Settling In

This is my first time writing in New York only because I don't have a computer and so I am here in the the public library plinking out my first couple weeks. First I need to go over things I love and hate about the big Apple. (DISCLAIMER: I wrote this at the beginning of July but forgot to post it so this is a little bit outdated)





Love


1. There is always something new to do. Things are constantly going on. There is no way for you to be bored here.


2. The views are fantastic. I recently went up to the rooftop of Johnson & Johnson to watch the fireworks on the Hudson and I almost died and went to heaven.


3. They have parks everywhere! Central park is amazing and endless but they also have a park along the Hudson that is great and has a beautiful view of the river. Riverside Park is probably my favorite because the views of Jersey and the Hudson are fantastic.


4. Most people here are so friendly! Everyone I've met so far has been extremely friendly and very helpful.





Hate


1. It smells like trash a lot of the time in a lot of places.


2. It is very dirty. I need to buy handsanitizer.





All in all I love New York! (now I understand the t-shirt). I miss my family and friends but I like living here.
