NY VS London
I have travelled to London two years ago, it is a very beautiful city, with a lot of monuments and places, but if I have to decide between new york and london, without any doubt, I prefer new york. It has a lot of skyscrapers, and something a like a lot is the night life. When you go to the streets during the night there is a lot of people and lights, and it is beautiful to see that. Also new york has a lot of theme parks and other different leisure places where you can enjoy alone or preferably with your friends. Is a city with A LOT OF LIVE! Bye :D
