The City So Great They Named It Twice

Something about New York City has failed to captivate me. After spending three days in its heart, traipsing around intentionally ignoring all touristy traps, I missed the magical sense of wonder that most inevitably leave with. I have been before, and I have never been really amazed, but this time was definitive. I made a mental note and highlighted the fact in my head: Places I Will Not Live In. It´s too big, too mean, too rushed. Although it´s kinda clichéd, people say that living in New York makes you hard. I can believe that.

But I still bought a T-shirt.
