I noticed that Londoners have a certain way of communicating with each other on the tube - a form of communication that I am not unfamiliar with, as I've used it many times myself with other Londoners around the city. What is this communication tactic, you might ask? The eye contact, eye-roll and shrug all muddled into one look. It's almost a silent language, but quite entertaining to notice once you've picked up on it.
Is it possible to fall in love with a city? I've always loved the city atmosphere - I should, I've lived in one my entire life. Whilst I like small villages, I much prefer to live in the organized chaos of a city's limits.
As I'm writing this, I'm sitting at one of my favourite coffee shops in London. It's on a busy street with people walking by and red buses zipping past me. Whilst one may see chaos, this is the calmest and the happiest I've been in quite some time.
Here's the thing - New York City is MASSIVE. No secret about it. It can be hard to see everything you'd like to in your first visit - especially if you're only in the city for a short time. Not long ago, I spent a long weekend in New York City. Staying in the middle of Times Square provided an amazing atmosphere for my first time in this city (and not to mention, a beautiful view).
