Here are a few things I have learned since being here in LA. Some are generalities and some are fact!
1. That's not a summer afternoon thunderstorm I see brewing, it's smog.
2. It never rains. (I miss a good thunderstorm.)
3. Any job in the hospitality field, and others, requires a head shot.
4. Business casual means jeans.
5. There isn't a quality one stop shop for groceries & services. (I miss Publix!)
6. It's a good idea to be home by dark.
7. You are a social minority if you do not own I dog.
8. Drivers are infatuated with using their horns, they are not afraid to use them.
9. Do not go east of Fairfax on Sunset Blvd if possible.
10. Wine is everywhere.
11. California avocados are delicious.
12. Football does not seem to be important to most.
13. Shopping is amazing!!
14. I am a minority.
15. Every street has it's own fashion & culture.
16. The vegetation is beautiful and remarkable!
17. Cost of living is very expensive (tax rates, rent & goods in general).
18. Cab drivers are actually pretty nice and for some reason never expect a tip.
19. It's not your paranoia acting up, people really are staring at you.
20. There is a general lack in sidewalk etiquette, moving over or making room is a foreign concept. If a group walks by 3 wide no one bothers to move to accommodate someone going in the other direction, they will run you into the grass.
