In 1989 I made my debut on this planet in the greatest city in the world, the melting of the planet, New York City.
When I was 18 months old my family and I moved to Pennsylvania. If I was old enough to have a voice I would have protested ... instead away we went. Pennsylvania is nothing like New York City. First of all there's nothing within a walking distance of your house, you have to drive anywhere you want to go, including your nearest neighbor ... which would be miles down the street. It always felt like you were isolated in your plot of land, with no one but the people who lived in your home to speak to. And yourself, of course! So, when I found out I was moving to New York City this past spring, I was more than ecstatic.
I was counting down the days until I would be out of the boondocks, until I was back in civilization! I would be in New York City, again. Back in "The Big Apple" again after far too long of an intermission.
In New York City you have a bevy of cultures and a multitude of diversity. New York City is a place of a range of languages, cultures, and even creeds. I'm so excited about living in New York City because there's so much to do, so much to learn, I dont know where to start!!! I've already met so many different people at my college, I'm excited to learn their different religious backrounds, learning their languages, and understanding their heritage. I feel like I'm a tourist in a new country and I'm read to conquer this new metropolis.
New York City is so amazing, I'm so happy I'm back in the city. I plan on staying forever.
Glad to have you back in NYC. To me ,it truly is the best city in the world, eventhough I've lived here my whole life, so you could call me bias. The diversity is so amazing! I've been on buses where I literally passed through a Pakistani , a Chinese, and a Spanish neighborhood all within 20 mins of the ride. For brief minutes, I got to see three different cultures/worlds right before my eyes.
ReplyDeleteAnd the best part about the diversity is probably the food. For every different culture, you can find a restaurant in NYC that caters to their specific cuisine. And you don't have to speak their language to go there; you can enjoy their culture and be yourself.
NYC is like a microcosm of the world....practically everyone is here.
