As the title says, it’s the last week here and we are spending it in New York because that is our favorite state and we wanted to explore more in New York. We have planned a little to do in New York this week, going over Brooklyn bridge, take a boat around Manhattan, shopping, museum, visit Soho, eat good and just living life. We will of course also visit one world trade center, where world trade center stood before the terrible incident happened, 9/11- 2011. It was act of terrorism, the objective was directed at civil and military buildings in USA. 2 of 4 planes flew into world trade center and the both towers plummeted. Approximately 2700- 3000 people died so this is a big incident for the americans because it feels as a threat but also because many people lost someone that day which make it even worse. Today there is a new tower there as I said but just one this time. Anyway, I really love New York because I love to be surrounded by many people, New York feels like a city with possibilities where you can be whoever you want, everything is okey there.

I just wanna give you a conclusion to this trip, as I said, I wanted to see new things and experience something new that maybe could give me something. It did it really did, I got to see how many other peoples living, other cultures and actually learn more about the world. This trip was really rewarding and not just that is was fun and a memory for life. This is a tip from me, take a roadtrip in USA, that was one of the best thing I have ever done in my life.

Sorry for bad update, been so much other stuff to do and I want to enjoy the last weeks here as much as I could. Yeah so what have we been doing since the last post? We have been in Atlanta and Nashville which was two cool cities with a lot of people. It is funny how similar the cities and states might look like, but everyone have their own charm and they are pretty different actually. We have also been in Chicago and strolling around, watched the typical Chicago mark, Cloud gate. Now we are a bit from Detroit, we drove past Detroit(you know the poor city that Eminem grown up in) and I can tell you that was not a lovely sight. As I earlier told you USA has a lot of class distinctions and I think many know that but to witness it is another story.

The middle class in USA is about to fade away and the class distinctions becomes bigger between rich and poor, it is a capitalist society. People say that you can build an empire if you want to, but obviously that is not true. In USA many people are born into a class. USA is about social networks too and often you preferred to be with people like you. Of course it is facilities but it’s a lot more tougher for some people. Your education has a big matter and the educations cost a fortune. In USA they pay low taxes which lead that the country can not afford a good welfare. Every individ in USA has a way of thinking that everyone needs to fend for oneselves, if your kid get sick and you can not afford it, then you can’t cure it.

It is very unfair, if you earn much you serve on living in USA and if you are poor, yeah then you are really poor. It is terrible that people who want a good education for example can’t have it, that is the people I feel sorry for, it shouldn't be that way. To see another sight of the view, it is many people who want to do their best but can’t, the problem is just if they do something about it (like in sweden) many people are employing the system. It’s sad, if everyone just did their best and what they liked and wanted every human to live a fairfull life, would everything be so much easier. And maybe this world would be more equal, everyone needs to open their minds.

Kisses- Johanna
