There's seven and a half million people on a small island.
It's beautiful.
It's like Manhattan, but even better.
Like people always say, oh my God, New York is like the best city or whatever.
When I went to New York, I wasn't even impressed because I grew up in Hong Kong.
where the tall buildings are amazing, the subways are clean, and there's just like an energy of the people everywhere on the street.

And then we got to this restaurant, and it was an El Pollo Loco.
That was his favorite American restaurant.
