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.

They're both large, fast-paced and very diverse cities.

I kinda like London, but I wouldn't want to live there. Which is very similar to NY.

London, New York, and Tokyo are in one category on my visit as often as possible lists. They're places where I like to go see new things, try new food, and see old friends. And they're enormously big cosmopolitan busy places with mass tran that *works*. I love that.

Also on my visit as often as possible lists, but with entirely different reasons are Dublin, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Where I go back to much loved places, eat much loved food, walk everywhere, and make new friends.
