Research For My Book

So, what do you like about cities?

(If your answer is "nothing", that's fine, but I'll ask what people hate about cities in another entry sometime.)

Also, if you didn't grow up in a city, what was your first impression on the first time you entered one?

Thank'ee . :D

All that, and the food :) And the people, and the hundred little pockets and enclaves that can take you to a whole different world in the space of a few blocks, and the almost organic way the mood changes with the weather and the time of day.

And then there are Cities - New York, Bombay, London - where you can go out into the street and *feel* the pulse beat all around you, and feel more alive just for being immersed in it. Where the phrase "city of dreams" suddenly ceases to be a meaningless cliche, and the very air is pregnant with possibility.

Yay cities! indeed.
