mr toodly Posted April 23, 2005 Benzito:So, I will never be in LA. You can bet they will never get a tourism dollar from me, if I have to give them fingerprints. It's a shithole for the most part, anyway. Expensive--probably more so for you Aussies. Polluted. Horrible public transit system. There are exceptions. Los Angeles is centrally located. Whilst intra-city transit is really dismal, inter-city travel is not so bad. One can take a train to San Diego for about $4 USD. The AMTRAK Surfline also heads to San Diego along the coast. This is pleasant if one has a seat in business class. Comparable to Rail Italia on a bad day. Northbound, one can reach San Francisco in half an hour by plane. I do not know how much this costs. It's worth it, though. Visit SF if you ever have the opportunity to come to the US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
