A big city that I would like to visit is the New York City. So, uh, for everyone who’s living outside of the United States, America is a fever dream. Uh, everyone at some point, they wish that they want to go there. So it’s the same for me. Uh, and I am a person, uh, who watches a lot of television series, like a lot of american, uh, tv programs, so few of my favorite series, they took place in, uh, New York, for example, friends and gossip girl. So it’s. It has always been there in my mind that I have to visit that vibrant city at least once in my life. So I am a, ah, really extroverted person. I think New York, a big city like New York, is the best place for an extravert. Um, we can stay up all night and it’s just so much fun and, like, nobody is gonna ask, uh, about anything. And, uh, I’ve always wanted to live in a city like that, a city that stays up all night, the city that never sleeps. So apart from that, I would travel there via flights and, and it is my dream to go there with one of my best friends. Her name is Kalyani. Uh, and we’ve always talked about it because we watched series together. So, uh, we always wanted to visit New York at least once in our lives. So you’probably take flights and there are no direct flights from India to New York, so we’d probably have to go, uh, through transit somewhere. And, uh, uh, there I would like to visit all the sets of the series that I mentioned before, uh, especially Upper east side, uh, because that’s like a pretty famous in gossip girl. And I would really love to visit sit the friends apartment and, uh, I just want to walk around at night and, uh, see the whole city lit up.

A big city that I would love to visit is New York City. For anyone living outside the United States, America often feels like a dream. Many people, at some point, wish they could visit. It's the same for me. I'm a big fan of television series, especially American ones. Some of my favorites, like 'Friends' and 'Gossip Girl,' are set in New York. So, it's always been a dream of mine to visit this vibrant city at least once in my life. I'm a very extroverted person, and I think a big city like New York is the perfect place for someone like me. We can stay up all night, have fun, and no one will question it. I've always wanted to live in a city that never sleeps, a city that's alive all night long. I would travel to New York by plane. It's a dream of mine to go there with my best friend, Kalyani. We've always talked about it, especially since we watched these shows together. We both want to visit New York at least once in our lives. There are no direct flights from India to New York, so we'd probably have to take a connecting flight somewhere. Once I'm there, I'd love to visit all the filming locations from the shows I mentioned, especially the Upper East Side, which is famous from 'Gossip Girl.' I'd also love to see the 'Friends' apartment. I just want to walk around the city at night and see it all lit up.
