It's interesting the little things you start to notice when you move to a new place! These are a compilation of moments and thoughts Ive noticed myself having since I moved to New York City. :)
- It's windy by the water!!!! Hello wind blown hair on 1,000! You don't realize how much water you're surrounded by here too! Sometimes you feel like you live on a lake!
- You are more intimate with people on the subway than you are with your cousins at your family reunion! You see people's cuticles. You bounce off their arms and belly, almost daily.
- I swear the drivers of the subway cars go fast on purpose to purposely make you bounce around off everyone. Then you get on the subway someday and it's slow and smooth. It's quite funny actually if you think about it! Your best bet is to always hold on!
- Men wear just as tight of pants as women do. That is just the style today. And I must say I am not complaining.
- You could do any social experiment in any subway car at any time. There is a good chance there is a large percentage of the human race if you took a glimpse of the 20 people standing around you on the subway at any given time. Who has a people hypothesis!?
- Living here really helps you realize how many damn people there are in the world. There are so many people, everywhere, all the time.
- Everything is not expensive here! I'm eating cheaper lunches here than I did back home!! Yes, you could go have fine dining every meal of the day if you wanted to. But there are plenty of normal bars, restaurants and coffee shops around with very reasonable prices. But yes, I know rent and home prices are astronomically higher than most places LOL
