i know what you mean about 'bunny funk'
while the weather is warm i'm trying to keep my windows open constantly to let the place air out...even bought a few charcoal air fresheners to try and help that along. during the winter my house definitely had a distinct, ah, 'bunny butt aroma' to it.
i've only been to new york twice, both to accompany my mother on business trips, and so i've only seen manhattan and a small part of long island where a friend lived. even though i ADORE tokyo, i really didn't like manhattan ! i can't really explain why though, they are both pretty similar busy cities...i guess i just never feel unsafe in tokyo, no matter where i go. some of the parts of san francisco and oakland that i used to routinely get lost in when i had to drive new places i cannot say the same about...
