From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyli ne of Man hatta n for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me un pack at the hotel and the n left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the n ext day.

Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaura nt n ear the hotel to get something to eat. Because I c ouldn ' t speak a word of English, I

could n ' t tell the waiter what I wan ted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter did n ' t un dersta nd me. Fin ally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights , and huge crowds of people.

I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk aro und the city. I wan ted to see everythi ng on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wan ted to try.
