I recently came back to Los Angeles after a few weeks away, and in my first 2 hours, I realized afresh that this is the rudest, least civilized place on the planet. I got yelled at twice by bratty random people as I trudged on and off the public transportation. Such a nice welcome. When… Continue reading How rude are the people in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles metro trying to be good
When Taylor Swift was doing her tour this year, I saw lots of news articles about the "Taylor Swift" effect on public transit, and how people were taking the metro and buses to her concerts, and it was invigorating essential city infrastructure! So, given that Loserville (aka Los Angeles) is one of the biggest cities… Continue reading Los Angeles metro trying to be good
Siler City Fame
I went to the California Science Center, and guess what, there's a drawing of a kid from Siler City, North Carolina, hanging on the wall. Somehow, a drawing from one of the most random towns in North Carolina made it to a very busy area on the other side of the country. I'll bet it… Continue reading Siler City Fame
Is the Los Angeles metro safe? Part 6
Because Trash Angeles is literally the world's nastiest city and the big public embarrassment ever, the best strategy for riding the metro is to sit in the very first car. So that if anyone decides they want to beat you up, you can at least knock on the driver's door and hopefully that will stop… Continue reading Is the Los Angeles metro safe? Part 6
Is the Los Angeles metro safe? Part 5
I got on the metro at night after dark. Bad idea, but that's how it went. It was a Saturday night. By some miracle, my train section was completely empty. I relaxed ... for two stops. Then, a man gets on. There's 5 other train sections that he can sit in, but he has to… Continue reading Is the Los Angeles metro safe? Part 5
Is the Los Angeles metro safe? Part 4
The short answer is that nothing about Trash Angeles is safe. It's a trashy city that gets trashier and filthier by the second. I got on the metro on a Sunday night. It was already dark. This is not the smartest decision in the world to make. But that was how it turned out. However,… Continue reading Is the Los Angeles metro safe? Part 4
Is the Los Angeles metro safe? Part 1
This all happened in a single day. It starts in the morning with a guy smoking inside the train. It used to be that I thought this was the worst thing that could possibly happen -- how dare you think that it was okay for you to smoke in a train or bus? A bit… Continue reading Is the Los Angeles metro safe? Part 1
What’s it like in Los Angeles?
It's a summer's evening. At a train platform. One lady is pacing back and forth and muttering to herself. A man is having an argument with someone invisible. He suddenly jumps to his feet sassily and snaps his finger at his phantom rival. One person with unwashed long hair is crouched right at the entrance… Continue reading What’s it like in Los Angeles?
The central library in Los Angeles
The entire city of Loserville, I mean, Los Angeles, is a giant trashy dump. So imagine my surprise when I went to the main branch of the library and found it to be a very nice place. Los Angeles putting money and resources into something that you don't have to be rich to access??? How… Continue reading The central library in Los Angeles
The Los Angeles metro was on time
I was going from Pasadena to the West Los Angeles Regional Branch library -- they were having an arts program. You have to cross most of Los Angeles to do this. And I don't have a car, so I took four buses and light rails, and needed all the connections to work just right so… Continue reading The Los Angeles metro was on time
