New York is a state in the northeastern United States. It is sometimes called New York State when there is need to distinguish it from New York City, the most populous city in both the state and the nation. Because of the preponderance of the population concentrated in the southern portion around New York City, the state is often regionalized into Upstate and Downstate.\n\nFor more info, see below:

I spent like 3 months in grmany for doing an internship , i was feeling the same thing that you may be feeling . Kind of Lonely/depressed/confused.Discombobulated is the word if i may say. Actually this decision is for you to make.Are there other people from your country there ? Do you really like them ? do some introspection.Remember ,your mental health is more important than economic well being. Because ,if you do not ,things may go out of hand too.For me , I just cut short my trip & came back.

Politics in NYC are very complicated.

Sadly, yes it's true. The farther South or West you go, from anywhere around the D.C. to NYC area, people lighten up quite a bit. \n\nAfter I moved from Colorado, and noticed the major change of attitudes, and I formed a wacky theory.... The MORE people you cram into a SMALL state, the less elbow room and "personal space" each person has. Thus, the more aggressive said individuals must become to be heard, noticed, and generally make their way through day to day life. As such, the "rude" behavior is almost required (not right, but unless you want to be stepped on, required.)

I love it!  I love the texture and how it really makes you feel like you are in the thick of New York.  Of course, the show is about crime and there are definitely loads of other things going on in NY besides crime, but I love the complexity and truth that it conveys.

Without knowing, you choose to hate. That is a pitiful way to live. I was born and raised in NYC, and though there are many things that might not be nice, the city as a whole is a world on it's own. Many cultures and diversity make it the greatest city in the world. As the saying goes, If you can make it there(NYC), you can make it anywhere. So before you make assumptions about things which you know nothing about, Do Research and maybe visit. You might be enlightened. I hope that you change your frame of mind for your own benefit. It is the only way to grow and coexist with the rest of humanity.

I heard that they were planning to do that in New York, but whether the plan was implemented, I cannot say. Sucks though. It's not like we're dangerous or contagious.

happiness is a state of mind...fat or thin, rich or poor...it depends on how happy you are as a person and how contented you are to yourself...
