Today we started out with a bus trip to Harlem, where we had a really good guide, who could tell stories from his own life while telling us about Harlem.
In Harlem we also saw a church called saint John the divine, which was a huge church, with a lot of beautiful architecture and decorations.
After the bus trip we went to meet a danish journalist, Louise, who has lived in New York for five years now, and she showed us some of the areas in New York, that was affected by the immigrants, and where you could clearly see, how the immigrants are bringing their own culture to New York and either hold on tight to their traditions, or mix their tradition and cultures with the culture and tradition in New York, and that way they create a new kind of culture.
After the trip around the immigrant areas, we of course went shopping at times square and 5th avenue, where we found a lot of great clothes and checked out the huge M&M store with all you could ever wish for with M&M, and a really sickening sweet smell of sugar and chocolate, I am really happy that I do not have to work in that smell every day.
After hours of shopping and eating some really good food, we just went back to the hotel and had some rest.
