Long island

I am a person full of complaint. So naturally, when I move to a new place, I complain about it.

Qing asked me what long island is like. I said not good. She asked how not. Actually I don't really know exactly what are not so good. I told her it's a small town type of place, too countryside. So she asked, like princeton? Oh, no, not as upscale. Like berkeley? Not as dynamic. And not as beautiful as palo alto. Not as fun as new york.... Okay, qing said. You are comparing it to the best aspect of the other places...

Today, an early saturday morning, after some rain last night, with light breeze over the face, a fresh smell of green grass, a cup of coffee at hand, I start to feel that maybe it isn't really that bad.
