Life in New York

In this article, American Andy Verderosa willingly talks about all the pros and cons of living in New York. Note to people who dream of living in this great city! First, about the disadvantages





Shaking elevators. It does not matter whether you go down to the New York subway or go up to the apartment of your friend in the building from the 30s - lifts in New York shaking, as in your nightmares. Whenever you enter them, you're playing Russian roulette (Russian, by the way, also sometimes included). So carefully study the other passengers. How many of them can be the weakest link? Can anyone of them to be useful? It is likely that for the next 48 hours, these people will become your family.



Dear salads. In this city, we will do our best to stay in shape. We have put up with the high price of a gym membership, but the idea to throw out $ 10 for a handful of lettuce and a couple of cherry tomatoes, is beyond our comprehension. So it usually ends up that same amount of money we pay for something bigger and posytnee. All went to hell - I chose a slice of pizza.



Train delays. No matter how well you plan your time or how much prepared for the worst - sometimes failures in the movement of trains can completely take you out of yourself. Technical work on the weekend - it is quite irritating, but these days you have, at least, can not in a hurry. But on other days, when the failures and then fall on the peak time or when you schedule a meeting, New Yorkers have to pretty tight.



Unequal income. This infogramme as skyscrapers demonstrated the difference in salaries in the territory of Manhattan.



Queues. Remember, everything in this town have the same plans as you. Are you trying to have lunch somewhere nearby, or go to a free concert - all New Yorkers are going to do the same thing at the same moment. They say that New Yorkers hate to stand in queues, but in reality this is far from the truth. In fact, New Yorkers have long been accustomed to queues and turned them into a tradition.



Rats.



Parking. If you are lucky (or, on the contrary, are out of luck) have a car, then most likely, you spend a quarter of life in thinking on the subject of where you park it. If your yard you will find a good parking spot, it can be a cause the whole next week to stay at home.



Traffic jams. Congestion on the roads in rush hour - it is certainly bad, but at least understandable. But where could take a cork in the morning - is another question. Even if you have and not have its own car, you still know the feeling of irritation that you experience while sitting, for example in the taxi and watched the pedestrians slowly cross the road while you wait out the next red light.



Prices Cinema 14 dollars 75 cents per person - no small sum. For the money, you can acquire a half months to display on Netflix (Netflix - a web portal for eight dollars a month with a legal view an unlimited number of movies - approx. Interpreter). And wherever these bloggers, commentators take the money all the time to watch the news of cinema?



In the noise in New York, you can not realize how noisy the city, but it is worth it to you to leave - and you finally rasslyshit my heart beat or even increase their nails. In this case, you risk a panic attack because of the uncanny silence.



Social rivalry One of the problems of New York life - that's what everyone there to say something better than you. What a great party on the roof you have visited or someone you know has certainly been on the other, with a much better view. I once had a chance to see Stephen Baldwin at the airport, but it cost me to share it with friends, I was overpowered story about the dinner in the company of other Baldwin - Alec!



FOMO (fear of missing out) - the fear that a miss. In this city there is so much that every time you check something on your phone, sleeping or relaxing in their tiny apartment, you are bound to miss something magnificent, amazing, or at least worthy of Instragramma. It is likely that you are missing something right now.



Smell. It is a common complaint, but not do without it. Sometimes, for unknown reasons, your nose will get the stench so pungent and so unbearable that you find it difficult to believe that its source originated on this planet.



Everyone here has a dog. Shit strewn everywhere. The worst thing about this is that the two do not always offer the top there is a connection.



And few things for which all this can wait. Free. Despite the fact that New York is very expensive, there are plenty of free entertainment - from concerts and film screenings to museums and parks. They say that the best things in our life should be free, and while prices in Krispy Kreme grow and grow around is a lot of things for which you do not have to climb into his wallet.



It is home to all. Well, okay, a little more human lives in Los Angeles where a handful of people - in China, but most of the people who you would like to see personally, it is in New York.



Here you can get an unforgettable experience. Once on the train, I watched as 60tiletny old man in a leather jacket, leather pants and a leather dog collar Italian family explained how to get to Houston Street, one using only sign language.



New York - it's a giant melting pot. In normal train from here you can get an authentic experience culture from all over the world. New York - it is perhaps the most bitty place on the planet, and every day you meet people here come from these cities and countries, about what you have not even heard.



Where the hell is indescribably beautiful. From this fact can not escape. Everywhere you look - absolutely gorgeous views around, and amid them, and you feel small and big at the same time.
