Shop NYC Top

Visited NY in 2014.

Growing up in the middle east, I’m used to terrible customer service and rude employees. The internet often says New Yorkers are rude.

Then I visited for 5 nights. The rudeness didn’t feel like rudeness at all? Maybe it’s a result of my upbringing but the ‘rudeness’ I encountered was mostly people being curt.

It’s understandable because the city is big and people are busy. It felt like any major city I visited. Been to Paris, Berlin, Dubai, HK, SF, and Houston. There were nice and rude people everywhere.

That was me as a tourist. Not sure what would it be like if I actually lived in the city.
