I used to be really frustrated when I got "trapped" in the train station in New York. When this happened, I spent time "observing" people and found that the New York City trains formed "an underground NYC".

I met all kinds of people there. Sitting in trains coming from suburban boroughs (区) like Queens and Brooklyn, I saw babysitters and housekeepers, in white or pink uniforms, carrying a shopping bag with lunch and another prettier bag for their makeup. Some gentlemen in suits get squeezed (挤) in between ladies, reading the New York Times, holding Starbucks coffees and a piece of napkin.

The passengers' skin color would get lighter as the train went from suburban areas to uptown NYC. Clothes brands changed from "Nike" and "Babyphat" to "Armani" and "Prada".

Getting lost is not embarrassing at all. Even New Yorkers who have lived in the city for 20 years need to check out the map before going to a new place by train. People from other states are just as confused as foreigners when they are "thrown" underground.

It was funny when people carrying big backpacks and holding maps, asked me where they could transfer while I was trying to find an exit. "I'm sorry. I am trying to find my way out too." I felt really bad about not helping them. To my surprise, the two guys with blue eyes didn't look disappointed at all. They laughed and told me, "Oh, we are wondering if there's really an exit because we have been walking around here for 10 minutes and we still don't know where to transfer to the uptown train!"

NYC trains are just like doors rotating (旋转) on and on. If I hadn't got lost several times, I might not have had the chance to stop and see what was happening outside my block.
