Tekemistä paikassa New York

Tein tänään tämän Vapaudenpatsas Express -risteilyn New Yorkissa, ja rehellisesti sanottuna se osoittautui erinomaiseksi päätökseksi. Aluksi olin kahden vaiheilla tämän ja ilmaisen Staten Islandin lautan välillä, mutta katsottuani muutaman YouTube-videon tajusin, että tämä risteily tarjoaisi paljon paremmat ja läheisemmät näkymät Vapaudenpatsaalle – ja niin se todellakin teki. Maksoin noin 25 dollaria, mikä mielestäni oli täysin sen arvoista. Koska matkustin arkipäivän iltapäivänä, lautta oli yllättävän vähän täynnä, mikä antoi minulle runsaasti tilaa ja aikaa ottaa kuvia ilman kiirettä. Risteilyalus on erittäin hyvin huollettu ja siinä on useita istumapaikkavaihtoehtoja. Siellä on avoin yläkansi upeilla kaupunkinäkymillä sekä sisäkannet niille, jotka haluavat pysyä lämpimänä kylmemmällä säällä. Opas oli myös erinomainen – erittäin hauska, informatiivinen ja selitti New Yorkin siluettia ja lähialueen maamerkkejä todella hyvin. Koko matka kesti noin 45–50 minuuttia. Mukava, maisemallinen ja ehdottomasti hintansa arvoinen.

Erittäin hyvä kokemus, rahan ja ajan arvoinen. Upeat näkymät, voit nauttia koko Manhattanin maisemista. Pukeudu hyvin saadaksesi hyviä kuvia.

The views are stunning. It's so windy and on the observation deck.

Affordable Trip to the Empire State Building, one of tallest building names in american history. It is also spring time meaning much cooler wind in the 86th floor open observation deck!

Beautiful view of New York City. It's so easy to use the ticket, just scan the QR code.

I can't believe I got front-row seats! My seat was Orchestra Row A, 112. Since seats are assigned randomly, you never know where you'll end up until they're confirmed! I had to look up quite a bit, so I imagine a seat closer to the middle would offer a better, more comprehensive view. However, being so close, I could really feel the actors' sweat and the vibrations, which was incredibly powerful! I even dozed off a little from looking up so much. There was a scene where Genie handed his hat to the conductor, and the conductor looked over at us and smiled, which was adorable. Being in the front row allowed me to witness moments like that. The magic carpet scene was truly, truly, truly like flying, and I was staring intently, trying to figure out how they did it. It was that amazing! Everyone's costumes were so sparkly and wonderful, and the actress playing Jasmine was incredibly beautiful and cute; I was captivated. There's a line for the restroom during intermission, but there's plenty of time, so don't worry. Many people were also buying drinks and souvenirs during the break! I think it's a good idea to arrive at the venue about 30 minutes before the show starts.

It's very easy to enter the museum, just scan the QT code from voucher. There are many famous paintings such as the starry night by Vincent van Gogh, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí.

It's value for money and easy to make reservation to each attraction. I'm so happy to buy this pass.

The Lion King is familiar to Koreans, and since there isn't much dialogue, it's not difficult even if your English isn't perfect! I recommend The Lion King for your first Broadway experience!
