I would love to live in NYC for 6 months to a year. Just a one time thing.
Besides that I have no desire to live in the USA besides as a snowbird when I retire.
West Philadelphia? Born and raised? Did you spend most of your days on the playground?Suburban Philadelphia, that is where I grew up
I just came back to the west coast after spending 6 months on the east---most of them in Manhattan. I've been home less than a month, and I have to admit, I kind of want to go back. I've lived -everywhere- (Boston, SF, Monterey, Alaska, Hawaii, southern CA, tons other states ). . . and for me, living in Manhattan was almost perfect.
