So, first let me say, pictures to come, so hold your horses. :) Here are some things to know about CA...
The apartment is great. There is lots of room and one extra bedroom that is currently designated as the storage closet. Basically, if there was a box we didn't quite know what to do with went in that room. Apparently, we had a ton of boxes that we weren't quite sure what to do with...oy. Also, just about ALL of the electric, phone and cable outlets (outlet, singular, in the phone and cable instances) are in the most inconvenient places. We have cables going every which way just to be hooked up - it's ridiculous.
Ah yes...the parking spaces. Only 1 designated parking "space" came with a 2 bedroom apartment. Luckily, there was another "space" that we could rent not too far away. Ok, so these "spaces" are under the building and all have poles separating each space. Our 2 spaces are also right next to walls. These "spaces" are just barely large enough to fit a standard sedan. We have to pull in, back out, turn, and pull in again just to get in each space.
We are right next to a grocery store so that's really convenient. We even walked over to get our groceries. The grocery store is VONS which is just a fancy California word for Safeway. They have all the safeway products and my safeway card even works there.
Everyone, except for the drivers who think that lanes are arbitrary, is strangely nice here. Very talkative and friendly folk everywhere, so that's nice.
Half of our channels are spanish. Seriously. Also, everything is on an hour later and it's really hard to stay up late to watch our good shows. Then, everything on in morning is infomercials - like on 15 channels. Any product you could ever want to buy is being hocked on nearly every channel in LA on Saturday mornings.
