Totally true statement. I was re-engaged in the travel related suffering that often occurs in foreign countries in E1. The NYC sequence early bored the shite out of me.

Back to the stairs, why does someone that lives in NYC suffer so much with them from that era?

It helps a lot to quasi-know at least one romance language so you can sort of get what is going on when he hits Italy. Even with subtitles, you're just getting Italian with the locals.
