Queens

       Have you ever been to Queen’s museums and organizations? Well I have and I’m here to tell you all about them. The three places we went to while we were in Corona and Jackson heights were D.R.U.M., NY Hall of Science and the Queens Museum of Arts. We also went food tasting in an Indian restaurant.
                  D.R.U.M. is a youth organization. The letters spell out DESIS RISING UP & MOVING. They help immigrants get their education and job rights. They also help them get global justice. They help with deportation also. In their education program, they offer English and computer classes.  Every Saturday they have a free legal clinic. I do recommend other people to go visit because they are a well organized place. For transportation we took the F and 7 trains.
               The NY HALL of SCIENCE was a new and fun experience for me. I loved the bubbles that they had there. They had a shadow wall and if you stood in front of it, and waited for the blue and yellow light to flash, it would catch your shadow. After that, it would show your shadow like a picture.  Other fun things we did, were riding this airplane simulator. The plane wings would spin and you would start to feel like you’re riding a plane. For transportation, we took the 7 and F trains. We walked through Flushing Meadows Park to get to the building.
At The Queens Museum of Art, we learned all about different types of art. We saw a big model of New York City that took up a whole floor. It was like a flat universe. The experience at The Queens Museum of Art was nice and quiet. The journey to The Queens Museum of Art was long.  We had to walk far to find it. However, we enjoyed ourselves in the long run.
On our way back from The Queens Museum of Art, we went to do some food tasting. We went in to an Indian Restaurant and we ate some really good food. We ate something called samosas, tandoori chicken and naan bread. The food tasted great. I enjoyed my trip to Queens. FYI, the train ride from Brooklyn to Queens was about an hour and a half. Make sure to bring a friend or music to listen to on the train!
