I overheard an interesting conversation between a woman who had hitch-hiked to the city from 'up near the Canadian border' and an older Jamaican woman on the subway back to my Brooklyn neighborhood today...
JW: I heard Canada is naiiice but new york is more exciting
...
HH: miss Jamaica?
JW: A little bit...I go home every now and then
...In America people don't laugh as much. In a small country people laugh a lot...they got less but they have more, more in life.
Hmmmm...
this eavesdropping escapade reminded me of my earlier post on peoples' adoption of the surly-new-yorker/apathetic-and-jaded-seen-it-all attitude...
