The Subway

Some people have been asking me what the subway system in New York city is really like.

So, last time I was there I took a couple of photos.
In general, the trains themselves are pretty clean. The stations underground are a bit rough though. You definitely wouldn't want to hang out there just for fun - you get on the train, you get off the train and you leave.
I have to admit though, at the main stations such as Penn Station or 42nd Street (Times Square) or Grand Central Station - it is different. There are always a whole heap of people busking and performing - some of them are awesome! There are also a whole heap of homeless people - I'm know it doesn't compare to places like India, but it is still hard to see and know there is nothing I can do to help.

If you remember in an earlier post I mentioned this string group that I saw in Central Park that I really loved?? Well, I saw them at 42nd Street station on the weekend and took a photo of them for you all to see. They are truly amazing
