In the Subway



For those of you who may be viewing for the first time, I am currently in the US until late August, so I am posting from my homeland


I am ever fascinated by the NYC subway. People in Belgrade asked, "Aren't you afraid to travel alone in the subway in New York?" But I am not. I know bad things can happen, but I have found New Yorkers extremely kind and helpful, above and below ground.

You are right about New Yorkers - somehow they get an undeserved reputation. My son & I travel to NYC from Baltimore several times a year and have never had an issue. Lovvvvve the new header btw [and so does my son, Radovan].

Quite an artistic photograph! I like all the photos you've posted so far from NYC...

"Red, white, and blue" stands out in my mind, for some reason! ;-)

Btw, when I saw the name of your blog a few weeks ago, my first thought was: "I hope she's not vegeterian/vegan" :-D.

Hello Bibi. I just wrote that name on my post about Bibi Netanyahu, then I saw your name on a blogroll. It must be a sign that we should meet. :)
Love your subway sign. Like an icon.
Say hello to "the old country" (mine too) for me. Have fun in New York.
Greetings from Jerusalem.

I ride the subway at all hours, and haven't had a problem yet! We New Yorkers are actually a pretty tame and friendly (though not boring) bunch.

ELECTION TIME AGAIN...

Elections pop up here seemingly at someone's whim. In June there will be another round of elections for the City Assembly, due to allege...
