Yeah, I can be a loud, opinionated New Yorker.

I'm also in general one of most courtesy minded people you'll meet.
When I'm not rushing to an appointment etc something really time sensitive - I love welcoming meeing people who are first time, or on a return visit to NYC. Helping them if they need it, and I can.
Sometimes I even ask about them visiting if I'm nearby a group speaking in another language that look like visitors. A lot of fun!

I had so much fun doing a cross-country, and 2/3rds cross-country in '79, '80, and I met so many good, helpful people- I want to pay it forward.


Waaay later I got to Europe by the grace of family. Met lots of nice, and helpful people! (Pssst... even in Paris, France contrary to some people's experiences! . )
