Fun Facts About NY

(Cami wrote this in a letter home)

I meant to write this in my weekly letter but forgot!

Here are some fun facts about New York:

1-  EVERYONE is terrible at directions. Here’s how they usually are:

“You’re gonna go down the road. Then you’ll turn left (where?) then you’ll see a big building that’s brick (okay that narrows it down) then you’ll turn right. Then you keep going, then you’ll turn left (where?) and you’ll pass a white house with a lot of cars. Then you’ll turn left (where?) and our house is the one with the big yellow mail box.”

Everyone identifies their house by the mail box. And no one uses street names.
2-  Everyone just kind of throws their junk on the curb with a sign that says “FREE.” Usually the sign is gone before the actual item is gone.

3-    Everyone sits on their porch and none of the men find shirts necessary.

4-    Everyone says goodbye by saying “stay cool” or “stay dry” or “stay warm.”

And that’s New York! I’ll be in Owego another 6 weeks. Yay!
