withstanding old and new age. With 67 tracks of which no far-distance trains are
leaving, it is for sure the biggest suburb-connecting train station. Opened on

There are lots of crazy news to read these days. But when it comes to absurd
things (things, normal people won’t do, usually!) then it makes me think what

machines can be nasty during operation. in this case, an escalator in the New

When it comes to time, history is one of the words one may think of. In
this case, we speak of Macy’s, New York at Herold’s Place. It is the world’s

198.500 m² (2.13 million sqft.) fits everyone’s needs.

When discussing about climatic changes caused by man with a co-worker,

When it comes to police and USA, you’d better know how to behave. One
man in New York hd the bad luck to face NYPD officers with an itchy
trigger finger and got shot. The problem: He was armed with a knife and

Garage for WHAT you may ask? Yes, you read right. As there’s an official cell
phone prohibition in public schools of New York, pupils can store their cellphone
in one of the mobile storage units which stay at a certain spot when the first

I already mentionned, that I like Timelapse videos. This time, it’s from the
construction site of the Freedom Tower in New York where a camera has
recorded pictures of the construction over 8 years. They are now finally put

demonstrate against the enormous power of the banks and financial places such as the

the USA. They say that the storm is a category 3 storm that may also reach category 4.

Today I found this funny video on youTube where a guy is testing the Apple
Store workers’ patience to the maximum. The 3 Minutes video show 4 different
situations and the reaction is quite interesting. Where one would get a snarly
