I agree,I think New York (for a small town resident) can be very overwhelming. A well as big cities in general.

I know how Gord feels though. When my family left our simple PA hometown of 10,000 or so for the much,much larger San Diego...it was quite an adjustment!

Big city kids have very different attitudes than small town ones as well as the older people. Not as desperate as Gordon's situation but quite an eye-opener.
