January 26th and 27th: Chinese new year show and end of the trip...

January 26th: Chinese show
One word: don't go to see it :S

January 27th: The End :(
It is time to go back to France ... :(
Last photo before sending them to the airport. Have a nice trip Seb and Ketia :D and hope that you enjoyed Chicago :)

January 25th: Basket ball match

One thing that our visitors must see: a Bulls match :D
Great atmosphere with crazy shows and light and even small fireworks inside the gymnasium :P

Here is the video introduction of the Bulls team :D

But at the end, they lost :(
We won't get our Bigmac ... One should know that if the Bulls wins and if they score more than 100 points, everybody wins a BigMac xD
But there are also several small games allowing us to win some interesting things like a donut at the Dunkin donut (of course i get one xD)

Great match :) Now just look for the next match :P if it is not too expensive ...

Almost the end of the visit...

Another day in New York :D
After visiting all the most famous building and attractions, we visited some other "small" places.

First, this is the war ship used for the film "I am a legend" :P
This ship is in Staten Island for reparation... but it seems to be THE ship used by Will Smith for his golf party :PHaha and then in the subway, nice dance of Michael Jackson with a well-done Moon walk :D
I didn't upload the video because of a problem with its compression and its format :S
But I know someone who is watching carefully how to do a nice moon walk :P
Another place: Madison Square Garden. I think it corresponds to a place where several famous sportsman played like :
Another big building in New York: the library composed by several buildings. This is one of them :P
Several small parks are in Manhattan. Here is the Bryant Park, one of them, which is not very big (Central Park is the biggest one):

Finally, the Lincoln Center: it is a cultural place with several arts organization.
There will be no more photos of New York :)
The last day is reserved for shopping :P

A word for my extended family in New York: thanks a lot for accomodating me :D
你们待我那么好,我不知道这么谢谢你们 :D
Bye and take care ;)

Visit of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island :)

Next step visit: the Statue of Libery and Ellis Island :D
Here is a photo from the ferry to the Statue of Liberty ...Some photos of the Statue of Liberty :P


And this was taken in the Statue of Liberty's island. According to some persons, the nice guy who took the photo shouldn't take my legs ... xD
Ooooooh forgot where it was taken :P . Maybe you will find it thanks to the photo :P
And finally a photo of the Statue at the end of the day:
To sum up, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island can be visited with the same ticket (12 dollars) and they are located on 2 differents islands. First, on the Statue of Liberty Island, you can be closer to the Statue :P and you can go into the small museum in the pedestal of the Statue but it wasn't possible to go inside the Statue ... :(
But it was interesting: who can imagine that Gustave Eiffel helped a lot for the construction of this Statue :P (maybe everybody, I have no culture :D)
Secondly, Ellis Island. There is nothing in this island except a museum shwing the history of this island and dealing about immigration.

Very nice to visit :)
And of course, this is only one part of all the photos :P (this time 180 photos xD)

Central Park

One famous place in Manhattan : CENTRAL PARK. It is a very big park in the middle of Manhattan :D. Here is the map but it is not the whole map: the whole one is twice bigger (as big as the loop in Chicago and maybe bigger :D)And then some photos taken inside the park :P
Hehe and we were so lucky that we attended to a filming :D But i don't know if you will recognize the actor :P
And someone has one minute of this film in his camera xD (This film is "The International").
Another view near the biggest lake of Central park ...
A photo taken when we were lost in the park :D
One of the best view (this was from the castle inside the park)


As the previous post, all the photos are not on the blog :P , close to 100 photos this time :P
Hehe it took us a full afternoon to visit Central Park (a bit more than half of it ...).

And some persons were bitten by a rat ...
