Only had two days though so I've only seen Manhattan.
It wasn't as crazy as I thought. Or maybe that's because I'm used to Tokyo.
What I did find crazy were the airports. It's the only country I've ever been to that doesn't make you go through immigration when you get out of it, the only country that has such crazy security check, the only country that make everyone go through the same security lanes regardless of whether they fly domestic or internationally, the only one where anyone can get in freely to the baggage claim area, the only one that doesn't allow for baggage and immigration free transfers and I could go on.
The airports are maddening.
I like airports, but the most chaotic ones for me are in Paris (Charles de Gaulle) and JFK in New York. The rest are not nearly as crazy! I hate immigration too, it's always intimidating, but nothing really happens. I've never had to file a visa exemption yet.
@light_sucks: Yeah I think a lot of urban areas in the US really fail at public transportation. I understand when the infrastructure cannot allow for a metro system, but they should really work on better bus services.. it's really poor shaming for people who do not have cars / cannot afford it, especially since car insurance in poorer / less urban areas is so much more expensive than in an affluent area.
