New York is a lot of trash
On my way back from the fire performances at John’s party, I met a tourist/homeless looking person (i dont know why backpackers seem to look homeless, i wonder if I also seem that way). He was from Germany, visiting New York, taking pictures of art exhibitions et al. I asked him what he thought of New York…
Man: New York, umm… here there is a lot of trash.
Me: What do you mean – trash?
Man: I get take out – they give me 5 different boxes. I dont want 5 boxes, just one. I go to put garbage, there is no recycle bin. In Germany, they have different boxes for glass, metal, paper. Here – nothing.
