Hello! I am a Japanese.
I traveled in New York City of the United States of America from Japan in November, 2003.
I live in Japanese Osaka. Because I arrived and departed only from Narita Airport of Tokyo, I boarded United Airlines from Narita Airport, and the direct flight to New York left.JFK International Airport which arrived was impressed very greatly. It was an atmosphere different from Japanese Narita Airport.
At first I went to Manhattan Island by taxi since I arrived at an airport. It is that famous Yellow Cab.
I was tired from a long journey (The flight of 12 hours) very much, but I was very fresh, and the row of houses along a city street of New York City which I tried to found moved.Because I did not have US dollar, I had a hard time to pay the first taxi charges. In an airport, you should have changed it into it earlier.
Because I did not check in at the hotel which made reservations either, an exchange in a hotel was not possible. It was saved in the caching which used a credit card with a changemaker in a supermarket nearby.
It was Pennsylvania New York Hotel that intended to stay in this trip. However, there are circumstances of a travel agency, too and will stay at another hotel.Making reservations did lodging with oneself after all.On that occasion the reservation site that I used is here.
I was able to make reservations in Japanese. There seems to be English explanation, too.
