Something I could change: not to have an Apple. I don't like the modern high tech design with the old architecture that conveys history and lost art.

Grand Central is a hectic place filled with tourists and people rushing to make their trains. While taking in my surroundings and appreciating the design of the building, people tended to bump into me as they rushed to their trains. One man ran right by me and up the stairs screaming "FUCKING FUCK!" He must have been late for a train. It reminded of the past weekend and how I woke up at 1230pm and had to make a 2pm flight back to Boston. Like the rushing man, I running around in distress and swearing like there was no tomorrow. Luckily for me, I somehow made my flight. 
Many of the people at Grand Central walk in, glance up at the schedule, and walk towards their specified track number. However, the tourists stick out as they stop in the middle of their path and snap a picture. 
The funniest part of my excursion was when I found the whisper chamber. I simply said 'Hello!" and the response I received was from a man claiming- "Satan loves you!"
