Blogging Social Difference in L.A.: Week 1

Hello world,

It's been great getting to know you better.

Yours truly,
From Los Angeles.

Moving to Los Angeles has definitely allow me to encounter more diverse interactions with people on a daily basis, expanded my stomach to try out new culinary cuisines, opened my eyes to architectural detail and eclectic fashions, as well as other wonders that I'm still exploring!

I am an explorer at heart and consider myself a tourist in my own city. I like to take photos of all the places that I have been so I can reflect back on my adventures later. I am currently enrolled in a geography class that encourages me to blog my experiences in different parts of Los Angeles. I'm excited to be a part of this movement to learn more about the city and the people within it.

It's apparent that the social differences in Los Angeles are vast and can be observed throughout different parts of the city. One can drive two blocks down the road and notice a huge disparity between the people there in contrast with those two blocks before. Wilshire Blvd, one of the major roads in Los Angeles, is a prime example of this. I often like to take Wilshire when heading somewhere as it is just one long, straight road. The long stretch of pavement actually spans across several different parts of the city. In less than a 20 minute drive, I am able to go from admiring the row of luxury shops at Beverly Hill and cafes with macarons selling at $3 a piece to developing a craving for mass amounts of all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ for as low as $9.99 at Koreantown. It's true, you really can find all sorts of things here.

I plan to document my future trips within the city on blogger, and provide insight into its social differences using written word and photography. Looking forward to an interesting next few months!
