Two well-known cities in USA




Hi everyone! So nice to talk to you guys again. I thought you should learn a little bit about two places I have visited, New York and San Francisco. Those two cities are two amazing places, and I had a really great time there.                                                                                    
New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York metropolitan area, the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States and one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York is referred as New York City and was settled in 1924. 

Winters are cold and damp, and prevailing wind patterns that blow offshore minimize the moderating effects of the Atlantic Ocean, yet the Atlantic and the partial shielding from colder air by the Appalachians keep the city warmer in the winter than inland North American cities at similar or lesser latitudes such as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis. The daily mean temperature in January, the area's coldest month, is 0.3 °C, however, temperatures usually drop to −12 °C several times per winter, and reach 10 °C several days each winter month. Spring and autumn are unpredictable and can range from chilly to warm, although they are usually mild with low humidity. Summers are typically warm to hot and humid, with July daily mean temperature of 24.7 °C.
I thought it was really hard to find population in New York but I found something on a website that may be correct. “According to Census Bureau population estimates, New York City’s population increased from 8,175,1331 in April of 2010 to 8,405,837 in July of 2013”.                                                                         
When I was in New York I experienced a lot of tourist attractions. Some of them are Times Square, The statue of liberty, Central park and Brooklyn Bridge. I just have to say that, to see all of that, oh my gosh, it was amazing!
San Francisco, is the cultural center and a leading financial hub of the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California.
San Francisco is The only consolidated city-county in California and it encompasses a land area of about 46.9 square miles on the northern end of the San Francisco Peninsula.


San Francisco is a popular tourist destination, known for its cool summers, fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, the former prison on Alcatraz Island, and its Chinatown district. San Francisco is also the headquarters of five major banking institutions and various other companies such as the Gap Inc., Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Yelp, Pinterest, Twitter, Uber, Mozilla and Craigslist.
San Francisco's driest month is June and it gets the least sun, with lots of fog that keep things chilly. San Francisco is at its best in spring and fall, when skies are clearer and rain less likely. The weather in San Francisco is almost always cool in the evening, especially near the ocean.

When I was in San Francisco I only visited San Francisco Zoo. It was so fun to see all the animals and the big Zoo.

  1. Igjen, veldig bra skrevet, Hannah! Jeg ser virkelig at engelsk er noe du synes er gøy. Du har god grammatikk og flyt, og nå hadde du også med den innledningen jeg savnet fra forrige innlegg. Bra! Fortsett slik, lykke til videre :)
