New York was awesome. I was in the Hamptons for four days on business, but still got to see and learn a lot about life and culture there. I am amazed at how drastically different life is there than in Los Angeles! I thought to myself, "This is an AMAZING place to visit, but I would never want to live here!" I learned that the slums of East Hampton means you own a house worth 2-4 million dollars. Yeah... You read that right... SLUMS = 2-4 million dollars! I saw a 70,000 sq ft home for $100 million, a 100 acre lot of land that was just sold to it's next door neighbor for $60 million (so that he could plant grass on it and not have a neighbor!)
Eating was interesting... It's illegal to have any corporate chains in the Hamptons, so you don't see any McDonalds, In n Out, Dennys, etc... I like that for a lot of reasons, but I DONT like having to pay nearly $70 a plate everywhere you go!
I just found it to be worlds apart from my comfort zone. I loved it that almost everyone knows everyone in town and I loved it that there was so much open space and beautiful green land. It seemed to be a very relaxing place with awesome beaches. For this reason, I would love to go back and vacation there, but residing there, NO!
