General LA observations

This is just a generalism, not applying to all Angelinos, of course.

• The people are underpaid
• The diets are mostly hideous, consisting of fast food at least once a day.
• To cook for one's self is rare. To cook well, is even more so.
• Most groceries are woefully overpriced
• Pharmaceuticals (i.e. headache pills) are insanely overpriced ($8 for something I could buy for about 70 cents back home?)
• Almost everyone drives incredibly well
• Everyone drives extremely shittily in the rain.
• LA has a great road network
• There's a serious lack of any culture except Spanish/Hispanic
• The people are friendly
• The people are lazy
• Bars don't water down their spirits, as almost everywhere in the UK does.
• Hollywood isn't as swinging as most outsiders think it is.
• The trees don't lose their leaves in winter.
• It's rare for anyone to walk more than a block.
• Defining locations by road intersections is an amazingly effective idea.
• LA is easy to navigate.
• Almost everything is overpriced.
• The weather is great.
• There are significantly less homeless people and beggars than last year.
