New York City – you amazing, smelly, vibrant, and scary piece of work. You are the one that got away that I never want in my life anymore. You are the beginning (of my immigrant life) and the end (of my safe bubble in Myanmar). When I first met you in 2008, I hated you so much for pushing me so outside of my comfort zone. What’s up with your smelly subways, people dressing up like statute of liberty, slushy winter snow, resting bitch faces and basement chicken coops that are called bedrooms? And, more importantly, what’s up with white people looking alike each other? (Ok, now I can tell them apart. And no, I am neither ignorant nor racist) It took me a while to get used to your eccentricity, but I thank you for teaching me two things – mail-order muscle-boosting pills do not work, and Costco rotisserie chicken can be good eats.
