In LA you better ask people if they have been arrested before or if they have kids. It’s not unusual that people in my age have kids or have been to jail/arrested. Also, a LOT of people smoke weed. In California, it’s legal to go to a doctor, say you have headaches or back problems and he’ll give you a license that allows you to consume marihuana.
However, you are not allowed drink in public. This means you can’t walk around with open bottles, cans or whatever that contain alcohol. In Germany, nobody cares. Here, you’ll have to pay a couple hundred dollars when they catch you.
Despite the patrolling police and the ghettobirds that circle above my neighborhood, I am more scared here. In LA more bad things happen and if you are at the wrong place at a wrong time you can get shot… There are a lot of crazy people out here…
Sure thing, I do miss my family and my friends. People that I have known for years, people that I can trust 100% and people I can be myself with. I miss their hugs and talking with them. I miss my parents and my cat that I’ve had for 14 years.
I also miss the food in Germany. Bread, Apfelschorle, fresh fruit and veggies, Schnitzel, Wurst, cheese, my parents cooking,…
I miss going outside and walking around barefoot without stepping into trash, dust or other nasty things and not having black feet after a day of walking in the city. Just a clean environment. In LA it smells, it’s dirty and smoggy. And there are not that many trees, parks or meadows here.
Clearly, my life was more luxurious in Germany. I had a bigger room, didn’t have to look at bills and watch every cent I am spending. I could have had a car and a bigger room… But I rather live poor and happy in LA than wealthy and unhappy in Germany.
