You thought we all knew that already? To think I thought NYC was one of the clever parts of the US ...

I'm sorry, I meant WRONG not right. okay...

I guess you can say the people in Queens are i bit different, or the average person anyway. Queens is full of spanish, asian and indian people, and where I live in queens is full of hispanics. Other then that, Queens is dirtier(most of it anyway). Manhattan is the island next to Queens that has all those tall skyscrapers everyone sees in movies. Most parts of manhattan seem to be inhabited by the richasses who give me no money to buy a new computer. lol. Yeah, when i go to school, I take the 7train from 82nd to 42Nd Grand Central(thats in manhattan). Then i switch to the four train and go north to Bedford Park in the bronx.

Nice but they really need to redesign their maps in budapest, because it's awful :? Was it made during the communist era?

Well I said MOST. Well make the half(ish). There are parts of Manhattan that look like slums. New York is great, i love the beauty of the complex subway system, but then everything is too dense and crowded and I just don't seem to enjoy living here. I like Toronto much better.

all my friends from toronto hate their city :? . and when i went there, I was not really impressed :? I prefer Vancouver and Montreal, but this is only my point of vue.

I don't see how anyone can hate Toronto, other than my dad. These people should be killed. I'll send my assasins at 11:00.
