For an Australian, what is it like living New York?

Can people please describe to me what it is like living in New York? :D

I live in Australia but I have been thinking last night what'd be like to work and live in New York :D

I've never lived in New York, but it seems to be a hodge Podge of different languages, accents and national origins. I don't see why an Australian would have too hard of time fitting in.

New York or New York City?

Everyone has different preferences obviously but some would definitely be turned on by it.

Doesn't sound white trash enough to be a TLC show.

Depends upon what part of NY you want to live.

People are pretty friendly in upstate NY, but you would have to deal with severe weather from time to time (storms, lake effect blizzards in Buffalo).

NYC is a nightmare to drive in and is expensive to live. The expressways around town have pothole problems.

LI is a nice area but some parts are expensive, and LI people don't like people from NYC.

Gotta get himself an Italian gf with parents that live in the ghetto.

There's a difference between "don't like" and "hate", and that was the talk I heard from a few folks while I was there, although it has been a while since I visited LI.

I've only visited New York, never lived there. But I imagine it is much more hectic than anything you can see in Australia... it's pretty overwhelming the first time you go, and exciting.

I've never lived there but when i visited it was pretty overwhelming.

Bunch of tall buildings everywhere and alot of people. (NYC btw)

It's dirty and it smells like urine.

There are nicer parts, like Manhattan, but unless you're at least a multi-millionaire, you wouldn't be living there.

It's great out here... just be a punk and look like a tourist if you're going to travel into the hood.

But for the most part it's like any other Major US city... lots of people and lots of traffic.

Lived here all my life and I'll say the only negative is; it's REALLY expensive out here.
