New York – an overwhelming city

Those who don't know them can't imagine it. New York City, a city of superlatives. Nothing has a normal size. Everything, absolutely everything, is basically oversized in NYC.

Gigantic high-rise giants compete for their place in the Guinness Book of Records. Roads at right angles, designed as on a drawing board, draw their deep furrows through a mountain range of stone, glass and mirrors.

There is movement everywhere, there is no peace anywhere, different smells constantly pass you by, nothing stands still. NYC is a mega-cluster of human existence, a huge termite pile, in which it is constantly scurrying and the individual does not exist. It is part of the whole or it does not exist.

And in the middle of it a runaway, not true to the drawing board in rank and file. Right in the middle of it, it simply runs diagonally through the whole city: Broadway!

Here, too, the megalomania of human creation has once again left its mark. The Times Square. Not just a little advertising. Unbelievable, one must see it. Screens that put every cinema to shame. Incredible are these dimensions, simply unbelievable. It glitters and sparkles, walls that seem to move. Companies tirelessly praise their offers in the hotspot of the largest advertising spaces in the world. This is where you have to go, this is where you have to be… whether as a tourist or as a company, if you can afford it.

It's a city of contrasts. Old and new exist side by side. Mostly the modern dominates the old. And sometimes the old isn’t updated simply because it is not worth it or because it has been the way things function for too long: the subway - not only ancient, but sometimes even run down.

We just had to go here, too:

Summa sumarum NYC is a city to marvel and wonder at. It is inspiring, lively, full of impressions and dazzling like a star. It's hard to describe, everyone experiences it differently and it just goes beyond any normal experience. Anyone who doesn't live in a city like Shanghai, Tokyo or Beijing is simply a country bumpkin. We have all enjoyed you and are impressed by this difference and extreme liveliness. We will surely remember this wonderful city. And some of us will even come back.
