The traffic in LA really is that bad. This may come as a shock to many foreigners, but LA is not well equipped when it comes to public transportation. Always factor in a lot of extra time for travel and be aware that you can’t simply hop on a bus or a train to your next location.
The climate of Los Angeles is classified as subtropical-Mediterranean, a rare and highly desirable weather classification. The number of days with any sort of measurable precipitation barely reaches 20 and LA’s sunny disposition is always shining.
The stark contrast of LA’s neighborhoods can sometimes be hard to navigate and taking a wrong turn into a bad neighborhood can be a common (but reversible!) blunder. Just remember to use common sense, steer clear of dodgy areas, and remember nothing good happens after midnight.
