Hi everyone, I'm Michelle from New York City. I don't get to travel as often as I'd like, but I've lived in Japan and have been to many U.S. states. Hope to learn of everyone's adventures here!

Welcome Michelle! How long have you lived in Japan? I always wanted to visit the Land of the Rising Sun.

I spent every summer there for six years (divorced parents). It was fascinating

Welcome to the forum, Michelle. I am also new here. You are not too far from me. I live in Philadelphia.

Welcome brotherZ. Which part of the City of Brotherly Love are you from? I lived in south philly for about 10 years when I was young then moved back to west philly for college.

welcome brotherZ, I've been to Philadelphia a couple of times but not for very long.

Well NY sounds like it would be tons of fun to live in. I visited NY this summer, I had a blast...

NYC is the city that never sleeps. There are lots to do in the city but sadly I didn't do any of the tourist stuff when I lived there.

I got to do quite a bit of touristy stuff in NY this past summer... lots of fun!

There are a ton of things to do in NYC and if you are into museum and stuff you can even check those out for free on certain day of the week.

Which museums would you recommend that aren't that expensive?

We usually only do the touristy stuff when we have relatives staying with us

True, if you live somewhere, you don't really do touristy stuff unless you have too...

Here is a list of free or low price museums depending on the day of the week.

Awesome, I'm debating whether I should visit NY again this summer...
