An unusual experience in NYC

[nestoj]

With Russian families, sometimes it's funny, you've gotta take Communism into consideration. On Dad's side: great Grandma and Grandpa - believers. Grandpa - not a believer, Grandma - a latent believer. (Grandpa was a military officer and could get in trouble for religion.) My Mom and Dad - not believers (they both had Scientific Atheism as a mandatory college class). Me - a believer (not the greatest one but I'm trying).

Same here...confirmed. Although, I'm not Russian and don't find the entire mess one bit funny.


And I don't get what's so great about NYC from your story...but hey - everyone is his own measurement authority. For instance, I was told NYC has the worst food in the world...that ranked it rather low in my eyes.

You don't judge food by what you're told. You've gotta TASTE IT! And if you want to know what's great about New York - you've gotta GET HERE AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELF!

Yeah? I trust the guy who told me with my life...but...don't think much of it - we have the best food in the world, us considering everyone else not-that-great is kind of natural.

About going there - it's on my TODO list, but there's so much fun places much closer...I fear I'll die before being able to delve further than Mediterranean. And hey...you guys have awful weather. I work for a NYC based company...and I've never had to deal with so much complaining and crying from colleagues as I did this winter.

It's the climate change, everything's out of wack.

We Americans are spoiled softies.

See! See? Not everything is great with NYC then, is it!? Climate change isn't hitting us that bad!!! Ha!




Don't mind me Mariya...I'm just kidding ya. I really admire the toughness and commitment of the people in your city.

To be honest...what I've seen on TV with you guys, this winter...if that happened to us...we'd be screaming unto the heavens.
