I want to go to New York City and Paris and London and I want to feel the anonymity of being in a foreign city and being surrounded by hundreds of people who are going in a hundred different directions.

Thursday, December 7.
There are apples, and then there are apples.
And this would be the latter. In fact, apples really don't come much bigger. If this particularly large apple were a nation-state, it would have the tenth-largest economy in the world. Which is pretty good, for an apple.
But this is New York City, after all, and its reputation precedes it. Sometimes described as the world's most important city, sometimes as the capital of the world, it truly is all things at once. It is defined by its fevered, electric pace of life. A global city in which 800 languages are spoken, it is a cultural, historical, sporting, and political superpower. It is, famously, The City That Never Sleeps. Better still, it enforces a right-to-shelter law ensuring, in the legislature, a bed and roof for anyone who needs one, regardless of immigration status.
Today it transpires that #new york is trending. A lot is going on, so take your time. Enjoy it.
