I arrived in theUnited Stateson February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friendwas waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airportat three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it wassnowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I tooka taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared inastonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friendhelped me unpack at the hotel and them left me because he had to go back towork. He promised to return the next day.

Shortly after my friend hadleft, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because Icouldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. Iwas very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’tunderstand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table waseating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, andhuge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around thecity. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, butI wanted to try.

When I returned to thehotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fireand police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a verybig and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full ofnoise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speakEnglish.
