I don't think they can really be compared.

No more than NYC can be compared to L.A.

Just not apples to apples........

(Of course I am originally from The City.... :hehe: :hehe:)

well new york city is definitely the closest thing americans COULD compare to tokyo....that's among the reasons why many native japanese studying abroad choose to go to new york. but i agree the two cities aren't necessarily similar.

new york city is death in the summer.....but so is tokyo....digustingly humid...but you're from the philipines so you should already know that.

Tactfully put!! :D And no disagreement from me.

But mostly what I meant is that The City is the world's melting pot in its own unique way. :thumbsup:

i always said so...one observation i made after living in new york for three years was that the new york subway was one of the only true melting pots in america....at any given moment, you might share a car with an investment banker, an office worker, a plumber, a recent immigrant, a student, a day worker...all of different ethnicities.

Its amazing.
The South does not have anywhere near the diversity.
Or liberal thinking for that matter.
But the weather is hella better. :thumbsup:

i think in certain parts of the south....when someone mentions diversity some ppl think they're talking about the types of fried foods available. :bonk:

i'm sure you got that on new york...the weather in new york can be pretty severe.

Just finished watching a documentary in discovery channel about Shoko Asahara's cult, Aum Shinrikyo and their famous sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway. Right now, resending my votes to littlemissfab and gonna play Shogun Total War later :)

it's highly possible...i remember one time i was sitting in a room with a bunch of colleagues and we are all working on the same matter...and we somehow got on the topic of the National Rifle Association...and someone made a quip about it and he thought the comment was too severe (because he's all about right to bear arms and all, right) and he retorted back calling her a nazi.....the woman was jewish....

good one, moron.

a.k.a. National Redneck Association. If you don't have a t-shirt that says "Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" you must be a bleeding heart liberal.
