NYC Part 2 - The New York Attitude

New Yorkers have quite an attitude. It's kind of hard to explain. You can ask anyone directions for something and they'll give you an answer, it's just the way they do it that takes some getting used to. They like to keep things moving. They don't revel in conversational formalities. It seems like they want the conversation to be as short as possible, so they can get back to doing whatever it is they're doing. Everyone is on the move, always walking, listening to their iPods and talking on their wireless cell phones. Nobody waits for the walk sign, if there are no cars coming, they walk. If a car is coming and people are walking across, they just lay on the horn and speed on through.
