| Interesting observation about the contrast between NYC and Washinton. I just cam back from a trip to California (San Francisco mainly) and felt the difference between great cities are as much as that of individual persons.
I'd even call the difference 'personality' or 'souls', all great cities have it's own unique personality and charms (or in rare cases, annoys) me in different ways. On that aspect, Shanghai feels like the NYC of China, while Beijing feels more like Washinton. In the UK, London is closer to NYC than Washinton. I live in Manchester and for years I disliked it because I think Manchester is try too hard to be an also-run and lacks it's own individuality. |
