Living Apartment Style...

I always laughed when people would complain about how they could hear their neighbors when they lived in apartments because I never really thought I would have to worry about it. I never really thought it would bother me because at night I would just take my hearing equipment off and I wouldn't hear anything.

But scratch that...

The other week I stayed with some friends in New York City in their apartment which happened to be on the 17th floor. But even though it was pretty high up, I could STILL hear the traffic outside! It was so annoying when I would be reading or just hanging out there when every ten minutes I'd hear someone honk their horn or hear the police or ambulance go by! It was almost like the windows were open, but they weren't! lol

Even though I wouldn't want to listen to that everyday in my own home... I still thought it was kinda cool that I could hear everything outside from the 17th floor! lol I guess that's something you'd just have to learn to deal with living in the big city!

Here's a picture of the view outside the window...



The city was so much fun though... we had the view of the Empire State Building! :)
