I'll elaborate. I'm accosted by homeless people that smell like piss that's been in an oven all day. This city has the most pissed off "minimum wage" workers I have ever encountered, they're like effing zombies that love to be miserable. I get funny looks when I'm in the subway dressed up for IPPE because I'm not black, sorry folks.
People from Jersey don't know how to drive while they're in this city. It's got the most useless/dirty public transportation system on earth. When you bring a car, it'll have its airbag jacked and/or keyed....twice in 3 months.
The smoking rate here is sky high, can't wait til these people get cancer and die.
Half the city looks like eastern europe during the cold war. I think this city has a record # of abandoned buildings 2nd only to Detroit.
My girlfriend pays DOUBLE the income tax as she did in California. I did the math, it's ******ed. This city charges a "wage tax" and I don't see a dime of it at work. Funny thing is...a pharmacist living in the city here would pay roughly the same in income tax as California. Funny how that works.
So, in short...I'm taxed double, paid less, AND I get to deal with the most ghetto/stupid public population ON EARTH.
I want to get my degree and get the eff out of here, this place will eat you alive and make you grumpy/bitter. I'm staying in my bubble and only associating with people that have to do with the success of my future degree and that's it. Patient population? Fine, that's actually fun.
Oh, and the Japanese food here is non-existent. The Japanese exchange student I was talking to the other day told me the closest good food was in "Noo York." At least it's cheap to go there.
Beat that
