I get off the train at Grand Central and walk out into the hum of the city and look up at the skyscrapers
That has actually been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, to go to New York City, and just stand in the middle and look up and around, experience the mayhem and madness. Not sure I could live there, but perhaps, but certainly like to experience it before I depart.

constantly overcast skies I do feel more comfortable and "alive" with inclement weather.
Same here, I love overcast, stormy weather, not the cyclones we get here, not to that extreme, but this continuous sunshine and heat, well . . . I don't like it all that much. Another reason I would add to my England choice.
