What are the differences between living in Los Angeles and New York City? To me, they seem exactly the same.
While I was born and raised on Manhattan and live there today, I did live in LA for six years while going to college and working my first two years after college.The LA Metro postdates my era ... back when I lived in LA it was something that people talked about wanting but that no one believed would ever happen. It's up and running now and quite extensive, which is impressive and a very good sign.A big difference is population density. The US as a whole has about 80 people per square mile. Los Angeles (Greater LA Area) has about 23.9 thousand people per square mile, while New York City (New York metropolitan area) has about 56.0 thousand people per square mile [List of United States cities by population density]. So NYC is more than twice as densely populated as LA.New York is near the Atlantic Ocean, while LA is near the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific waters near LA are colder all year round. The Atlantic near NYC gets warm enough in the late summer that you can frolic in the water without freezing, but the Pacific near LA is never that warm.LA has earthquakes. NYC does not have earthquakes.LA's average temperature is 63.9 degrees F, while New York's is 54.9, almost ten degrees colder.LA's per-capita income is $26.7 K, while New York's is $22.4 K.EmploymentIf you live in LA your industrial opportunities include aerospace, movies, manufacturing, tourism). In New York the economy revolves around finance, media, entertainment, telecommunications, high-tech, tourism and entertainment, publishing, and services.Finally (and this is a universal truth, with no exceptions) New Yorkers are all Type A personalities, while LA is entirely populated by laid-back Type B personalities. :-)[And if you believe that last line, you need to move to LA.]

The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell?
Its about a man named Rainsford, he falls off of a ship and into the amazon river. He finds land and discovers a huge chateau(mansion/castle). There is a man named General Zaroff there who takes Rainsford in and clothes/feeds him. Zaroff tells rainsford about his hunting experiences and how hes read rainsfords book on hunting, then he tells rainsford that he became bored of hunting animals so he invented a new prey Humans! Then he tells rainsford he either must be beaten/tortured by his servant who is an expert whiper, or he will be given a few hours to hide on a small island of forest and then be hunted, and if he is not found in 3days he wins. So rainsford of course chooses the later, sets a few traps and wounds the general his hunting dogs and his servant. At the end he wins and returns to the mansion and kills Zaroff and sleeps in his bed. *And to the answer below mine - dont be an a**hole and give me a thumbs down then go copy your answer verbatim(word for word) from wikipedia!
What would a graveyard smell like?
I would think wormy and muddy, like the smell after it rains during the spring.
What do you think about Turkish TV series?
%90 of them are trash. Hollywood is so disgusting that people actually believe Turkish series are high quality compared to them. Seriously though, even if you offer money I won’t watch hollywood. Why are they trash?1)Extremely repetetive: Cliche smelling names, stories are exact copies of each other. There seem to be around, let’s say, 70 Turkish series. There are actually at most 10. All others are clones.2) Love, love, love… Love is a decent topic. but not when it is abused.3)Very far from real life: So as a country %90 of your production’s are “slice of life” and all of them took place in most modern districts of Istanbul. This is not real life. What you see there is called “fake westernization” in Turkey. They look even more western than west but only looks. Mentality is still middle eastern.4) A parade of sexy actors: Only beautiful girls and handsome boys have the right to fall in love. That’s what Turkish Tv shows teach you.5) Extremely long: Each episode is as long as an individual movie. No exaggeration. Between 120–150 mins. Because dialogues take so much time. 1 side tells a word, waits 10 secs, other side tells 2 words,waits 30 secs. That kills the dynamism of the episode making it extremely long sleep material.6) If you want to watch a real Turkish production, watch Leyla ile Mecnun, İşler Güçler, Kardeş Payı, Behzat Ç.First one has extreme levels of Turkish culture, it may be hard to understand even if it is translated to English. Even thought it is tough work, a good translation will cover %80 of the concept there. This is the best thing you can watch in your entire life. During the years aired (2011–2013), it ranked #2 on imbd with 9.2 points after Breaking Bad.2 and 3 are like two pieces of one apple. They are both extremely funny in a harsh and violent way. First one’s (leyla ile mecnun) comedy was sincere, hearth warming comedy while these are tough and sharp comedies.Number 4 is action and drama. A revolutionary film who took place not in famous Istanbul but underrated Ankara.
