I love big cities. I love them to the point that I was even not afraid to go
to New York City during current summer heat wave (oh god, I love living in the
bay area where you can't beat the weather!). Although, in the cold of winter or
in the heat of summer, I love big cities, busy looking people in suits hurry in
and out of tall buildings, street noises, hustle and bustle. But in order to
stay sane in these crazy urban swirls, you need a place to hide, a place "above
and beyond" . The High Line in New York is definitely one of them.

In Paris you do not feel like you get smashed by skyscrapers. But you still
need to get away from crazy everydayness of a big city.
