Cut to the chase. I had one hellluuvva time!
Thanks to New York! I started with all apprehension. I would arrive at JFK airport at 8:30 am and my interview was scheduled at 11:30 at Manhattan! Add to the trouble I had my big suitcase to lug around(I would need half my clothes for a 12 day outing, or so i thought!). I got into the air bus at JFK and thought it better to ask someone how to get to Manhattan. So i did. It was this lady from California, not only did she help me get onto the right subway but she made me instantly feel at home with all her trivia talk about New York. Welcome aboard! All my memories of New York will start with her.Warm and exciting - New York to me had just begun.
Contrary to what my friends had told me, people here were quite friendly. But then, experiences vary. New,fresh,bright,full of life - the NY that I saw. Every walk on the streets of Manhattan would leave me amazed. Could life be so fiercely fast?! I loved every bit of it. Far from the laid back attitude of Pittsburgh, NY imbibes enthusiasm. Not for a moment can you stand to look around on the streets! Its on the move.
Menacingly cold it was
Yet I wanted to be out
On the streets
Besides the river
Such was NY
Fiercely competitive it is
Entrenched is the zest
Indomitable is its spirit
Yep, it all suits me fine!
