As a Nebraska native who has visited New York several times, I put New York City in the class of a nice place to visit but I definitely wouldn’t want to rent there. 🙂

  8. “I went to Coney Island recently. I rode this roller coaster called the Cyclone. The single most terrifying experience of my life. And I’m from _ucking Pakistan. I had like bruises everywhere. It’s like I paid a guy. Like, ‘Here’s a bunch of money … just kind of punch me all over.’ And then, when I got off, I found out that the Cyclone is the oldest functional roller-coaster in the world. I wish I’d known that before I risked my life. Do you know what year the Cyclone was made in? The Cyclone was made in the year 1927.
