New York Memories...
New York.
It is like Sydney, but bigger.
There are lots of people, lots of traffic, lots of sounds and noises.
But actually New York is a place that is larger than life before you go, and a normal city when you have seen it. The number of times I said to Carl 'I just do not feel like I am in NYC, do you?', 'It just feels TOO normal and natural...'. I think because NYC is SUCH a famous city, you really start to form impressions and expectations at a much higher level than in most other cities... so yes, you are really expecting something larger than life.
What did I love about my NYC experience?
* The hustle and bustle of being in a big city again... It really felt like Sydney, and in many ways like home.
* The New Yorker accent. Granted it was not as strong as what I was expecting, but its great when you hear it in action.
* Broadway & 42nd Street. This is the place of my dreams, and I had to pinch myself every second to make sure that it was real. I would be ALWAYS at Broadway if I lived in NY, especially since it is really not that expensive to attend.
* Central Park. Like Hyde Park in Sydney, so feeling the sense of home again.
* Friendly New Yorkers. Contrary to what I imagined, people were SO friendly and nice to us when we were in town. I sense hardly any of the famous aggressive New York attitude.
* Hanging out with Jen and her New Yorker friends.... SO much fun!
LOVE NEW YORK!!!
