New York Character: The French Firefighter

Who: Emmanuel, 23, Aspiring Firefighter
Hometown: "Here and there. Born here, raised in Strasbourg, France. Have travelled a lot. I have lived in New York for approximately a year."

Interesting Fact: He considers himself asocial and "does not care for anything the general population likes"

With that said, I had to ask what he actually liked about New York, after moving here to become apart of FDNY.

What he likes most about living in New York City: "The fact that it literally never sleeps. There are so many 24/7 spots, and you can get access to pretty much everything at any time of night in Manhattan. I also like how anything is possible here, good and bad."

He made sure to mention what he dislikes the most about living in New York City:
  • "too many people live here"
  • "the excessive American lifestyle"
  • "New Yorkers are obnoxious"
Aren't French people obnoxious too? "No. We are just a proud people."
