I don't think there's any reason why this class should only be about Salt Lake. If anything, the experiences I have in other cities create more context in which to understand SLC. Anyway, I'm heading out to New York (the city part) over fall break to visit some friends and extended family. I was trying to think of some differences between New York and Salt Lake, but didn't come up with much. Oh! They're both totally grid-type cities. There we go.
I have a bad habit which forces me to try to blend in where ever I go. The thought of some well-seasoned local New Yorker spotting me for an obvious tourist scares the hell out of me. I guess that means I should wear black. After all, I'm going to New York. Or is that a myth? Maybe New Yorkers favor more earthy tones.
To tell the truth, though, there are some touristy things that I want to do--I want to go Greenwich Village and Central Park and a museum or two. Otherwise, I'm pretty content to wander around. Perhaps I'll see a node or an edge or something.
This post is mostly about my anticipation. I don't have much to say about New York yet. My family put me on camera duty (baseball caps and Hawaiian shirts anyone?), though, so I'll be sure to post a few Polaroids when I come back.
