New York City Double Decker

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Have you ever watched documentary entitled “The Cruise”? It was made in 1998 about the New York City Double Decker tour guide codenamed “Speed”. He was giving guidance about buildings and museum for person who want to enjoy New York. Usually old person from Asia like to look around and feel the New York free air. He was paid US$200 for 20 hours a week. Not really a decent job, but hey if you enjoy walk around the city, why not?

New York City Double Decker route is mostly circling Manhattan, visiting New York landmarks. It takes about 2.5 hours to complete. The route is including passing sport center’s Madison Square Garden, tallest building’s Empire State Building, and perfect-place-for-gathering Times Square. The bus departs as early as 8 o’clock in the morning and the latest trip departs at 5 in the afternoon. The price is not that expensive. Adult only need to pay US$37, while children get 10 dollar discount.

From the above, see the magnificent of New York skyscrapers, up to more than 100 floors above the ground. In spare time, why don’t we try to have conversation with the tour guide? Probably, he/she may have similar life like “Speed” in the movie.

Will Carrie Bradshaw tie the knot? Will it be with Mr. Big?

The movie will be release in USA on 30 May 2008. Will this movie compete with the other summer blockbuster movies 2008? Well, one thing for sure, Sex in The City has a whole wide fan based in the world. Successful novel based series fans will wait for this.
