Manhattan Trip

Metro-North train

The Metro North train is very good and useful transportation that you can find in some towns outside of New York. A lot of people use this transportation in order to go to the city, and it is very useful to the people that work in Manhattan.
In my opinion, the train is confortable and clean, but I think that it can be better; I’m talking about the seats. The seats can be more comfortable, because the people stay here a long time.
Buying the tickets is easy, there are about four tickets machines. One thing that I would change is the price of the tickets, because I think is too expensive for the people that have to take the train everyday.
In conclusion, the train is a useful transportation that provides good facilities to the citizens. I would give it 3 stars.

Roosevelt Hotel


The Roosevelt Hotel is an old-style hotel but with a beautiful lobby. The location is desirable because it is close to Grand Central Station, at Madison Avenue. The cost per night varies, it depends on the room or the time that you choose, but the normal cost is $409 per night.
When we went to the hotel the staffs were very busy and they did not answer our questions in a polite way. They weren’t helpful and friendly. The atmosphere of the hotel is serious but very quiet. Most people are businessmen.

The hotel offers amenities like internet access, fitness center, business center and a dining room. Also it has a beautiful restaurant.
In conclusion, it is a beautiful hotel that everybody can visit when come to New York, and it is very comfortable. I would give it 4 stars, because it doesn't has a pool.

Dark but special

This is the history about something  that happened to me. One year ago, i was in my house in the morning, i was going to take a shower. when i was in the bathroom, I was in front of the mirrow when I saw something that walked behind me. I went round to see and I couldn't saw anything. I was very scary but I don't to worry about that and I continued my shower.

After shower i walked to my room to dress me and my door closed very strong, I grabbed my phone to call my brother because i was scary and in this moment I had a call for my neighbor, he were the father of a little kid that lived in my street that had cancer, and he was called me to said me that his son had died this morning.

We were very friends, and i think he went to my house to say me Goodbye!!!

ZEBRA

Zebras are African equids best known for their distinctive black and white stripes. Their stripes come in different patterns unique to each individual. There are 3 species of zebras: the plains zebra, the Grévy's zebra and the mountain zebra.

Zebras feed almost entirely on grasses, but may occasionally eat shrubs, herbs, twigs, leaves and bark. Their digestive systems allow them to subsist on diets of lower nutritional quality than that necessary for other herbivores. The common plains zebra is about 1.3 m at the shoulder with a body ranging from 2–2.6 m long with an 0.5 m tail. It can weigh up to 350 kg, males being slightly bigger than females

Female zebras mature earlier than the males, and a mare may have her first foal by the age of three. Males are not able to breed until the age of five or six. Mares may give birth to one foal every twelve months. She nurses the foal for up to a year. Like horses, zebras are able to stand, walk and suckle shortly after they are born. A zebra foal is brown and white instead of black and white at birth.
