On my arrival in New York, Manhattan that is, the thing I was most surprised to find out was how tall those skyscrapers here really are. Well, when you see them on TV you say: "Wow, that's large!", when you come here, you say: "Wow, they're really large!", but after awhile you tend to say: "With all those tall buildings around, you just don't realize how tall they really are. It takes away part of their size!" But generally you can say that everything is bigger and bolder here than in every other city or country all over the world.
