In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothin’ you can’t do, now you’re in New York... The tune to the song Empire State Of Mind by Jay-Z reverberated in my head as I got off the Amtrak train at Penn Station in New York, the United States. It felt great to be on the platform after spending almost an entire day on board the Lake Shore Limited from Chicago, Illinois. I quickly made my way out of the bustling station.

Stepping onto the streets of New York City with the ubiquitous yellow cabs and skyscrapers all around made the tune play even louder in my head.
