New York
So I got to experience New York for the first time. With great success I might add. Ever felt like you were in a movie? That’s how it felt being in New York. Even though I like to think of myself as an urban city girl, I realise I am not. All these tall buildings, all the people and all the traffic! I gather now that I really do come from a small village. The city becomes immense!
The apple thing I didn’t quite get. What’s with the apple? Is it beacuse it is supposed to be the core of the world?
The melting-pot thing I understood though. And I loved it! It’s like a miniature version of the whole world, people placed in a monter made of tall buildings and sprinkled with capitalisms up- and downsides. I decided New York is a fun and challenging place to be. Allthough I imagine it being more fun for the rich than the poor. And perhaps more challenging for the poor than for the rich? Yes, that sounds like an average cut-out of the world. It had the good and the bad all at one place. The joint communities of different cultures, I am glad to see it is possible. The extreemes of materialism that comes with it, I am not sure I like it that much.
No matter what one thinks of the city though, I understand the obsessions over it. It really must be one of a kind. And I glad I got to experience it!
