Hey! Its been over a month now that i have been actively using PH! One thing that struck me was the different cultures and communities I have seen on the platform, from peoples names and bios I have seen their “origins” but I would love to hear from you! Where are you from? About me: I am actually 3rd cultured, while my parents are Indian- and thus my nationality is Indian- I lived and grew up all over the world(truly a privilege but would appreciate no “wow lucky” comments since my parents worked incredibly hard!) I am currently based in South East Asia! What about you?

@slimmy82 do you like NYC? I find it to be such a dreamy city (been just once) but many tell me I am delulu😂
@annie_chopra there’s so much to do and see here. So many restaurants and cafes. Definitely a magical city. But sadly it’s expensive to live here, and the winter months are cold 😫
Annie Chopra
@slimmy82 oh I do love the winter lol I would hate the rainy season though, I remember being stuck in one NYC rain lol - I much preferred rain in Chicago :P - As for expensive, IDK I find that the entire world seems so as of RN! was checking hotels for my birthday - The Palace Hotel NYC is nearly the same price as hotels in Delhi / Mumbai (Taj etc) and Bangkok has a whole different level of expenses lol
@annie_chopra haha yes!! Rain is painful here when you have to get around. Most of New York is walkable. Chicago gets freezing in winter
