person A: I lived in New York City for a couple of years and it is definitely a place where one can feel quite alone if you don't have family or friends.
person B: I understand. Is your family living far from New York?
person A: Yes_comma_ a plane ride away. But there was also a lot of cool things to see. I think it was a good experience but it would be better with friends and family.
person B: It is always cool to have family and friends close by.
