I've been here for a little over two weeks now. It's a little startling to live in such an urban area after champaign and the washu campus. I don't really notice it unless I go somewhere where there are trees or open spaces though. The streets here are narrow and dirty and there's always a lot people and of noise from traffic. I walk everywhere here, so I notice these things more. It's difficult to find a lot of things in this city, partly because of the way it's layed out, and partly because shops are so specialized, there aren't really convenience stores or anything like that. The upside is that I've seen a lot of the city already, unlike at WashU, where I almost never left campus. It's easy to walk here and end up at an old church or a museum or something interesting without trying to.
