New York from a Wasabi Perspective (Intro)


-Pronounce New York with an L before the K (City Accent)

-Calves and thighs look like rocks. (The Newyorkee exercise  their legs by going up and down the stairs to the subway.)

-Underground; ears grow cable roots that connect each individual to a MP3 or smart phone.

-Rat is a word that will pop up in your vocabulary more often.

-Above ground and after the subway, there is a need to wash your hands regularly, or to carry a key chain hand sanitizer.

-Lost in the city you ask for directions and you get indications by the application of an iPhone of the person you asked (I thought they lived here).

-If it pours, you don’t run to the car, you open an umbrella.

-If tired you can hang out in Central Park. (Watch it, Danny De Vito might sit next to you. He did!)

-Human bodies look like islands on a sunny day lying down across  a green field.

-Men with no shirts that appear to be taking a nap might snap awake and do impulsively ten pushups and then go back to rest. (What is it, intermission? Or the new silent pick-up line?)

-Most common pick-up line: God bless you

-To refresh your thirst, have an iced coffee.

-Food trucks that do not come to you, you come to them.

-If hungry and in a branded cafeteria you might select your meal accompanied by how many calories it has. (Yes, a guilty sentiment arises when you notice your favorite fruit smoothie contains the most calories)

-In Brooklyn, everyone is photo worthy and surprisingly couples match their outfits.

-Williamsburg (Neighborhood) for the young artist, designer, bohemian, hippy, gypsy, flea and …intensely VEGAN. Billy, I want chicken!

-In Williamsburg,  thearchitecture of studio lofts can easily open as an attraction park.

-Flyers are paper copies, yeap! There are still some punks hanging around.

-Ramblers pay their trip by performing in the street.

-Airport (LGA) has traffic lights at every pedestrian crosswalk, so make sure you arrive with 20 minutes in your pocket to spend at every red light while your cab reaches your airline transportation.

….I wonder New York, what would you think of me.
