I've already seen Stanford, MIT and HARVARD I couldn’t pass on YALE.
Getting to New Hampshire at evening I was glad to meet up with Tamar after years of seeing her in Israel it's finally my turn to be the one visiting, the very next day we grabbed breakfast and head to YALE law school building, Tamar showed us the library and dropped us at the beginning of the YALE tour.
If I had to choose from the above four I would have picked YALE. Oh and it's only 55,000$ a year.
Moving on, saying good bye to Tamar I've headed to my last stop before returning home Great Neck Long Island, I'm currently staying at Tamar's parents Dubi and Nava, I've got the entire top floor to myself,
Manhattan is one train ride away from Great Neck, in the past few days I boarded the "LIRR" train from Great-Neck to Penn station Manhattan and from there depends on my plan either I start walking or took the subway, I was surprised to see how good public transportation can be. Trains are on time, connections are made quickly and easily, I wouldn't like to think about trying to get around the city by car or even on a motorcycle, this city is made for walking, and I've been walking...
There's just so much to see and do here to name a few
Statue of liberty
after my last incident in Hertzlia I promised myself not to get on a boat, but this seemed much bigger and the distance to the statue wasn't that far, besides I had no choice if I'll like to see it up close.
UN
I've decided to take the tour which I would defiantly recommend, not surprisingly the group was extra interested in the Israeli Palestine conflict and the soon to come Palestine request for the UN to acknowledge them as the 194 member.
Top of the rock
Rockefeller building a great overview of New York City at night,
Metropolitan museum
defiantly the biggest museum I've been to so far, after spending around three hours there seeing the Egyptian and the Asian exhibitions I couldn't continue.
Natural history museum
the dinosaurs display is very unique and the planetarium screening was really good.

Surprisingly I've got a message from Saimon Grinberg (he shoots for Ashkelon) it turns out he's also here in NY doing some work for NBC, we got together for dinner, Simon and other three friends of him, I've got to try Fried Pickles, after dinner we went to his friend's Jan apartment and head to the roof (25th floor) to see once again the city at night from above
.Saimon Also gave me a private tour to NBC I've got to see the control rooms and sets where they record some of the popular shows such as Saturday night live.
[farewell after 11590 KM]
I'm not sure if I'm lazy, tired or just finding it hard to write down about NY there's just so much going on here and all this walking gets me exhausted by the end of the day also the fact that I'll be back in 3 more days doesn't encourage me to write,
I've just missed five calls from home it's 19:43 in Israel now and I really wish they'll try again once dinner is over.
Shabat Shalom everyone, I'll see you all really soon.
