Maybe it's nice, maybe it's not


New York City is a nice place to live at, if you’re living in the right area. I actually like living in New York City, but I rather live in California because I enjoy warm weather. I hate the cold, the snow and wearing puffy coats. I enjoy the warm nights at 42nd street with a cup of ice cream glued to my hand, the bright lights kissing my face. Two dollars and fifty cents is all that costs to take me to Times Squares, to SoHo or somewhere miles away from my shoebox size apartment. New York City is a place filled with surprises
            I remember one summer evening, I took a walk with a friend in Central Park and we ended up sitting by the lake, looking at the ducks interact. Later on, a man holding a fishing rod sat next to us and asked us if we knew how to fish. My friend didn’t know how to fish and I never touched a fishing rod; the old man decided to teach us how to fish, and instantly I caught a fish. I threw the fish back because I didn’t want to have him for dinner nor did I want to kill the poor fish. I caught a couple of fishes, so did my friend; after we finished fishing, I wondered why do people fish if they’re just going to throw the fish back into the water.
            According to Census Bureau, New York’s population is 19,651,127. A bunch of people live in New York City, it doesn’t mean they love living here. With the good things comes, the bad things about New York City. Sometimes, there is a lot of rude strangers and will unleash their nasty attitude if you accidentally bump into them. Crowded trains and buses are the worst; especially when you’re seated and somebody’s hovering over you, melting your face with their stinky hot breath. New York City has pros and cons, some people love it and others don’t.
