I love New York

[redbird]

I keep running into online articles, LJ comments, and so on that say that the difference between Europe and North America is that in Europe, you go 200 kilometers and run into 14 different languages, and anywhere you go you may see people who just got off the plane from Tunisia that morning.

I can run into 14 different languages in 20 kilometers, probably in two, never mind 200, and run into people who are just arrived from anywhere on the planet any random morning.

I thought the real difference between US and UK is that in the UK 100 miles is a long way, and in the US 100 years is a long time...

Or at least that's what I was told...

Heh, that's what I thought too.

But I love NYC for what redbird describes. *remembers and smiles*

Which would make NY more like London than most of the US...

I wonder if this is why 'middle america' worries about those who live in NYC, and other large, internationalised, cities?

I'm sure there's something to this.
