New York City people are friendly in their own way. You have to “get” the sarcasm. I asked a ticket controller for directions and he said ” just follow the signs.” On the bus to the airport, an elderly Asian woman with bad English was asking for help exiting at the proper stop. She was worried about missing her stop. The driver kept on shaking his head and saying “I didn’t tell you this was the stop yet.” New Yorkers are cynical and sarcastic… That’s just they way the are. They think that we Californians are plastic smiley people.
