English speaking room

Nataly - thank you for your response. It is great to know for sure!

Esmira - Unfortunately, economy effects LA a lot. Unemployment rate is pretty high here. I guess that why people become more aggressive then usual, there are more shootings on the street. The last case, some idiots shot outside during daytime in residence area and shot a 4 year old boy instead of themselves.
Some restaurants are going out of the business. It is very sad.

However, people in general very friendly and welcome all new comers.
People love their cars and practically live in them. And, yes, traffic is horrible sometimes. I like it here because it is closed to everything, in the same day, you can go skiing in the mountains and then you can go swimming in the oceans. It is possible and some dudes do so.
