5th day in NY On the fifth day, I went to Central park with a friend by a bike. Let me explain the share bike system in NY. There are so many bike stations in NY. You can park and pick up a bike whichever stations you want to. They also have a great point system. By parking bike at a station where there are a few bikes, you can earn a point. And by picking up a bike from a station where there are full of bikes, you can earn a point as well. With this certain amount of points, someone can ride a bike for free. This is how they avoid bike shortage and bike spot shortage. And thanks to my friend, I was able to ride a bike for free! We enjoyed biking in the Central park. Some people were running, others were taking a walk and the others were also biking. My friend had a speaker with groovy music. Some of the people talked him " I like this song!" and some were getting into the rhythm and some were singing. Our direction was same and we were moving together somehow so I felt a sense of unity with the song though we were totally strangers. After arriving at a place where there was a beautiful grass, we laid a cloth and had brunch. There were so many people there. I noticed that that is how people in NY relieve their stress. After we were relaxed, we went to a bathroom. A queue for a women bathroom was so long that some women were waiting for a male bathroom, which never happens in Japan. But my friend told me it happens in NY. After that, we went to a best pizza restaurant in Manhattan. It's very small place but so crowded. We ordered two slice of pizza. While we were eating, some people asked my friend if it was okay to use tissue papers on our table. Whenever he was asked, he tried charging like " one dollar please." Then, they told jokes each other. I like their friendliness! After that we got a foot massage. I was feeling good while having massage. However, my friend was like a grounding fish. He told me that it was so tickles that he couldn't stand it. It was torture for him. That was funny.
