48 hours in the city

It started out... rainy. 

It was slightly exhilarating as my laptop had to go through extra security

Then, it was fun meeting new people in the sky

Upon landing, the fun turned to confusion trying to escape into a taxi

That confusion transformed to interest as I encountered a driver from Pakistan
that loved the city but hated politicians

The hotel was... magnificent.

It was also full of surprises like having free lime green apples

of which I consumed four

It was frustrating not having free internet as a college student

That frustration became delight as a maid randomly gave me milk and dark chocolate

Later though, my delight turned to annoyance as all expensive alcohol allowed no room 

for my leftovers in the fridge

Then, to my surprise through the hotel phone, I found out that I would have a room mate who would arrive around 11:30pm

The city was... umm

It was extremely busy as I had no where to go

Then, it was sweet as I was served lunch by a kind waiter

That kindness was soon shaken as I encountered absurd rudeness in the subways

I was then let down by a cupcake that I thought would be so delicious

The city wouldn't just stop and enjoy a moment; no seats to enjoy a simple treat

People just didn't smile like they do in the South

The Barnes and Noble was... glorious.

It had over five floors filled with books of every topic

That aspect caused me to become seriously lost, in time

It was overcome with people all looking for a place to unwind from the chaos of New York

So many people that there was not a chair to be found or a vacant floor space

pictures may come soon... or maybe a video
