Okay, so once I got to NYC I did enjoy myself. New York City is a people watchers “candy store”. I could have stood, sat or even walked to watch the people of NYC. There is such diversity there. Watching an Indian woman in her saree passing next to a Hassidic Jew The sites, the sounds, the smells. Midtown seemed so clean to me – someone was always picking up or tending to trash. There was even someone with a rolling garbage bin walking back and forth to collect the lunch crowd’s trash. Police were present everywhere – the mounted officers seemed to be the friendliest. You quickly learned when it was safe to cross and when you would upset the cabbies. The food choices where overwhelming – and you can eat cheap – lunches were about $5 and my most expensive meal was $11. Good thing I don’t smoke – $6.25 – $7.00 a pack. Shouldn’t that be reason enough to quit? The lights of Broadway where amazing but the vertical real estate is overwhelming. Billboards cover apartment windows. Could I afford to live there – probably not, I’d need a patch of green somewhere.
I did learn some new Flash stuff. Now to earn the money to buy new tools.
