Why Do New York Transplants Say This!

I'm just glad there's not rain. That's how I am from Seattle. That's how appreciative I am of New York. I appreciate it, too. I got a pet peeve. How come people always move to New York and then immediately want to travel? I'm walking around the city right now with Stephie. You guys know her from the Cheap Chinatown Eats. We're going to go meet up a friend for dinner. I know it's a very early dinner. Maybe a pre-suffer, whatever you want to call it. But I got something we were talking about where it was like you just moved here from Hawaii. What about 3 and a half months ago? Mhm. and you experience kind of the tail end of winter and then you got spring and then now it's getting into summer. It's so hot. I'm so sweaty right now. It's a different kind of heat. But but you you're saying that you want to leave and go back to Hawaii. No, I said now I know why everyone says that everyone leaves New York in the summertime cuz it's so hot. But then people also say a lot of people leave New York in the winter time too. So, how do people move to New York and want to leave during the winter and the summer? And who can even afford to do that? Okay. Well, you're you don't mind summer here because you're from Seattle. You're saying I'm more appreciative of this. Yeah. I just froze for months. Now it's thawing off. I'm just glad there's not rain. That's how I am from Seattle. That's how appreciative I am of New York. I appreciate it, too. I love the winter. I was like, "This is so great. Everyone was freezing. I was like, "This is amazing. There's snow. Oh my gosh." fresh. So, I appreciate winter, okay? But summer here is just I don't know if it's the building, the concrete, it's just all the heat is just back it up real quick. So, you're not one of the people that wants to leave during the winter. You like the winter cuz you moved here, you spent a lot of time here in the winter and that convinced you to move to New York. So, I you know when I told you back I said Steph if you like like New York in the winter, you're going to love it during the spring. Yes. Which I did. Yes. So you you so you love I love it now. Yes. But I just said I understand why everyone leaves. I get it now. I was like how could you hate summer? It's just like similar to New York. New York summer is similar to Asia summer. You know how everyone like in summertime you're going to die like from heat and blah blah blah. Okay. So so I get the discomfort because I'm kind of wet right now. I'm not going to lie. And it does feel like Asia. But what I was going to say is that I love the energy of the summer in New York because I'm more of like an energy of the people. This is just my opinion. I get it, right? You know what I'm saying? We're like everybody's out. You know, I might wear a tank top at some point. You know, just a tank cuz you know, I've been working out. So, I'll do that, right? I get it. Everyone in the winter time kind of hibernated stays indoors. Now, you get to see people walking around in tank tops and like cute like, you know, slippers and stuff, shorts. But I came to a place where it's summer all year round and everyone dresses like that all year round. So, I guess maybe I don't think it's anything different. I It is nice though. I feel the energy. Everyone's happier, smiling. So, what are you going to be doing in Hawaii? If you go back, let's say you go back to Hawaii for a couple weeks, what are you going to be doing? I am going for a couple weeks. I'm sweating. I'm going to the beach. Oh, that's another thing. How you going to have summer without a beach that you can swim in? That's like right there. There are beaches in New York. Yeah, but how far do I have to travel to get there? And they're not like I can walk 10 minutes from my place in Hawaii and be at the ocean. So Steph, I guess every just you're just telling everybody to be like you just go back to the summer. Yeah, come let's go to Hawaii together. Let's go. Let's go. Let's Everybody can do that. Everybody out there who's just go Hawaii. Easy as that. Yeah. Buy small so Andrew can pay for all our tickets. Woohoo. You have to buy a lot of small. Anyways, my side note is uh on the dating apps I always see like like girls say uh just moved to New York, but I'm looking for a travel buddy. And I'm like, "Wait, so you just moved to New York and you're already thinking about traveling?" But you didn't even travel around New York yet. New York's fun. You can travel when you're back here. You can Why do people move to New York just to travel? I don't get it. When you're not traveling, it's really fun still versus you're stuck somewhere boring and you have to travel. Now, when you're New York, you can still travel, but then when you're home, you can still have adventures. Wait, so you're so you're agreeing with those people? Yeah, it's win-win. It's like my home base now is somewhere exciting with like great energy, ambitious people, and I'm also seeing new places, exploring new experiences, and then you come home to another great experience. But New York is so hard to move to. It's so expensive to live in. Why do people just want to get here and leave? I don't get it. I guess if you can find a sublet, some things are worth it. It depends on what's worth it to you. I don't know if I'm going to post this video anyways. Why? All right, guys. Uh, we're going to go get dinner real quick with at 4:30 with my friend Candace. This person right here. Where is he? How are you? All right, everybody. We're here at Chi Chinese Restaurant. Definitely check it out on 37th Street. I'm here with Candace. Candace, you actually uh you're also raised in Hawaii, right? Yes. Yes. Uh that's kind of how you know Steph, but you're also from China. Where? Northern part. Give a shout out. Yeah, absolutely. Aloha everyone. This is Candace. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, grew up everywhere. Uh went to middle school in China and then moved to Sri Lanka when I was 17 and lived in California and Europe. Okay. So you Anyways, anyways, you've lived everywhere or you've lived in a lot of places and you've traveled a lot. So why do people are they the same person who says, "Hey, I like to leave New York in the winter because it's too super cold." Are they the same people who are like, "Oh, I like to get out of New York during the summer because it's muggy." How can these be the same people? Is it that they just have this so much money or is it like who can do that or like what do you think? What's your opinion on it? Okay. Okay. So this my perspective uh my two cent um like I moved to New York City because I think New York it's the city of dreams city or opportunities and I wanted to be here to become the person that I really want to become. Uh but because we work so hard that's why we wanted to get out a little bit to recharge to be rejuvenated and so we can come back work a little bit harder. So that's my take. So it's like you you want to leave New York, take a break, come back in. We can dive straight into it. We can grind harder. It works. So where are you going? And are you leaving at all for a significant amount of time in the summer? Besides going into your heart, uh by making it into the YouTube uh yeah, besides going to your heart, don't be tricked by her. Don't don't fall for her trick. Say it from my heart. Those are Jedi mind tricks, guys. Okay, so what? uh this summer, California, Korea, uh possibly China, and then come back. Korea's gonna be super hot, right? I mean, those places are all gonna be hot. You Yeah. Yeah. You guys should come. You guys should come with cuz you're hotter. So, like, you know, we can probably beat that weather. [Laughter] So, anyways guys, just to kind of round out this video, I just feel like you need to really have a strong appreciation of New York. Obviously, I get it. Candace makes a good point. You work so hard when you're here. You got to get out, take a break. Obviously, it is very hectic outside. Uh there's sirens everywhere. I get it. It can be hectic. I recommend trying to find a place of peace in the city if that's possible or right outside of the city. Obviously, not everybody can travel uh globally, internationally, all the time. But definitely like I get your point about leaving, taking a break, resetting, recharging, then getting back in New York and just grind grind. Yes. Yes. Anyways, guys, let me know what you think in the comments down below uh about this because I always thought it was funny where people are always like, "Oh, I got to leave New York in the winter." And then they're like, "Oh, I got to leave in the summer." I'm like, "You're just leaving New York all the time. Why even live here?" But I guess there is another York perspective to it, right? Maybe I'm just Maybe I'm just so pro New York. We're also We're also pro New York. Yeah, we're also pro New York. I agree. We're all about New York. Our home is City of Dreams. Dreams.
