Paul. “Why did people vote for Donald Trump? Voters explain.” The Guardian, 2016. Doesn’t want the government to be keeping secrets from him. “Trump is a slimy scumbag, who wears it like a badge of honour. But Trump is exactly what you get, Hillary is a phantom and you can’t know what’s real about her. Fainting in New York saying it was heat when it was a mild day, then saying it was pneumonia finally.

There is so much to see and do, that I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with my to-do list in New York. I was told that there is only one way to experience New York, and that is on foot. A big part of what makes New York so great is its atmosphere, and you can soak it up for free from just walking the city streets.
