Miami isnt bad, its different

I am a New Yorker, upstate, not NYC, although I spend a lot of time there too. I have visited Miami many times and lived there for 3 months last summer. I am of mixed heritage, Latina, black and European. I love Miami. I love the laid back lifestyle, feeling of a foreign city and cultural diversity. It’s a tropical metropolis with the urbane-ness of New York but the pace of the Caribbean. I don’t expect people to chat w/ me, say hi, hold the door or speak English. But maybe that's because I'm not from the Mid-West. Miami is practically South America. You know that before you go. So don't complain about people not speaking English. Bring a Gringo to Spanish dictionary if you must, but don't complain, you're not in Cleveland or Santa Monica. This is a beautiful city that is not suited for most people looking to start a career. It is a city for winding down your career, taking it easy or partying. If you're looking for something else you came to the wrong place.
