My trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where I spent over 10 days, turned out to be unforgettable. Some say that the history of the USA begins right in Philadelphia. The city center is proof of that. Beautiful architecture, the central library, the home of the well-known Benjamin Franklin, a business district with skyscrapers—you'll find all this in the huge yet cozy Philly. And of course, I couldn't go without hockey. Seeing an NHL game with my own eyes was a long-held dream of mine! An amazing match where the Philadelphia Flyers won in overtime against the New York Rangers with a score of 5-4! It was there that I learned that any sporting event for Americans is a kind of small celebration. It's funny that at the game they were drinking beer and eating their favorite burgers. You wouldn't see that back home. Just as you wouldn't see people lying calmly right on the asphalt, lawn, or bench, with Americans just walking by as if nothing were happening. It feels like this is the norm in America. Honestly, it's a wild and slightly shocking sight.
