Research For My Book

[browngirl]

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

I love the take out and food choices in the city. Ethnic markets, a bazillion different kinds of food a phone call away. I also like the fact that there are so many different cultures in the city - in my neighborhood we have a huge Pakistani population due to the mosque a few blocks away. There is also a large Hispanic population here on our block. There are a few African Americans, a few Caucasians, some Cubans two houses down who fly the Cuban flag over their house, it's a really exciting mix. I love bookstores and interesting shops and in general all the choices available with everything.

The first time I entered a city I thought it was the most exciting thing I'd ever seen. There was an energy and an excitement to the streets and the tall buildings were mysteries to be explored.
