I'm assimilating as well as one could hope. I've no real desire to assimilate to the mass media desires and the commercial interests, though I could always say that of myself, even when it was not so prevalent. The lights and noise are utterly wretched, and I can only assume that New York is worse at night, bright as day with all the lights and screens lit up.
I haven't even dared myself to go downtown in London, for fear it's just as disgusting.
