Vortex’s Travel in New York

Hello, I’m vortex. I traveled far away across the sea and this was my very first visit to the other side of the Atlantic! Here I had my debut at the 113th Annual North American International Toy Fair (One of the world’s top three toy fairs and the western hemisphere’s largest toy trade show), and met with my sisters and brothers around the globe!
 
Fancy the freaking awesome technology? Wanna see the intermingling culture and unforgettable historical events? What about the colorful nightlife? Then follow me and I will roam you around this magic city!

Part One: Live Toy Fair 
 Organized by the Toy Industry Association™, Inc. (TIA), the 113th Annual North American International Toy Fair in 2016 was held from Februrary 13-16 at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in the New York City, Manhattan. It brought together more than 1,200 total exhibitors from around the world, and nearly 40, 000 professional audiences under one roof to the exhibition.

I want the coolest display!”

Part three: the most iconic architecture

 The newly-built World Trade Center   Before the ruins of the 911 incident, I saw a man mourning his beloved ones   The Sphinx before the Egyptian temple at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
  I’m standing alone on the top of the Empire Building. Under my feet I see the most splendid scenery in my life. For a moment I thought “I am the king of the world.”
 A glimpse of the Wall Street    “Context comes first”and the New York Stock Exchange  By touching the bull’s love handle there, are we going to make a lot of money this year? 

Federal Hall, the sculpture is George Washington, he once had his swearing-in ceremony here

New York is a tolerant and innovative city: It is a city of multiculturalism, blended with the most advanced technological information. I can not wait to experience this city and as a small member of the open-source hardware family, tolerance and innovation is the concept I have been imparted with ever since I was born. Hence, I, little vortex, would like to combine advantages of multiple sources, set my wits to work and become as more fun as to play with in the future!
