Los Angeles: Top 7 Traveler Disappointments

Often the impression of the trip is spoiled by the heightened expectations. So that you do not imagine yourself too much, "ZagraNitsa" collected some of the biggest disappointments of travelers.

1. LUXURY AND GLAMOR

Thanks to hundreds and thousands of Hollywood films that we watched in cinemas and from our cozy sofas, we expect chic, glamor, glamor and luxury from Los Angeles. And we find ourselves in the usual, sometimes dirty, built-up city, in which, as elsewhere, there are homeless on the streets, and traffic jams on the roads.

2. “ALLEY OF STARS”

One of the business cards of Los Angeles - “Avenue of Stars” - is also unlikely to take you more than half an hour.

The stars there in places are dirty or cracked, tightly surrounded by homeless people, pretentious street performers or the ubiquitous souvenir shops. And there are about 2500 there, so you risk to feel like an ignoramus, because you hardly even know half of the names on

of them.

Olga, a student: “As soon as I arrived in LA, I was met with a terrible heat, but it was in November! But endless palm trees, wonderful nature and friendly people, ready to help, brightened the first impression. But Hollywood Boulevard with the “Avenue of Stars” disappointed. A huge number of people, the boulevard itself is narrow and there is absolutely nowhere to step on. ”

3. Midnight fun

At first, everything seems to be going well, the music rumbles, drowning out all the surrounding sounds, the bartender constantly mixes up another cocktail ...

But after a couple of hours after midnight, the guests are beginning to slowly creep into their homes, clubs and bars are closing, and lovers of carousing all night long with annoyance shrug their shoulders.

Yuri, student, waiter:

“In LA itself, alcohol after two is not sold anywhere. Many discos are closed at this time. ”

4. TEMPERATURE

Surely you have already heard that California is warm all year round. But can you imagine the scale of this “warmth”? In our usual sense, this is + 20-25 ˚C, whereas the average Los Angeles summer temperature is + 32˚C. And on other days, the thermometer rises to + 37˚C.

5. PUBLIC TRANSPORT

A lot has already been said and written about LA public transport, but, nevertheless, many tourists still continue to be held captive by illusions about him. Los Angeles, with all its districts, suburbs and beach towns, occupies a vast territory, the subway runs only through its central parts, and the rest of the places, for lack of a car, have to be reached by buses. The latter are rare and irregular. A special pleasure is to wait for such a bus for 40 minutes in the heat, and then get stuck in traffic.

6. CELEBRITIES
In a city where so many films and TV shows are produced annually, celebrities are simply obliged to meet on your way at least once a day. It seems so to most tourists. But the locals know that all volumes of cruises and rihanns just do not pace the streets. No, it’s quite realistic to meet them, but you definitely shouldn’t go to one of the many tours around the homes of celebrities, which in fact will most likely be a waste of a few hours of your time.

Olga, student:
“Celebrities are closer than they seem. You can go to a simple supermarket and meet, say, Britney Spears or Adam Levin. ”
Yuri, student, waiter:
“Celebrities can be found, but only in certain places. Where they dine or dine, the queue on the street is built unreal. "
7. CITY OF OPPORTUNITIES
It would seem that a big city is a great opportunity. But implementing them is not so easy. It takes a lot of hard work, making acquaintances and constantly making someone worthy of competition. Especially hard in Los Angeles at first: not everyone is lucky to quickly find a job.

Yuri, student, waiter:
“I lived in Los Angeles for about seven months, then moved. Expecting the best. In LA, people are divided into two classes: rich and poor (Mexicans, mostly). There are a lot of the last ones, they work cheaply, so it’s hard to find a job. ”
Despite all of the above, Los Angeles knows how to surprise: golden beaches and numerous volleyball courts, cyclists on the roads and people leading a healthy lifestyle, movie studios punching films one after another, and amusement parks, where the fun does not subside all year round.
