I just wanted to give a shout out to my 2nd favee country ever :D and all the users who live there, active or inactive.

And L.A. is like.... meh. You don't go to LA when you say your going to it, you go to LA to visit every place around it, except the city.... get it? If Im not confusing enough >.<

Like Im in the OC (nothing like those MTV shows, btw), where people go to visit the nice a$$ beaches and surf. So basically when people say "I wanna go to Los Angeles for the beaches!", they really mean "I'm going to go 30 miles south of LA to visit the OC beaches, because everyone knows LA County beaches are dirty!" which is true, btw, because of the smog and pollution in LA.

And then theres Disneyland, which is like 20 minutes from me in the OC, and almost 1 hour from LA.... and then you have the mountains and forest to the east (2-3 hours drive to the mountains), and behind the mountains are the deserts (4 hour drive), and if you go north enough, you get the foresty-mountain types with the lakes and pretty rivers (like 7 hours... but still worth it :D My favorite is Mammoth Lakes, its like soooo pretty)

Anyway, Idk why Im doing some tourist-advertisement thingy....? But moral of this whole thing: LA is not that great, but everything surrounding Los Angeles is awesome, and usually what you see in the movies and pictures :)
