Okay it's nothing boxing related hence why it's on the Let's Get It On board but anyways I'm studying English Literature in college and just finished the novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and it was set in 17th century Boston in which it was Puritan Society and it's a pretty good read and I was wondering have you (or anybody else) heard or read this book (It's not that I'm struggling with it it's just for general interest).;D
I saw part of the movie,it was a chick flick.
I don't know what a Chick Flick means but the movie is shit but the book is better.Quote:

Anyway, Where in NY did you visit? If it was any type of suberb, meaning not in the city, but not too far north of the city, then it's pretty similar to where i'm from.. My girlfriend is from NY, she lives about an hour and 15 North of the city, and her town is very similar to mine..
RI is pretty cool though, if you can get over the fact that you're always going to run into people you know.. I live about 10-15 from Providence, which seems close, but i don't live a "city" lifestyle.. It's all suburban here for the most part.. Few small rural towns, and of course down south we have the beaches and some real nice areas.. can't complain for a small state.
In NY we stayed in Manhattan but visited Brooklyn, Bronx and got the ferry to Staten Island (If that's how you spell it :-\), great place and back home everyone states how it would be there dream to visit NYC seriousley.Quote:

that's great.. yeah, Manhattan is definitely a good day trip, but i'd never want to live in the midst of all of that chaos.. There is always something to do in the city.. I've never been to Staten Island, but i've been to Long Island and I loved it.. We had this killer hotel that was real comfortable, and the beach was about 30 steps out the front door of your room.. I think RI is cool simply because of the diversity of environment in such a small place.. As i said you have a few rural towns, then you have Providence the city, and then you have the beach area if you want a quick getaway.Quote:

Me too I could'nt live in Manhattan it's just crowded.
It takes 20 mins from where I live to Liverpool city centre (Which is quite densely populated) on a train and there's not tones of people but this year it is as Liverpool is European Capital Of Culture so there is a number of foreigners visiting etc but where I live it's not that much.
