Two summers ago, we ___ on a trip to New York.
We ___ from Manchester to John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The journey was long, but we were very excited; we are from a little village and we really ___ to visit a megacity like New York.
When we ___ at our destination, we ___ a taxi to our hotel in Manhattan.
The taxi driver was very nice and ___ us lots of things about New York and Manhattan.
"How much is it?" I asked the taxi driver when he ___ his car in front of the hotel.
When he ___ that it was 95 dollars, I ___ that it wasn't possible, but it was!
For the first – and I hope the last – time in my life, I ___ 95 dollars for a taxi.
I guess that's one of the problems of big cities, they are really expensive.
