New York is a place in the United States that reminds me the most of Japan because of the efficient mass transportation in Manhattan and the surrounding areas. We had a fun time exploring all the food that was available as not all the stores had recovered from being closed due to the pandemic. A lot has changed since my last visit to the big apple. I feel like people have changed in the big city. I don't feel the roughness that used to be emphasized in NY. It's almost as if the people in the city are more welcoming to outsiders. Maybe it's just me. I talked to locals in the restaurants and on the street. The weather was perfect and I couldn't ask for better company.
