I’ll Miss You NYC!
It has just hit me that in about 25 hours, I will be boarding a plane on my way to Beijing. I am going to do some Model UN in China for two weeks and coming back only for a day before I fly back to Mexico. From now on, my posts will be about things I am missing about the city, kind of a withdrawal therapy (or self-torment).
One of the things I know I will definitely miss is the ease with which I can find things here. I am going to absolutely go crazy without the grid layout. I am also going to miss the subways. Ask anyone who knows me, I was not meant to be behind the wheel of a car. Traffic makes me angry, finding parking is a drag and I hate not being able to enjoy the fresh air. Back in Mexico, public transit is just not an option nor is walking so I will have to deal with driving every once in a while or resort to begging for rides. Hence, MTA, I shall miss you SO much, even with your delays and packing us as if we were sardines.
I will also miss walking around skyscrapers all the time. As much as I miss the view of the mountains back home in Mexico, I shall definitely miss the beauty and modernity of seeing concrete everywhere I look. Not to mention the fabulous rooftops which I admired from our room.
Another thing I will also miss will be the impromptu shows in the middle of the street, subway, platform, Times Square, etc. My favorite was probably the one where a group of six hip-hopped on the subway and did backflips while the subway was in motion.
Peace out New York, it’s been real.
