Big Cities

Now that I've had the NYC experience it's nice to reflect on that experience and compare it to others I've had. I've been to a number of big cities in my lifetime. The list includes London, Chicago and LA, but the only city with a similar crush of people that I've visited is Mexico City. Driving in either city is not for the timid and even if you are brave enough to drive, there's no place to park once you've arrived.

The traffic is very similar in both cities except there are no people wandering in the streets of NYC selling soft drinks and snacks to hapless drivers stranded in the crawl. I do believe there are more people in NYC who speak Spanish as a first language, though.
