Good weather, good food, good looking girls...what else could you ask for?<br /><br />LA can be cool, but I prefer to live day in and day out in OC.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122769206871053366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38016877.post-33116032767382073302009-04-13T13:23:00.000-07:002009-04-13T13:23:00.000-07:00I don't live in a "fancy part of town" and there i...I don't live in a "fancy part of town" and there is no trash. Yeah, there is a bit of graffiti, but it is cleaned up pretty fast.<BR/><BR/>We drive fast, but we are good drivers. LA is so spread out, if you don't drive fast, it will take you forever to get anywhere LOL. But, most of the time on the freeways, it is bumper to bumper (at least at rush hour) so you don't go more than 10 mph anyways.snarkygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171912354851575328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38016877.post-3585062959209712162009-04-12T12:57:00.000-07:002009-04-12T12:57:00.000-07:00I actually thought the drivers, from my 1.5 day vi...I actually thought the drivers, from my 1.5 day visit there last week were extremely good drivers (they weren't poking around driving overly cautious) and I liked the aggressiveness. Like you I didn't care at all for LA except for the nice areas where the huge majority of vehicles were in the 6 figure range - where do they get all that money???<BR/><BR/>I also read through an apt guide and the prices were not expensive, when I was there about 10 years ago they seemed to be much higher than now (were ~1500/month compared to around 1100/month now - relative average of course).<BR/><BR/>The quantity of food and the costs were kick ass, but I think even better in northern california as you weed out the overwhelming number of wet back restaurants and introduce even more asian cuisine ($6 bento boxes!!!! in jap town). California is hard to beat, you should live like a tourist for the first couple of years - just too many friggin people, and mexicans... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38016877.post-17871000207595864672009-04-12T12:41:00.000-07:002009-04-12T12:41:00.000-07:00snarkygal: im sure there are nice parts.Andrew: ha...snarkygal: im sure there are nice parts.<BR/><BR/>Andrew: hahah IKEA is awesome, but its scary. stuff is cheap, but its like... well.. i just bought several hundred dollars worth of cheap stuff.

You should see the ones here in China, its like a near miss every 5 seconds, no one obeys the lines including the cops and not a single person has gotten in an accident yet, its incredible.
