New York, U.S.A.



Mirror Glass

Manhattan isn't like anywhere at all.

This city makes me feel physically smaller. The environs are not unfamiliar, but the scale is all off. It's just totally foreign - streets feel absurdly wide, blocks too long. Even the people feel too tall. I'd never felt short in my entire life until I first came to New York.

This place is fun, but I can't wait to leave.

I went out for epic sushi in the West Village, for a point of comparison. Baby eel isn't as good as unagi, but it's got that yummy baby-flavor to it.

...Icelanders must like sushi, right?

  1. Sounds a lot like Tokyo except that the people are smaller.

  2. That, and there's a 42% statistical decrease in the chance of Godzilla-related mayhem.
