I love New York

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 think I could run into 14 different languages within 20 kilometers even here in Seattle. I know grade schools that have that many different languages spoken.
