New York??!! Do you know how far away that is?! :) This might be sound
advice if you live near one, but I happen to live in a small town, with the
nearest city (or what Americans would call a city anyway) about 80 km
away... What we call a city over here is 30-40,000 people, and it is _very_
quiet compared to what I see on tv about American towns, not really the
place to sniff up the atmosphere of a big city (but we _do_ have drug
dealers! No real shoot-outs yet, BTW :)

Yoda-English perhaps? :)
