In the essay, please recall and describe your first impressions of being in a city that was previously unknown for you. Then analyze these impressions using the theory of Stanley Milgram. Please indicate such core markers of city atmosphere as its visual appearance, tempo/pace, and norms of behavior shared by the city-dwellers. Try to also estimate the effects of information overload in the city under discussion. Finally, please reflect on how (1) the knowledge/images/expectations about/of the city you had (not) had before the visit; (2) the features of your place of residence; (3) your earlier experiences of mastering new urban spaces (or lack of such); and (4) the duration and goals of your stay in the city under discussion influenced your impressions. Speaking about your expectations of the city, please mention the sources of information (e.g. books, films, Internet, stories from acquaintances, etc.) that influenced these.
