Sunshine, traffic congestion, beaches and mountains, pollution. Shopping malls, theme parks, palm-lined streets and vast urban sprawl. Mansions for the super-rich and shelters for the homeless. And did I mention traffic jams?
The freeways are just like a maze, and so is their culture. Many ethnic communities are scattered throughout the city. They speak different languages and eat different food. If you know which community to go to, you can find almost anything from any part of the world.
Daily life in a city so diverse as Los Angeles can be as different as chalk and cheese for each one who lives there. But no matter how exciting, stressful, fun or boring a day has been, it will come to an end. And here it often does with the glorious sunset light.
California sunset / Going down in the west / All the colors in the sky / Kiss another day goodbye. (Lyrics from "California Sunset" by Neil Young)
