I don't get the draw of the city. In fairness, I've only visited New York once, my only trip into a city and I had a good time.
The city has what's been seen over and over again in cities everywhere. Buildings, people, filth, concrete, bad smells, rudeness, have all been experinced before and reasserted in cities for as long as they've existed.
In the country, it's quite the opposite. Nothings quite the same. New things are meant to be discovered. Inspiration lies everywhere, beauty, seclusion, silence, calm, serenity.
