When the plan first landed in JFK
Airport, I came to Baggage pick up area to pick my luggage. I waited for about
30 minutes to get my baggage, but could not see my baggage. I went to the
baggage claim area to claim for my stuff. The officer told me that they could
not transfer the luggage within the same flight, they said it will be
transferred in the next flight with will take 4 hours.
I decieded to come to Manhattan
and complete the check-in process. I came out of the JFK Airport and saw a cab.
I gave the address of St. John’s Manhattan campus to the driver and he took me
to the campus. I asked him for the fare, he told me to pay him 60$ only that
short way. If we compare the prices with the country, by 60$ a cab will take
you to anywhere for the whole day.
In the afternoon I took another
cab and went to the Airport and took my baggage and came back to the campus. On
that day I spent about 180$ on cab fare. I was so surprised that why the prices
are so high here. Later in the next day St. John's University distributed Metro
cards to the students; by which we can take subways to anywhere in NYC for
free. Then I was regretful and wish that
I could take subway from the airport.
After one week, I m able to take
subways and go where I want only for 25$ a week.
