Just got back from 2 weeks in New York City where I started a new job 7 days before Hurricane Sandy struck.
Got to see Times Square where I stayed last week before all hell broke loose. Everyone needs to see that at least once - it's incredible.
Once Sandy hit, it was like a post-apocolyptic scene: subways closed, airport closed, Wall street closed, my flight home cancelled, gas stations out of gas, people running out of food, no credit cards accepted, they closed my work for 2 days and I'm hourly (so no pay). And worst of all, they cancelled Big Bang Theory for press conferences with the Governor. Seriously though people are suffering there, with freezing temperatures on the way. It's a preview of what America will be like when the US Dollar collapes, so be prepared.
After getting home last night I need to get back on a plane tomorrow for 2 more weeks there.
New Yorkers are real people though. Tougher to get to talk to, but once you get through to them they are great. People have to struggle to survive there so they are more alive, though standards of living are much lower (for most). Also, people never get offended there like in Texas (or on the forum). You can be totally off the wall and they'll just laugh, which is great.
