    I have lived in New York for my entire life. I’m a proud Long Islander and, before yesterday, would confidently proclaim that I knew a lot about what New York had to offer. Not that traveling around the metropolitan areas of New York could ever be boring, but growing up here the wide-eyed excitement that is often held by outsiders is not really ever present. New Yorkers are used to the dirty streets, bright lights, hoards of people and rich diversity that the greatest place in the world has to offer

    Pennsylvania, nicknamed the Keystone State, may be the 33rd largest state area-wise, but it is the 6th largest population-wise 1.

Philadelphia is known as the “birthplace of the United States.” The territory now known as “Pennsylvania” was disputed

    A century ago, Toronto was very different than it is today. One of the differences being that Alan Talon was about to release the first ever moving picture with sound on May 16 1908. But on what was supposed to be the most esteemed event in all of Canada, a tragedy occurred.

Perhaps the only diversity comes from the lone Indian restaurant and the few Halal markets that inhabit the “downtown.” There was always more to be desired, which drove me to seek distant civilizations and ways of life through
