Ducks and gorillas (and a bit of getting lost)

The headline isn't related to actual animals. Today we went to the Empire State building (the same building that appears in the movie King Kong). it looks bit like Chrysler building, and we tried to go to the Empire State Building without any map. We ended up to the lobby of the Chrysler Building :D As soon as we stepped in to the building, we realized our mistake. Luckily, the real Empire State Building weren't far away.
The Empire State Building is quite a tourist place. It's quite expensive (especially if you include the New York skyride, which is basically kind of a roller coaster simulator with New York sights). And you need also to wait in queues A LOT. Otherwise, the visit was exciting and the view over New York was fabulous.

We went also to New York Rangers-Anaheim Mighty Ducks game to Madison Square Garden. We went there by subway, and somehow it feels that travelling with metro is a little confusing. When we got out from the metro, we started to walk in a wrong direction. We had to ask direction to MSG, and we weren't fra away, only a block in wrong direction. Game was super, though Ducks lost and Selänne or Koivu didn't score any goals.

The New Yorkers have shown the nature: they are polite, talkative and nice in a correct way. I like it. There are also some things that annoy me: at a market prices do not include taxes, which will be added to the total price at the cashier. The toilets suck and there's no bidets anywhere, and the half of the commercials on the TV are medicine commercials.
