From the Big Apple

Am falling asleep at the moment, but wanted to pop in and say I will be back in London in a couple of days.

I am loving every minute in NYC. Have done sooo much, in fact everything I meant to do. It is one spectacular city - the place and the people; one adjective will have to suffice for now. It can be anything to anyone, I think.

Oh, wait till you see the photos! It is a city of great detail and there is beauty even in the corners.

Ciao xxx

What, you mean New Yorkers AREN'T the epitome of rudeness and impatience? ;-)

But seriously, haven't you heard:

- The smallest increment of time known to science is the time between the light turning green and the New Yorker behind you honking his horn.

- Have you ever heard a New York echo?

"HELLO!"
"Shut the **** up!"

(I hope y'all realize I have a smile on...and now I'm waiting for the Oregon jokes, if anyone has ever bothered making any.)

LB - when was the last time you were here?

Minstrel - Nope. One of my European friends agrees that Londoners are more aggressive.

The light turning green phenomenon happens more in London. In NYC, they actually wait for you to cross.

It's a much quieter, more well-behaved city. Amazingly enough. AND this is my opinion while staying with a cousin in The Bronx.

Pete - hello you too! All the fun will be over tomorrow :(

Cafe - bleh! :P

Guess I'd better go there and find out for myself. I suppose I owe it to all the (not very many) New Yorkers I've met, who were all great people.

Minstrel - I've not been to New York yet but I would be very surprised if there is more pent up agrression there than London lol! From talking to people who've been to NY, I think the difference is this:

NY: 'Come on! Get F*** outta my way, i got places to be!'

Londoner: 'Not only am I going to get to where I want to be in as quick a time as possible, I'm going to make life as difficult as possible for everyone around me whilst I do so. Because I am from London, and you are all wankers'

or words to that effect ;)

Liv - get blogging slacker!
