I some reason doubt that we regulars here on Jplop are mass murderers and ex-cons... Then again we follow 16 year olds in groups...
But really, I'm sure it'll all work out in the end
There are still 5 months left.
LOL Yes, despite having the reputation of being mean-city folks in a city that never sleeps, I dont think we're mass murderers or ex-convicts or something haha
Well, I know I'm not atleast
. tbh i'm actually the one kinda shy/nervous about meeting up with people from here, though I really wanna have the ultimate fun that day, so no one kill it, or us, please lol
Advice:
1) If you can't read a subway map (because that thing CAN get confusing with all the overlapping train lines with other trains), and you have 4g/wifi, just do google maps to give you train, bus, and/or walking directions to your destination. I know I still depend on that sometimes when I go to Manhattan (that place is a disaster if you dont know east from west side, or when the avenues start to change into names instead of numbers haha).
2) Just ask the MTA people, and you can ask other people for directions too. I'm always being asked by random strangers for directions and I always fail to give them any since i'm a terrible New Yorker who doesn't know his way around his own neighborhood (other people answer, dont worry haha).
3) Avoid being in the way/bumping into people, you never know what mood these hustling-bustling sleep-deprived on-coffee people are in, ESPECIALLY if theyre trying to get somewhere and theyre barely just going to make it. (I've been guilty, sigh, but it's true.)
4) Just have fun with the concert and going around the city. There's lots to see, tons of shops, and plenty of food variety to go around (not always cheap though, be ready haha).
