The land of fruit and honeys
by Jackson
Things I have learned from going to Miami:
Miami is great. It is the most superficial, do-nothing city in the US, at least parts that I have visited. It’s awesome. There is absolutely nothing to care about in the least. All there is to do is sit on the sand and drink insanely large rum-based drinks. The city lives up to its Sodom reputation, however, watching people have sex on the beach is way more boring than you’d assume.
My suspicion is that Miami isn’t really an American city at all. It’s actually a caribean city dressed up in fabulous Art Deco. I have this vaguely familiar feeling, the tempo is a distant reminder of the frenetic energy of Peru. It’s a hot city, except the sexiness is commodified and concentrated into shopping districts in a typically American way. Maybe it is an American city after all.
Everything that Will Smith said is true:
From Miami to “just a little more horrible” NYC. hah!
I’m glad you are having fun. I found that the brief time I spent in Miami was an excellent way to recalibrate the idea of work. i.e. it is possible — and maybe even an act of sheer genius — to do nothing at all except chilling on the beach drinking rum. So strange. So hot!!
Enjoy it!
