mild-blownI was looking at these aerial pictures of New York City.
Now.. I'm a small-town girl. I was born in a country with only 1 million people and my town had.. maybe 3000 inhabitants, the tallest building being the brewery with 7 floors xD and looking at those photos... it just blows my mind.. I don't even have anything else to say.
I think I'm too scared to even think of visiting now xD not that I can afford it or anything xP
I'm visiting In February next year for my sisters hen weekend. I really want to visit Ground Zero, pay my respects.
Makes you realize how tiny us humans are xD
I love the city. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is more like a giant suburb, but I love going down to New Orleans and visiting relatives in Bangkok, Thailand.
If you ever muster up the money to go, do it! It's so amazing there, I love the Big Apple. :)
New york city has around the same amount of inhabitants as Sweden as a country have :O We have a litle more then 9 million :)
I live in a small place with perhaps 1000 inhabitants but just like 5 min away from a 10000 town :)
I'm a bit scared with all those huge buildings :(
... Everything is so huge, here! The town center is not NEARLY as big as with New York, but the suburbs seem to stretch 'till the horizon, no matter where you look at it from. It's pretty insane.
But seriously, don't be scared of visiting huge cities! Melbourneans don't really know how to appreciate their city, since most of them haven't lived in smaller places, but we, from smaller and more modest backgrounds, totally can. :'3 ... But maybe you should start with something smaller, like Melbourne, *winks*
[/blatant advertising]
I'd love to visit a ton of places though.. despite the snakes and such xD
If/when you go, check out Ellis Island and Rockefeller Square, and, if you can, the Empire State Building. Seriously, best views EVA.
Also, check out the Met. There's nothing else like it.
Maybe I'll see ya! XD
The city I [was born and] live in is like that, too. Seventh largest metropolitan area in the world or something.
I must say I LOVE living in a huge city. I love buildings, skyscrapers more than grass, trees and mountains, even though I was born in São Paulo but raised in Rio de Janeiro. It is ALWAYS breathtaking. It is ALWAYS amazing. If you ever have a chance to visit New York, GO FOR IT. <3
How's your job hunt? It was you right? *picks brain*
As for interviews, I have problems with it, too. I'm too shy for my own good and I always think I'm going to screw up. I know how you feel *hugs*
Oh... I'm *still* looking for a job. T_T Can't find anything. The fact that I left university without a diploma makes everything worse, but I hated my uni and half of what I studied, so I had to leave >.< I'm going to study so that I can pass the exams for public jobs, though. That way I'll never be fired and I'll have a nice paycheck, LOL. But I'll have to study as if my life depended on it - and it kinda does, I suppose...
But that doesn't make me afraid of New York! I actually would like to go to college there...
Check it out!

I went in Winter (for free!) and skated basically everyday at Rockfeller. I love skating too. The Dome near me doesn't compare.
My parents go all the time :P I have a wall in my room as a shrine to New York. All our family loves it. We even have fancy photos of ghostly Twin Towers in our toilet :)
