Another tuesday, another reason why i think i love New York. The first reason was the cobble stone, the second reason that i mentioned a little bit last time is the fact that there is a hugh park in the middle of one of the worlds metropolitan cities. When i say hugh i defiantly mean it, its almost one kilometer wide, and stunning four kilometers long (40°46′55″N 73°57′58″W). You know that i come from a small town in Sweden with aprox 20 000 inhabitants within the city core, if i just give you some fast facts, central park has 25 000 000 visitors every single year. It was built 1857, witch makes it 151 year old. (it did not open until 1859 so it will most certainly have its 150 anniversary next year).

Something that i really like about the big apple is the park, it makes it possible to just relax from the city madness and get away from the chaos. But another thing, the nature is not that far from the urban environment and that takes the thoughts right back to home, where i can get on the bike for 10 minutes and be out on the country side. Not that central park equals to the red barns and Pig Farms, but it makes me positive about the future. Thank you for letting me tell you why i think i love New York have a great tuesday morning and enjoy work.
