my eyes trying to find the reason of such an early/late visiting. Yeah... who will even think that there are crazy visitors like us.                    

 5.10 AM. Time to get a train to the ferry. We're on subway, laughing and hal-sleeping. I still can't find the reason, why we were that tired! I think it's the poisonous night vibes of the city.                     When we got to the ferry, I spent most of the time sleeping. I swear, I couldn't just open my eyes. People looked at us like something was wrong with us, but come on, they saw much weirder staff in this city!                     But at this point we couldn't just go to the ferry and leave. Of course, we went to see Wall Street Bull.

                     7 AM. "Hey!" - My aunt says, "it's Today Show time now, right? I actually want to see how it's made." It was her only chance to see it, as later it would be weekend. Of course, we went there.                     Looking at everything that was happening there I was just smiling as I knew, that's what I want to do. I could see everything filmed and shot, and at the same time see how it appeared on TV screens in the entire country. The excitement and inspiration I got that morning is very significant. It's just always great to know what you want to do, It;s even better to see that it's happening right by your side, and it's absolutely terrific to know that you'll be able to reach this if you work hard in a couple of years. 
                    

My aunt got sort of infected by my excitement. We were smiling and basically bouncing around seeing the working process around us, At about 9 we left, and finally made it to bed.
