I call you out on this one sir.

In this country, it is only illegal if you are drunk & disorderly

We haven't quite been forced not to drink by Blair yet...

Post by: Ford Prefect on February 02, 2005, 03:30:10 pm: Nobody has lived until they've had the full NYC immersion experience. Eat the pretzels, ride in the cabs, see a Broadway show, walk through Times Square at night, etc.

I can eat pretzels at home, ride cabs right here and I don't care much for Broadway shows nor for Times Square.

Times Square at night is dull, btw. But that's just my opinion.

I'm sorry, but I wasn't really impressed by NY. At all. Nobody has time, everyone seems to rush through the day, besides tall buildings there isn't much to do besides being stuck in ****ing traffic in between those buildings. Ow, and don't even get me started on the subway. *shrugs*

I guess I'm spoiled cuz I'm used to Holland... :p

Post by: vyper on February 02, 2005, 04:00:23 pm: Pretzels rule, even if they are full of salt.

Also, going to NYC for me would be like someone taking Glasgow and using the scale function in trueSpace on everything. Same concept, only bigger.

Would still like to go tho.

Although NY is scarier, I've been told.
