"I Hate New York"
I was thinking about this as I walked back to my dorm after Japanese class. I hate New York City. I said these words in response to our thought exercise because, "my idea of showing someone around the city is to leave the city." We can be a little more precise, and a little less absolute, about this. I don't hate New York City in its entirety, I hate everything it's known for. I've never been a fan of touristy things, especially not of being a tourist.
In fact, the only things I like about New York are the things it has in common with other cities: board game shops, import shops, specialty stores, cat cafes, pubs, and a diverse selection of local restaurants. I've shown many people around the city at this point, and I've been to Central Park too many times to count. After all that, all I want to do is get a T-Swirl crepe and go to bed. Being excited about New York has gotten exhausting.
I haven't ever been to New York before. Many people said that New York is a good and big city. What is the most famous place New York city?
ReplyDeleteMany people like New York, but I do not like New York very much. This city is very big. The most famous place in New York City is the Statue of Liberty. If you ever visit the USA, you should stay West. The cities in the West are much nicer than New York.
Deleteoh. I will stay there if I decide to go. what is the best place in the west of USA??
ReplyDeleteI really like Oregon and Washington. Portland in Oregon is my favorite city. It isn't very big, and the people there are kind. Oregon is very pretty, but it isn't very lively.
DeleteI actually hate New York too! I think that has something to do with growing up here and then living in different cities and countries for the past few years. I think New York is a nice place to visit but after a while, it gets old. The cost of living here is also higher than anywhere else I've lived. However, I'm glad to hear that you have found a handful of things that make your living experience here, tolerable, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI think I would enjoy New York more if I was more willing to let myself. I'm very grumpy all the time. It's my least favorite place I've lived, but I've only lived in the city for a few months now. Maybe it will get better.
DeleteWhy do you feel New York's similarity to other cities and its adaptability a negative quality?
