Used to live in Rostov-na-Donu, now live in LA. Rostov was a nice, small town, everything was very slow-paced, cops literally could not care less what you do, pissed in a park after getting fucked up and got away with it, something you can't get away with in Los Angeles. Hot during the summer, cold, but not as cold as some places, during the winter.
LA is pretty much awesome, you can get up and go meet Odd Future whenever you want, and then go around the rest of Fairfax where a lot of the first streetwear stores were made (get some Diamond Supply gear and meet the guy who made Diamond in his Ferrari). Other than that, you've got Disneyland 30 min away, the beach 20 min away, In-n-Out, Fatburger, bronies everywhere, dispensaries everywhere, and a overall chill attitude. Even the cops (at least most of them) are pretty chill. Except for the LAPD-sponsored quota-matching pig-patrols. Those guys can ruin your day. Tickets for anything in California are fucking ridiculous. $300 for going 5 miles over the speed limit. It's because they will literally tack any expense, no matter how ridiculous, on your ticket, because they're desperate for money. The best place to chill would be the Hollywood mountains, and every now and then there's a food truck convention, which is p much the best thing ever. LGBTQ+ friendly, liberal mindset everywhere, but still has a surprisingly large and stalwart Republican base (it's the creator of Reagan and Nixon, after all).
