New Jersey

I'm currently in New Jersey - Bergen County to be precise, which is just across the Hudson River from Manhattan and effectively a suburb of New York. It's as different from Oklahoma as the UK is. A sprawling urban jungle; dirty, busy, noisy and smelly; full of rude, offhand people, rushing about and driving terribly. A cultural melting pot: black, Jewish, Asian, Hispanic, Indian, East European. It's invigorating, uplifting, and exciting: I love it.
