First day in New York - 28 June



When I arrived in JFK Airport, because of my gps didn't work I couldn't find any masjid. So I decided to find my hotel and then pray. By the way a taxi driver came and offered me a lift but it was very expensive ; 65 $ .

I asked staff if there was any majcid. She pointed at AirTrain. So I passed to AirTrain station.

I checked the map and got on the train to Jamaica. There was a good guy (he was like a lawyer). He helped me to get on the right train and paid for me.

After I got off, I asked an old man to help me to take a taxi. He willlingly helped me. The traffic was terrible so he dropped me off near Bowery Street. I continued walking down the street and found it-checked in.

My room wasn't very big but convenient. I left my suitcase here and changed my clothes. I prayed and searched for mosques and masjids near here on google map. Fortunately, I found a masjid at New York University. I took a screenshot and left quickly.

At first, I couldn't find the masjid but I asked. There's a good masjid on the second floor. I prayed and took some photos. Becasue the scene was wonderfull. 

I walked on the streets, went to a supermarket, took some photocopies. After all I visited Washington Square Park and turned back hotel.
