Welcome video taya gofromAmerican Happy
США жахливі
Sent you an email. Plenty of IT connections to offer.
Sigh… I’d rather live in Ukraine
The American Midwest is more like Ukraine….with farmland as far as eyes can see with small villages and towns and big cities for clubs, coffee and shopping. Every state is different, very different.
That it is I lived in Tulsa for a time and it's like liveing in that transition between Kyiv and the open step with rolling hills before going into flat rich farm land.
Agreed 💯
I'm from St. Louis now living in LA. Absolutely. The Midwest is so much more affordable and less hectic.
Agree, I live in the Midwest and have been to Ukraine 6-7 times.
@@onrr1726I miss Tulsa so much, such a beautiful place to live in, perfect work-life balance and people are nice as well.
When you cross a border into a different state it is very noticeable. Everything changes state to state as you enter. Driving across the USA is an awesome trip. Don’t judge USA by California because we are huge country with expansive spaces. Diversity within diverse places.
No it's not lol. If you want to see different and very noticeable think of the countries she had to cross before getting her final flight. Crossing state lines is nothing. People still speak the same language, the money is the same, the roads are the same as are the stores, you don't need special adapter for electronics, etc. It's all mostly the same from state to state. OK maybe scenery is different but that is how it is almost everywhere on earth when you go from one region to another.
@@jdanon203 In the US English is the predominant language, but there are interesting differences. I've noticed differences between south Texas and east Texas. Maine English seems quite a bit different than California, New York, Iowa...Taya would be able to understand and be understood, but the same? US dollars are accepted. That's true in several other countries as well. Roads are the same? There is uniformity concerning interstate highways but even those vary state to state. Back roads vary widely in my experience. There are national store brands but there are large regional differences especially in smaller towns. As a son of a beach, I grew up on seafood. There is not a single seafood restaurant closer than 30 miles (50 kilometers) of where I live now. No special electrical adapters needed when crossing state lines. Correct. It's not the kind of diversity we seek. "...It's all mostly the same from state to state..." Maybe your shallow view of you cell phone is equally boring wherever you are.
Right but, CALI is the BEST! Get here…. We’ll do the REST. Can I get an amen!!
Lol try India. There's so much diversity inside just one tiny state it's disorienting and amazing at the same time!
Don't judge Calif over all. It is like a small country, very diverse, with major cities and rural areas that you might find in Texas and all in between.
The economy is # 5 world wide.
Welcome to the USA! We're happy you're here. Hope you meet good people and make friends and have many positive experiences and few negative ones. Take care of yourself. Slava Ukraini!
ЯНКИ ГОУ ХОУ
Oh?@@TolstiyParen
welcome to the US. Something perhaps to keep in mind is that the US is *extremely* varied. Lifestyle can differ vastly from one zip code to another, from one state to another, and from one region to another. I live in New England; my life in a small town is about as different as your life in LA as I can imagine (I have a lot of family in greater LA so I don't say this casually). The one similarity is we all still need cars to get around... anyway, welcome, glad to see you here. Ask us, we will help you with anything.
Good for Taya. She earned this trip. I'm sure your Cali subscribers will come through with all the help you need.
Word.. Holla.
WOW!!!!! Very cool. Somehow America just feels better with Taya here 😀👍
I know right!??? The sun rose much prettier knowing Taya is here.
I like seeing the Ukranians "escape" to the USA!
She deserves to be here = I hope her new friends help her as a ukranian-american❤
@Cuyahoga480at77 yes, she is welcome in usa.
Russia S×cks
I lived in the US for 3 years. Each state is like a different country. People walk in Rhode Island.
And a fast walker, can walk the whole length of RI, in a day!
@@ramblerdave1339Try that in Texas!
She went to the wrong state. She should have come to the east coast.
I am from Tennessee. I have been learning Ukrainian since the beginning of the war (taught myself just by reading online, watching videos).
I still have a lot to learn, but the alphabet is easy and I can pronounce/read no problem. Just have to remember what all words mean now!
I love Ukrainian culture and language. I hope to visit Kyiv one day.
Have you been wearing Nazi symbols so you'll fit in with the Ukrainians?
Hopefully it is in Russia when you do so it will be less corrupt before the war us citizens where warned not to go becauseof the corruption
@chriscalderin6677 The rampant corruption in Ukraine is mostly a thing of the past. Much has changed since the people revolted, and got rid of the Russian puppet government.
Your child-like exuberance is contagious. Welcome to America, Thank you for all the long hours of travel you endured to come here. Your comments are fascinating. I think you will do well while you are here.
Yes her comments were of great interest. My take is that her head was still spinning. Wishing Taya a good experience ....and she may consider visiting a Wall Mart etc. and reporting back .
Yes ty for honoring us with a visit! Plz stay SAFE!!
Welcome to California Taya! I have lived here since I was born so I know my state pretty well. Depending on where you are staying California can be very expensive. It's funny when you said gas was cheaper here, because in California it is $1 - $3 more expensive than the rest of the US. They say that California represents every kind of geography, from rugged coastlines, tropical beaches, deserts, snowcapped mountains, fields of grain, rain forests, to big cities we have it all. From the highest point in the contiguous United States (Mt. Whitney in the Sierras) to the lowest (Badwater Basin in Death Valley) only about 100 miles separate them. If you ever need any insight during your stay, feel free to ask.
And once , if California was a separate country, it would have been the 6th most wealthy country. It's probably around somewhere the tenth today with countries like Indonesia, Korea Taiwan China having leaped ahead.
I've been living in north Georgia for the past 21 years. California gas prices have been a lot more than a $1-3 difference from here, at least during the Obama years, I recall. I don't know how much it is there right now, but I can say my gas for the past 2 weeks straight has been under $2.50, and continuing to go down each week still. And just a few years ago, before the current administration, it came within 5 cents of reaching the last 2002 price I remember, which was $1.19.
@@Etereys Current price of gas just up the road and using my Von's shopping Discount is $5.77 a gallon. "Do not vote for Gavin Newsom."
We are on the way to becoming 4th largest economy in the world. #CaliforniaPride
Our Governor Newsom is working against the oil companies price gouging.
California gasoline prices are generally higher and more variable than prices in other states because relatively few refineries produce California's unique blend of gasoline. California's reformulated gasoline program is more stringent than the federal government's program. #EnvironmentalStandards
Taya, you need to understand that California has the highest cost of living in the entire US. I have two houses in the mountains north of LA and live permanently in Texas. I can tell you that the cost of living in Texas versus my life when in California is about 50% less in Texas. Fuel, utilities, groceries, basically everything is MUCH less expensive in Texas (and most of the rest of the US) than California.
Depends on where in CA.
Yeah, tell me about the electricity bill of your big Texas house in the summer. People pulling down 6 figures find it hard to keep their house cool. It's worse than the mortgage.
These states especially: California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Illinois - are dominated by major metropolis areas that are the stupidest places in the US these days. Is best to stay well away from them - or get well away from them.
Things cost so much (California has some THE highest petrol prices in the US and they have huge electricity rate hikes that are soon going into effect) as due to deliberate political policies. Anything over priced, anything, Taya, that strikes you as really stupid, retro-grade, or even out right (and shockingly) degenerate - will be due to political policies brought about by these specific major metropolis areas.
Because these areas dominate the ballot box at election time due to their population density, they screw up the entire states they are located in, as otherwise the rest of the areas of these states tend to be very reasonable - inclining toward being quite the opposite of the insanity found in their respective major cities.
@@TheSulross as a farmer in the central valley of CA I concur with your assessment.
@@TheSulross Yeah, live in the middle of a corn field.
Welcome! As has been said many times, America is hugely different from one place to another within its borders. I hope you feel free to move around until you find the location and lifestyle that fits you best. Some people choose different locations for different seasons. I like the Pacific Northwest Mountains in the summers and the Southern California desert in the winter. I get my fill of both city and country lifestyles that way too.
I am shocked how did I not know you were even coming to US. I hope you enjoy yourself. And your right long trip that was made longer because you had to start with a 12 hour train ride. Wish you chose the east coast but you do what is best for you. Enjoy and welcome to America. Slava Ukraine
Taya, I was born and raised in Los Angeles. In my Twenties I could not wait to get a job that would allow me to buy my first home. When I did, I bought as much home as I could afford (San Dimas - 1,800 square feet). I fixed it up and sold it, now it’s worth over 1 million dollars. Best thing I ever did for my peace and quiet. I’ve traveled all over the world. Nothing is more precious than owning your own home to live in, other than the family you love and would protect with your life. Welcome to America! I hope you see how truly BIG it is!
We hope your trip to the USA is a safe and pleasant one! Petro is not cheap in California. It’s much cheaper in the Midwest of US.
What?! You're here? Welcome Taya! I am so happy to see you are safe and get to travel abroad to the U.S.! Wonderful!
Welcome to the US, Taya! Glad you are here. Since you are near Los Angeles, you need to get on Interstate 40 and come about 2500 miles east to North Carolina. This is a very big country. I hope you'll get to see a lot of it. Have a great time here.
Welcome to America. It was interesting to hear your impressions of the United States. 😄
That was just her impression of california. If I went to California I'd probably be saying just about the same thing LOL
If you're still in Los Angeles, try contacting Karolina Protsenko, the 15-year-old violinist who lives in Simii Valley and often plays on Saturdays on 3rd Street in Santa Monica...
Welcome to California Taya! Thank you for sharing your first impressions of the USA. I hope you enjoy your stay here. I can’t wait to see your next adventures! Greetings from…California! 🤩✌🏻🫶
It's so fun to see you in USA, Taya. A lot of laundry rooms in apartment/condo buildings now have a card that you insert in the machines and there is a machine on the wall where you add money to your card similar to adding money to a public transport card. Most apartments in USA have air conditioning, but yes many older buildings in places like new york city don't have it, so it's something you need to ask about before renting if it's important to you.
I hope she gets into a better place soon enough. If her place doesn't have AC it must not be in a very good area. I live in Discovery Bay. It's a terrible place to live without a car-the nearest grocery store would take about 30-40 minutes to walk to...maybe. But it's quiet and safe, relatively speaking, and everything has AC thanks to how hot it gets in the summer time.
Welcome to America, Taya! I hope you're enjoying it, I'll be interested to see what else you post from here 😊
If you need anything while you are here just let us know! Come to Orange County where Disneyland is, it is much nicer and more calm and quieter than Los Angeles! We live near the ocean in Huntington Beach! You will love it here!!!!
I understand that most young, especially those who are female, foreigners who visit U.S., tend to typically desire to visit SoCal as representing their preconceived romantic vision of America?? But it's very unfortunate truly, whereas the cultural and societal experience is very complex and diverse and deep... Southern Cal is indeed diverse, but probably a diversion to a more positive opportunity to explore. Love, support and respects to you Taya and to Ukraine 🏊🔛
I've visited the US a number of times and always have a great time - and as you say, you have to visit SoCal including LA, Santa Monica, Venice, San Diego etc. But I've enjoyed states like Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Oregon MUCH more. I wouldn't rush to go back to LA, if I'm honest. 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
Love from New Mexico, USA !!! It is good to see your face in the USA. You are a Ukraine National Hero ! Stay Happy and Safe !
America ❤Taya!! Enjoy your stay, Taya!!
There is a reason its called the United States. We used to be only loosely connected in the beginning. We started as States before being united. Each state still retains its own character and is proud of its culture. The US is vast and contains many many cultures and diverse things and youll always be surprised by something you didnt expect. Down to interesting local nuances. Thats why its extremely interesting even for us who are citizens to travel to other states. Sometimes like traveling to another country.
I love your openness and information.
Hello Taya, Welcome to the USA 🇺🇸. Enjoy your life and God Bless!!
Taya, there are other places in the US that you could visit that you'll find not so expensive. So overall, affordable. I was just lucky to have relatives in California so I didn't pay for anything. They even let me see top tourist places for free. In your case, it's good to explore online first for good tips. I've traveled Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. I'm so budget-conscious so searching on the web helped. I love US, particularly Chicago.
I grew up visiting relatives in LA often, when I was a kid. It's crazy expensive, compared to anyplace else, except New York and the rest of the urban northeast. Almost all other states cost about 1/2 to 1/3 of what California does.
Nice video. Enjoy the trip. Happy to see you Taya😊
Wholly heck, Taya in USA! Didn't see that coming. Happy for ya Taya, you have said that you like to travel. Have fun and safe travels, looking forward to your next update.
Great to see you in the USA. I hope you are staying long enough to travel the country. The topography is beautifully varied as you go from state to state. Have a rewarding experience.
enjoy a sunny autumn :)
I'll just say hello from Saint Petersburg, FL. Have a good time here in the States, Taya!
Welcome to the USA. I'm not sure how long you're here but enjoy your visit. If you can, get out of California and see some of the other states as well, there are some fantastic sights to see in the western U.S.
Thanks for your insights! I look forward to more of your vlogs. I also pray for the people of Ukraine.
Embedded deep within the American psychology is a pre-disposition towards connecting with things that have had a historical impact on our culture. In your visit to SoCal you'll probably witness the abundance of vintage automobiles as a manifestation of this. @2:00, here in the U.S. we celebrate the saying - if it ain't broke don't fix it, and @3:03, nothing exemplifies this saying more than an old Speed Queen top-loading washer.
Glad you made it Taya! I'm very happy you are here! 🙂
Good to know that you are having a great time there!
always take care and be safe Taya! ❤❤❤
Have a great journey ❤❤❤
I wish you to have an amazing trip! 😀
Greetings from Sweden!
I spent my summer holidays in Ukraine this year and can understand the shock about prices in California. A friend from Kyiv relocated to Canada and even there it is much cheaper there she still was shocked and has now 3 jobs to feed her kids.
Sad😢
You should go to Michigan to visit Veronika Olson. Another beautiful Ukranian TH-camr
You are getting more beautiful, always take care in your travels❤❤
I was born in San Bernardino and grew up in California. The only thing that is best compared to the rest of the USA is the weather! It is sunny most of the year! I hope you get to visit many other states. Life is best outside of big cities.
Welcome Taya!! Looking forward to many more impression videos and travel reports! And of course you always have a friendly tour guide and host if you visit Washington DC :)
Welcome to America, Taya! I had family in several cities East of LA. I've visited LA quite a few times for Siggraph, vacations, and UCLA. It's is a very busy place! I hope you find everything you need and have a lovely time.
Looking forward to an update video! Take care and best wishes from central Illinois.
I am glad you are OK!
Welcome to my country and my state Taya ! :) I hope you enjoy your time here.
Welcome to the US. 💙💛
Great stories of your journey
Enjoy your travels! Hope you can make it to Arizona or Colorado, too.
Taya, Welcome to the madness! 😂 It looks like a Hollywood movie because the movies were often filmed right in that area. From a specific point in Beverly Hills, there is a "Thirty-Mile Zone" (a 30 mile, 48km, radius) which costs far less to make a film because Union rules increase the cost for their workers doing any work further away. As a result, you can recognize certain rock formations, and views after a while.
Thank you for your impressions, and welcome to USA! There is a lot of stuff in Los Angeles County there, including, I think, NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. I hope you are able to enjoy it.
I'm glad you like some of our prices here! Sorry about the sunflower oil. I use it, too.
I hope you are able to enjoy some of our national parks as well!
Yeah, paying for laundry sucks. My own condo's machines went up to almost double quite recently, though not $2.50 (yet).
Still, cost of living is different in different parts of the US. I live in Kentucky and enjoy a decent cost of living here.
If you are in Louisville, Kentucky on the weekend of the First Saturday in May, you can enjoy the Kentucky Derby horse race that Saturday, and the day before on Friday, the Oaks race for filles takes place.
In fact, our Jefferson County Public Schools had to make the Friday before Derby an in-service day (opportunity for continuing education for educators) because so many teachers used to take a vacation day then, and no substitute teachers could be reached.
Yay! you definitely must visit more states. stay strong 💪
Hello friend have been watching you since Ukraine Vlogs... glad to see you in the USA happy and calm... much love from Kenya 😊
Welcome to USA, also thank you for this video, and lastly you must know not every where in America is the same or cost the same love. It’s a very big country and with a lot of opportunities options variations and more
When I lived in LA I never used the building's washing machine because it would take me all day to get it done. Plus other people would jump in and use the machine so it was a mess. I used to go instead to a laundromat where I could use 10 machines at once and get it done in an hour or two. Also, LA is a big city and things change from one neighborhood to the next. Where you are is just typical of that section, but not of another. Some neighborhoods are newer and apartments offer central air, others are much older - maybe 100 years old, so you'll get ceiling fans and poor insulation instead. Enjoy your trip!
This was the first video I have watched of yours. Welcome to America! I have subscribed and plan to watch more of your videos.
Something tells me you visiting USA for long time .Enjoy your stay.
My first time in USA was a culture shock . Def more materialistic. Microwave, Remote control TV, VCR , Fast food ( Pizza Hut, burger king, McDonalds , Pepsi, lays chips, dorotitos, apple jack cereal ), dishwasher, Wireless home phone, real pro soccer ball hexagonal , remote control toy car, Personal Computer and many more
Yes, we *are* addicted to buying stuff. A real trash filled country...That is only *one* reason I like Ukraine *better* . but actually...did you try Apple Jack cereal? It was really good when I was a kid. McDonalds use to be better too. I would love to go to Ukraine someday🫶🇺🇦
Taya, California is a very expensive state. It also has more restrictive laws than any other state. You might want to visit Texas or Florida or Georgia. I hope you can visit those other states. I watch the Filipina Pea (from Philippines) and she also just visited the U.S. She went to the southern states, and she had nothing bad to say about any of the states she visited. Please don't judge the whole country by the worst state.
Rural areas of CA can be nice but are still expensive...
JFC, telling someone to move to TX or FL is like begging for them to be murdered. Oh, I guess she'll be safe because....
Florida is the worst state lmao
CA is just the 5th largest economy in the world with the most important and productive industries on the planet, technology, medicine, finance, transportation, agriculture, entertainment, etc. But, okay, we will just call it “the worst”.
Don’t listen to people disparage California. There is a reason it is the way it is. Most states in the US are great. Although, if you want a typical Ukrainian city experience, stick to big cities in the USA. If you want diversity and culture it is advisable to stay out of red states. Red states under fund their education and want to keep the population uneducated and ignorant.
I’m so happy for you, Taya. You should visit the south east. Florida, Louisiana, Georgia. Things are much cheaper and the food and people are awesome. ❤ you taya!
Love you Taya❤ be safe 🌷

Welcome to America! I spent a bunch of time growing up in Germany, so I really feel you about the car culture here. Americans are crazy loud with very little concern about their neighbors. You might be able to find better prices for food at farmers markets. I find it odd that you find things here feel old. America has only been around for 200 years or so, Europe has much older buildings. Granted, in the US we aren't maintaining anything, we just let if all apart and developers come in and build something new. Good luck on your latest adventure.
Heh, try going to a large Philippines city if you want a noisy environment...
Many US cities are devolving, so, that is a problem...
@@SpringIsBACK spent time in Bangkok were everyone is using their horn all the time. The US is devolving in general, thanks to not doing anything about supporting infrastructure, or you know a livable wage, or human rights, blaming it on just the cities is huge part of the problem as it's the nonurbanites who are leaning hard toward authoritarianism as long as they get to pick 'em.
@@SpringIsBACK
Try China. A phone conversation sounds like an intense argument from a block away.
I think she's just referring to outdated things we have here maybe not so much architecture
Good luck Taya.
Well done, what an adventure, enjoy, best of luck 🙂 NZ
I so glad you finally got to visit, congratulations 🎊 Taya!!!❤🎉
You’re channel is always a really lovely respite to keep up engagement with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters with a bit of fun and adventure. We all need that. Yes, California has a very high level of income disparity. Everything costs more, but every job pays more. It’s the kind of place where walking down one street can turn from dark alleyways into mansions and where old out of date buildings run into ultra modern ones just a mile away. It is very much a mixing pot of all cultures and therefore you get a mixed bag in every other way. The more you travel there, or live there the more diverse you realize it is. There just really isn’t a consistent set of rules, but yes it is extremely expensive for the most part. You did pick potentially the most beautiful state to visit. Although it’s landscapes vary widely if you’re looking for beauty? Personally I would say it’s the most scenic place in the country. It’s also quite vast so getting to the cool places can be kind of a long trip. It’s very cool to hear all your opinions and experiences. I know there are alot of Ukrainians who live in the US, but I rarely get to hear what they think. I hope you share more of your trip.
Welcome! And thanks for your impressions. I think you should check out thrift shops. Used clothing (and gadgets) are a popular feature of American culture.
Enjoy the warm weather. The rest of us are getting ready for winter!
Take care of yourself Taya 💜
Welcome to California, I hope people treat you well, I like to think we are good about that here. Things differ quite a bit from neighborhood to neighborhood but I've never seen an apartment or house here in SoCal without AC, so not having it is really strange. I hope your soldiers are victorious soon.
Welcome to America Taya, every state is unique, with good and bad people so be careful and stay safe, enjoy as much Mexican food as possible and you might never want to go home
Great to see you here. Come to Tennessee, see Disney Orlando Florida for new years. God bless
Welcome to the US! Thank you for sharing! Your English is very good.
Welcome to USA Taya ! I wish you would get a part on a tv sit com ( situation comedy ) . You're pretty , you're funny ( especially sarcasm ) : ) and you can sing .
Take a walk on the beach or out on a pier or sit on a cliff and just watch and listen to the waves crashing in ( that's free ). It will wash any blues away , even if it's temporary. You should take a little drive down to Laguna Beach 🌴, you can walk that town . Also going up to Santa Barbara would be fun .
Are any other states on your travel itinerary ? May be a trip to the Big Apple ( NYC ) . None of those places are cheap , but you only live once . Safe travels and may the road be kind . I hope you get to realize one of your dreams 🎶 You would be a good investment . ❤
Are the rude opinionated russian born taxi drivers still a feature of New York? Things change in twenty years. Thirty actually.
The quality of life is better in Ukraine than in California.
I think Psycho-fanatic Gruesome Newsom, lost in delusions, aspires for _Fourth-World_ category ranking.
Not right now!!! She's lucky to be here.
One you can see that background in a lot of places in the US. Love that you finally made it here enjoy your visit.
I'm glad you like California and wish you all the best.
💙💛 I am from upstate NY with nice views on mountains on the Hudson River. In New York City there is an area called Brighton Beach in Brooklyn and the majority of the people there speak Russian. If you look slavic you will likely at some point just have someone speaking Russian to you. Might be an interesting video!
People of upstate new york are far better to know and live among than in the city of New York.
Happy Diwali To All INDIANs 🇮🇳
Вас тоже много поздравлений
Welcome to the USA! We are glad you are here!
Welcome to my country;) my cousin is in la right now
Girl, didn’t anyone tell you California was insanely expensive? Try Florida if you like warm weather. And as long as you’re north of palm beach county things are less expensive and every apartment has air conditioning. There is no place in Florida that doesn’t have air conditioning. And you can visit places like Disney World, Universal studios, etc.
Florida? I wouldn't encourage any Ukrainian to move to Florida, where right-wingers don't want the U.S. to help Ukraine fight against RuZFed. NYC is the capital of Ukrainian-American culture. There is even a town in Ukraine, named after New York. TRUE! ....Although there are many Russians in NYC as well, Russians LOVE Florida.... Especially Sunny Isles. -"Little Moscow". Please don't encourage her to go where she will be dis-respected.
Yeah and the hurricanes are totally overhyped but just be careful of the crazy Florida Man living in the back woods 🤣
she seriously said Cali gas was cheap...LOLOOLOLLLOOLOOOLOLOL.
Insanely expensive but can also be lucrative. I know of waitresses making $400 - $600 a night in tips plus $19 an hour minimum wage. Take that money back to Ukraine and you're suddenly a wealthy person.
FL, where you're likely to get shot by some right wing lunatic with a gun.
You're not in America. You are in California. It is very different.
Welcome to America :) I hope you enjoy your visit!
My friend enjoy your stay and enjoy the moment while you are here. This is the land of the free and you have the freedom that you can really enjoy.
Taya,
Please be careful. I have not been in Hollywood for a long time, but I know it is a high crime area. I once met someone who lived there, and he said his car was broken into four times ! I have lived in at least six places in the US during my 60 plus year life and never had my car broken into. The reason why you see so many old buildings without up to date facilities including laundries, is that owners do not want to invest their money in such a poor area. The people you are meeting are also most likely poorer and do not use modern technology as most do now,
Hollywood is not representative of the US at all.
Best wishes !
Welcome Taya! enjoy your time in U.S.A. southern California 🇺🇲 🇺🇲 🇺🇦 💙 💛
Thank you Beautiful young lady for sharing this. Have a great time! 🇺🇸 💙 💛 🇺🇦
Hoorah!! Taya in L.A. Welcome Taya.
Beyond first impressions... lots of different and unique neighborhoods.
Get out and explore. Try the metro train. Come to Claremont for lunch :-)) my treat.
I have some information for you. (Or good news) Where you picked is not average. Even Northern California is a lot different than southern CA. There are also rich or poor areas everywhere. Now remember that the United states are 50 different states. You will also see changes with each state. Not everything looks the same everywhere. Even the people are very different as you move around the country. I lived in the bay area in Northern California for many years and every apartmentment I lived in was neat and clean as well as modern. My places all had its own washer and dryer. the complex has a pool, hot-tub, work out room, underground parking. I lived in safe locked gated communities. Close access to movie theaters, gas stations, grocery stores (Big ones with great and fresh selection) All kinds of different restaurants, Nice parks, great friendly people. Fast internet and good cable tv. Outdoor patio of deck where you could BBQ. I loved everything. Sorry for you that you saw that dirty little area first. I wish you the best here and hope you find a better place. High crime also tends to go with dirty or cheap areas. I would move north to the Bay Area.
Welcome to America. Unfortunately you’re in the worst state of the U.S. I hope you get to experience many different states while here
She needs to wear boots and be leery of encampments.
welcome to the USA, taya. you are in a huge country. that part of CA does not represent what most of this country is like. hope you find a way to learn to drive. get a cheap used car or a van and just go roaming. there are many wonders to discover, and friendly people will help you if you ask. small towns are better. big cities are for entertainment; not to live in. would enjoy meeting you if you make it to the east. best wishes to you, and happy traveling!
i love TAYA !
Welcome to California. I'm in Fresno about 4 hours north of you by car. I'm glad you are here and safe.
