When I visit a city, I like to read the signs on the street, as they say a lot from the city. NYC was not an exception, and I found a couple I find quite interesting (some others I did not dare to take the picture… shame on me).
"Which one is Real. Not the one you think. In NYC, it's illegal to paint a real gun to look like a toy, and to sell a toy gun that looks real." Something is wrong if you need this ad in the subway!
I know there are many people who think this... but I didn't expect this in Harlem, one of the boroughs in NYC predominantly black.
Seen at Soho. Is there a better place to do anti-smoking campaign, than next to an ashtray?
What did we say about Obama earlier? It seems Pepsi does not agree with them.
Parking in NYC requires a lot of reading

As you probably know, the United Nations Organization’s Headquarters are located in New York. It’s not the coolest place to visit, as it is not the tallest nor the most beautiful building in Manhattan, but still an important place to see for what represents (another topic would be how effective it really is, but this it out of the scope of this post).
These headquarters are located in Manhattan, next to the east coast of the island, and it is international territory. There is no proper border (and you don’t get any stamp on your passport when you get in), but only international law rules here. They also have their own security, firemen, post office, etc.
If you happen to go to New York: don’t take the guided tour here: just stay outside, or in the main hall. We did so, and are quite disappointed. The only interesting part in my opinion was the General Assembly, but it lacks of some essentials: I would have enjoyed some history about the UN and some important decisions taken there, and also some other important sights, like the Security Council (this is a hot place nowadays).

Las ensaimadas llevando el nombre de Mallorca por todo el mundo… Shocking.
