NY vs. MLA is the brainchild of my friend Kirsten, a Manileña who used to live in New York.

Some of these scenarios are specific to the places mentioned, but the spirit of this exercise will probably be familiar to anyone who’s ever moved away from home or gone through the process of repatriation.
