The crashing of the waves, the beeping of cars honking, the fast rhythm of Latin music, the chirps of birds, the sways of palm trees, and the voices of many different languages are all sounds that I have heard here in Miami. I have been living in Miami-Dade County for the past 15 years and I can tell you that the whole county is not exactly the same, but there is one major thing that is similar all round the county, the saying of the words "Only In Dade." Residents of Dade County are all proud to be living here because of all the diversity and love they each have in their neighborhoods. A person from West Kendall may not know how it is to live in Hialeah, but we all work together to make Miami-Dade the best it can be. I can absolutely point out that the public transportation system here is not the best, but people find a way to manage. However, Public Transportation is a hub of all culture exchanges and improving it should be a priority for local and state officials. We need change!
This is a great county from my perspective, as long as you don't live in the suburbs and work downtown. If that is the case, the traffic getting to work would be horrendous. Other than that, my school is one of the best in the county, and one of the cleanest, and I am proud of that. There are many job opportunities as well; places open by my house that I would never have known about prior, and getting jobs is easy there too. The people are very nice and friendly to new faces as well. All in all, it can be a great place to live!
Miami is thriving and is built on a clash of cultures that has given birth to a culture of its own. All places are unique, yes but the city and surrounding area are truly its own species. The food, the music, the fashion all play into the city and influence pop culture and the way of life. Tastes of the Caribbean and Latin American countries give flavor to the local and neighborhood kitchens and high-end restaurants in Miami Beach or downtown Brickel. The fashion presence and street attitude evolve into a completely one of a kind experience for anyone who entries this city. People, it's the people of the city that makes it special, form the stories as to how and why they are here in the first place to the kindness in their heart and the toughness in their spirit. I love Miami. The people are the ones who won my heart but the city is where they live. we have the ocean and plenty of fresh fish to eat so make sure to come with a hungry stomach, Cheers!
