just as good, except it's 5 times my size!The Big Apple is everything I ever dreamt of, and it took me a week after leaving the city to realize I can actually live there. Well only if I had to live in Upper East Side or Greenwich Village, I'm pretty snobby like that.
Being in New York is like being in a film, where I play the role of the spoilt brat- brilliant !I met my cousin there, he lives in Seattle, and he's like NYC is so crowded blah blah...I was like what you on guy, I LOVE CROWDS! Fine, I'm anti-social sometimes, but I live in London (d-uh) so I do like the concrete jungle and all the people !
That is what so awesome about it, because there are so many people there are a gazillion things to do. I tried to do all the touristy things I had on my list- Liberty - check, Empire State Building- check, Broadway- check, NBA game- check, Museum of Modern Art- double check! The only thing I missed out on was walking down Brooklyn Bridge. Since I'm the queen on cheese, I really wanted to do it. Meh, next time ;)
New Yorkers are so friendly too. If you are in London, you could stare at someone for hours and they won't even crack a smile. Whereas, in New York everywhere I looked they were smiling...the first time it happened I was very confused (whatchya'll smiling about) but then we bumped into this New Yorker (old dude with a dog) who just started talking to us and was so sweet! You'd never have a random person strike up a conversation in London, well unless the two of you are extremely intoxicated!
Here are some snapshots :D
