昨日はレッスンが終わってから少し時間があったので、懸案の買い物を済ませるべく久々に42nd St、タイムズスクエアのあたりに行きました。地下鉄に乗ればたった15分位で着けるのですが、駅に降り立って少し歩くだけでも人の多さと広告の賑やかさに少々疲れました。学校のあるアッパーウェストサイドは割と落ち着いた住宅街なので、えらく雰囲気が違います。
Since I had some time after my lesson yesterday, I went to 42nd St, around Times Square, to buy something I wanted to get. It takes only 15 minutes or something to go there by subway from my apartment, but I got tired as I walk there, busy streets with full of people and neon signs. Since my apartment and school are located on rather calm residential area, the atmosphere of the city is really different compare to that of 42nd St. I am always amazed to find how Manhattan has various faces.
