I really enjoyed our third visit and second tour to GCT. I really enjoyed it because it provided congruent information along with our first tour with dan. Dans tour was a more inside tour and behind the scenes tour where as our second tour guide provided us with many important information about the outside. I enjoyed three major things during our second tour.
Firstly, when we were standing in pershing square which is also Park Ave, you see so many tall buildings, However, when you are standing on the corner of park ave and East 41st, you look in front of you, you see an amazing building, which is not so tall, with beautiful sculptures and a 14ft clock, and when you look to your left you see another not so tall building which is the New York Public Library which are both major tourist attractions with amazing architecture history.
Secondly when we were standing in Pershing Square, When our tour guide asked how tall do you think and the clock and sculpture was, I got it so wrong, although my guess was not stated aloud it was stated in my head. When he said the clock was 14 feet and the sculptures were 30 to 40 feet I was astonished. We were then able to look at the person who sculpt it, in the middle of working on it and then we can see the comparison because standing 7 stories below it, it doesn’t look so big.
Lastly, When we walked out of Grand Central Terminal and then to the left of us was Grand Central terminal I was like “What the heck” I was so confused, because we were in GCT but when we walked out of it we walked out of another building.
