A lot of Americans hate New York City so I get the sentiment

But New York City is so different from most everywhere else in America. It's like a sardine can, crowded, smelly, and unpleasant

That´s what I heard all the time too. "Ney York is nothing like the rest of the US", and why would it be, look at a person from Cologne and one from Frankfurt, even they differ in specific ways and those cities are just 200km apart... Now, if I imagine how different east, west and central parts of the US must be, all the nuances that are unique...living in a big country does have advantages

But I guess it would be a little too big for my tastes...I mean I haven´t even seen all of MY country, I basically only know the western part which is...crowded you could say.

New York is fantastic if you know people who live there (unless those people are preppies, have kids who are preppies, have friends who have kids that are preppies, or think that they're involved with the GLAMOROUS WORLD OF FASHION in any way)

also avoid artists, liberals, conservatives, rich people, poor people, and staunch vegetarians

So...that means, basically you hang out with democratic, unartistic, normal-earning meat eaters? Sounds good to me

And hooray for me, I even know what preppies are

Okay, anyone who´s watched a movie about highschool and college knows I suppose...
