local virtual phone number
by nestormanya
Ladies and Gents!
I have been searching for info about a company called www.jetnumbers.com Does anyone have any info that they can throw at me?
It seems that the service is: "Get a local phone number in one of the listed below countries and redirect it to any phone number in the world. The calls will be charged at local rate for the callers regardless of whether they are calling from landline or mobile phones."
The reason that I mention them is because they are the only ones that have a free trial.
Can someone please hit me up with any kind of info?!?!
Thanks a ton

Great for walks

To see New York City...
was always a dream for me. Feel the power of a city that really never sleeps. Offcourse we wanted to see the big landmarks like the Empire State building , Twin towers and the chrysler building.
The first year we went to the US we only drove through it with Niki's Niece and stopped for a visit to the Empire Stat building.
When we went there all by ourself the next year the town gave me some fear, this faded away quickly but the feeling of being small stayed. Walking through this city in our own pace, take the Subway and walk through Battery Park.
Maybe it was different at that time, but the Twin towers have gotten a special place in our hearts.

get high in Manhattan!
and get onto that Empire State Building!
(I have been on the Twin Towers as well... but that is left to history and memory after 11th of September.
So that was one advice I had to delete sadly enough)
I hope NYC will recover from this disaster.
More pictures are in my travelogues You have a marvelous panoramic view over the city.
It is fun trying to spot the location of the hotel, or the places you have been too.

I think one of the best thing one can do while in NY is to do all those 'touristic must' I usually avoid. I mean climb up the empire, the statue of liberty.... and don't forget ellis island. when I visited it the museum was newly open. really interesting! Last time I was in NY was not a good period... Manhattan was full of homeless, most of them not by choice or thru any fault of their own... most had been fired because of the crisis. .... In that world of disperation I saw some genius.... I didn't take any pics out of respect, but I still remember the king of genius: It was very cold and he was on a corner of the fifth ave, near central park, covered with newspaper and every kind of stuff you can imagine... You could only see his eyes. his eyes and a sign:
Museum of the fifth avenue

Finding one's way around New York is really very easy. The city is laid out in a grid-plan, so it is difficult to 'get lost'
Distance-, = about 20 avenues (north-south) or 10 street blocks (east-west) are equal to 1 mile. This rule does not apply, however, to parts of Greenwich and all of lower Manhattan. The layout of streets in these areas is different, and could become confusing. It is however not the worst thing to get 'lost' in New York.. We did, a few times on our first visit, but did not mind at all. We walked for miles every day. There is so much to see,and so much happening.The vibrancy of the city is palpable.
Upper Manhatten is where the Dakota is situated-being the wonderful old Gothic building where John Lennon lived when he was murdered. We went there, to the spot ( another 'pilgramage') and I felt very emotional. At Strawberry fields, in Central Park, we gazed down at the Memorial Plaque that has been laid in memory of John Lennon. We sat on a bench, and watched the joggers. There were very many,and each and every one of them avoided stepping on this memorial plaque. The plaque had flowers laid upon it, and we placed a flower too. It says simply: 'IMAGINE'
