Postcard from New York.

1. Hostel is passable, roommates reasonably pleasant.

2. City unnaturally large. This is not a selling point.

3. Museums unnaturally large. This is a selling point.

4. Metropolitan Museum felt like coming home. Hello, ancient artifacts! Alas that you are displayed as art and not history!

5. Feet hurt.

6. Barnes and Noble very tempting.

7. NY Public Library very impressive.

In my humble opinion, there is nothing else quite like NYC, and that's quite all right. Having only of of this kind of thing is plenty.

Er, that's only ONE of this kind of thing. See? NYC is influential far beyond its borders.

Ayuh, grew up as a neighbor to NYC and I am glad that it is the Highlander of cities.....

There can be only one.

Even Seoul, which is now technically more crowded, is not quite so big in a way.

I will be very glad to go home to small, walkable places. With saner drivers.

Right. This city of yours?

Unnatural large.
