"the" city, as in new york? i hope its not that bad. im gonan be there this summer

it's probably comparable to where you live. manhatten isn't too bad. i'm sure you won't be too shocked. much faster pace, though.

just bigger, prolly dirtier, and taller buildings

new york is not that bad. i love going there. maybe i'm just used to it but nothing ever bothers me. the subway system is just really hard to navigate.
