Vortex’s Travel in New York

DFRobot Feb 29 2016 305

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 113^th 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!”

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!
