Five hundred and ninetieth chapters sweep Manhattan II
Now it is exactly seven years and more than ten days since the attack. The original ruins have long been cleared and many small trees have been planted. Two large square swimming pools are located in this small forest. There is no one swimming in them.
No. In fact, it's not a swimming pool. Those two square grooves are the bases of the Twin Towers. Although they have been neatly repaired by black granite, you can still imagine the tragic situation at that time if you look at the nearby buildings.
.
Surrounding these two bases, there are several buildings of different heights that have been rebuilt or renovated. When the Twin Towers collapsed, the buildings closest to them were also affected.
It is said that the New York City Government is planning to build a taller and safer building here, which seems to be called the Freedom Tower. It is said that it will be completed on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. However, Hong Tao knows that this is all nonsense. At least 13 years ago, this Freedom Tower was
If you can't finish your work, this place won't
What are the popular tributes, gifts, 100-day assault, etc. When it’s time to take a lunch break, when it’s time to get off work, when it’s time to go on strike, the workers will not give you one more second of work just because of what is here, nor will the bank.
On any anniversary, you will be charged a penny less in interest.
Hong Tao didn't even take a photo of this ruin, nor did he stop to look for a bird's eye view from a high place. This thing belonged to someone else's scar, so it was inappropriate to joke about it. With a heavy heart, Hong Tao couldn't bear it, so he just passed it by.
Don't make things difficult for anyone.
After passing the ruins of the World Trade Center, in front is the famous Wall Street. This is the financial center of the world. It would make the whole world sneeze if it catches a cold. It is 100% a heifer riding a wire, and NB carrying lightning. But Hong Tao is here
It's not the right time. Wall Street has been suffering from a cold since last year. Although I took a lot of medicine, the condition has never been under control, and it has turned into pneumonia.
Just a week ago, when Hong Tao and Fatty Bu were still fishing on the Amazon River, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, had filed for bankruptcy protection, and Merrill Lynch, the third largest investment bank, had been
On the day of the bank takeover, there was an outcry in the New York Stock Exchange. It recorded the largest single-day decline since 9/11, and the biggest economic crisis of the 21st century had officially arrived.
Although the huge stars and stripes on the door of the New York Stock Exchange are still very clean, the elites in professional suits walking on the streets all have sad faces. Even when they see Eileen and the other three beauties, they all raise their eyebrows.
I can't afford to take another look.
Hong Tao doesn't have much interest in this kind of financial street. According to Beijing dialect, people here can make hundreds of thousands of dollars in and out every minute. They are not on the same level as us. We have different paths and do not work together. But it should be followed.
You still have to take a photo, first take a photo with President Washington in front of the Federal Building. In Hong Tao's own evaluation, this president is still a very high character, and then go to find the NB bull.
But Hong Tao and the other four searched the entire Wall Street, and they didn't even see the shadow of Copper Bull. Could it be that they were deceived? Wasn't it said to be right at the door of the Evidence Exchange? It could still run away?
What to do if you have a problem? Call the police! The police in New York are all big and round, and Hong Tao doesn't want to use his slender figure to irritate others, so this job has to be done by Nancy, who is from New York.
After asking three police officers in a row, Nancy finally asked about the whereabouts of the copper bull. It turned out that the bull was not in Wall Street at all, but on the extension line at the intersection of Broadway Street and Wall Street extension. It was still far away from Wall Street.
There are 3 blocks.
Americans are really not particular. When Hong Tao and the others left the north entrance of Wall Street and planned to go along Broadway to see the copper bull, they discovered that opposite the north entrance was a tall church with a steeple. Opposite the church was the materialistic Wall Street.
, you said that as soon as you enter the house and finish reciting the sutra, you will read futures and stocks when you go out. Is this considered a spiritual comfort, or is it blasphemy?
The church is very beautiful, really beautiful. It is made of big stones. It is tall and pointed. It is like a dagger pointed upward. It is said that when the World Trade Center fell down, the church did not dare to
When it fell towards the church, it was just a piece of flying debris that smashed a tree in the backyard of the church, so I can't completely disbelieve in gods.
TrinityChurch! This is the name of the church. It is easy to understand. Church is the church, and Trinity means a group of three. In Christian doctrine, there are the Father, the Son, and the living beings. Together they are the Trinity Church, commonly known as the Trinity Church.
Or called Holy Trinity Church.
This name is not unique to this church. There are churches with this name in many cities around the world. However, the owner of this Trinity Church is more powerful. It is the Anglican Church. Hong Tao doesn’t know exactly what it does. It should be similar to
The Chinese Buddhist Association, they are not only the owners of this church, they are also the largest landowners in New York. Many places are their property, which in Chinese terms is temple property!
The copper bull was found, and it also found a beautiful church. Hong Tao felt that he had made a profit, and he went to the copper bull with satisfaction, grabbed the horns of the bull and took a few photos. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly discovered
Nancy and Bonnie disappeared. I walked around and found them. It turned out that they had gone behind the cow's butt to take pictures.
"Whore!!! How could you do such a nosebleeding thing in broad daylight!" Hong Tao also wanted to go behind the cow's butt to see what he could see. When he turned around, he was immediately attracted by Nancy.
and Bonnie was stunned by her actions.
Nancy and Bonnie were half squatting behind the cow's buttocks, stroking two round balls from between the two cow legs and posing happily! This cow is a bull! As soon as Hong Tao saw the two things they were touching, he immediately
The gender of the copper bull has been determined! These two girls are so bold and bold, they dare to touch this directly in front of people all over the street... It's so exciting!
"You come and touch it too! It has magical power!" Nancy gritted her teeth when she saw Hong Tao staring at their movements, and enthusiastically took Hong Tao's hand and pressed it upward.
"I'll forget it...I'm not suitable!" Hong Tao said in his heart, it must have divine power! But it depends on gender.
"Touch it, it can bless you with a son!" Irene also grabbed a passerby at this time and asked him to help take pictures. She also ran under the Tongniu's butt, raised her hands like Dong Cunrui, and grabbed it directly
two!
"Oh, I'm giving birth to a son!" Only then did Hong Tao understand why older girls dared to touch this part openly. It turned out that other people's wishes were beautiful and pure, while his own thoughts were more dirty and vulgar.
In fact, the most famous attraction in New York is not Central Park, nor the many high-end shops on Wall Street and Fifth Avenue, but should be a statue of a woman. This woman symbolizes holding a book in her left hand and holding a torch in her right hand.
That means telling the students that even if there is a power outage, there will be no delay in seeing it!
Regardless of whether Hong Tao understands the meaning of this right or not, everyone will know who this girl is as soon as she hears it, right? Yes, it is the Statue of Liberty that often appears in movies and TV shows and represents the American spirit. But now Hong Tao cannot get up close
I saw her because she was not on Manhattan Island, but on a small island in the estuary of the Hudson River. It was still several kilometers away from the southern end of Manhattan Island. At the National Museum of the United States where Hong Tao and the others were standing, there was only one
A shadow can be seen in the distance.
Since you have to take a boat to see the Statue of Liberty, and the place where you take the boat is actually not on Manhattan Island, but in Jersey City across the Hudson River, so Hong Tao listed her as a tourist attraction that can or should not be seen, so go there if you have the time.
Just go around, don’t bother to go there if you don’t have time.
So far, I have basically seen the highlights of Lower Manhattan Island. I will not go to places like South Street Harbor and the South Street Harbor Museum. The main reason is that parking is too troublesome. It sounds like a long story, but actually it starts from Irene Apartments.
It didn't take more than an hour to see Tongniu, of which at least 10 minutes were spent parking the car to pick up the car.
After looking at the downtown area, it was time to move on to the midtown area. Nancy drove the car directly onto Roosevelt Avenue, drove north along the east side of Manhattan Island, and then turned onto First Avenue at E42 Street. On the approach bridge of the lower highway,
Hong Tao saw a tunnel entrance below, and it looked familiar. Irene told him that this was the Queens Midtown Tunnel, a river tunnel connecting Midtown Manhattan and Queens.
The reason why Hong Tao looked familiar was because he had heard the name here in the movie. He had watched the movie many times. It was called "Die Hard" and it was a series of police movies starring Bruce Willis.
, in the third episode, after the terrorist Simon robbed the gold nuggets in the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank, he used a dump truck to pull the gold nuggets and escaped through this tunnel.
However, Nancy is not very familiar with this movie. For her age, this movie, which was filmed more than ten years ago, seems a bit old. She did not bring Hong Tao to see the tunnel, she came here.
The first purpose was to find a place to park, and the second purpose was to let Hong Tao take a look at the building on the north side of the street, but unfortunately Hong Tao never paid attention.
There were too many buildings here, of all kinds, and Hong Tao was already tired of aesthetics. He looked at the building opposite, but he looked at it the same way. Even he thought the shape was very rustic. It didn't have any characteristics, it was just wide and tall.
The large slab building has a glass curtain wall on the outside.
"This is the United Nations Headquarters?!" When the four people came out of the underground parking lot, Hong Tao finally saw the name on the building clearly, and his original disdainful expression became more solemn. After all, this is the most powerful organization on earth. Although there are
It's not that easy to talk about at that time, but from a legal perspective it can be considered an earth-level organization.
Tourists are allowed to visit some areas of the United Nations Headquarters, but it is not free. They actually charge 12 US dollars, which is really shameful. Even if you pay, you cannot enter casually, and strict security checks are required, and then about every
A temporarily organized tour group will be allowed in after 20 minutes.
