I had a major bug for cities and for paintings and literature and all the things I thought went on in cities.
I have this weird tropism for islands. Take me to an island as far from New York as I can possibly go.

There are still a lot of Babel wannabes in Korea, so it'd be fun if 'Vincenzo' could break them all open in the second season.

The collapse of the Tower of Babel is perhaps the central urban myth. It is certainly the most disquieting.
