Back in California

I've been MIA recently because of my return to California.  Being away from American food for too long started taking a toll on my tummy.  Who would've thought I'd seriously be craving this stuff?  Mexican food, soul food, IN-N-OUT, fusion cuisines, etc.

It still been a bit of a reverse culture shock since I've landed on US soil.  Several things that I didn't realize while I was living here for almost my entire life,

• There are a lot of fat Americans.  As soon as I arrived at the airport I couldn't believe how many fat people I've seen since then.  I bet many many women out here would look so much more attractive if they actually maintained a healthy weight along with their complexion.
• Public infrastructure and transportation is lacking.  I really don't understand why California doesn't have better public transportation services.  The bay area has the BART and Caltrain but that's about it.  What about the rest of California?
• Diversity.  America really is a diverse country and I like to see people of all shades of color hanging out together having a jolly ol' time.
• There really is a noticeable imbalance of White male/Asian female couples.  I didn't know it was this bad, but it really is everywhere I go in San Francisco.  However, I'm not as upset as I thought I'd be since every couple I saw appeared like they were meant for each other. In other words, she ain't hot.
• No alcohol after 1:30am.   This is just pure bullshit.  No explanation needed.
• America is unsafe relative to other countries.  America can be a dangerous place; not all of the US of course, but its up there when you compare metropolitan areas pound for pound.  My friend's neighbor got stabbed to death by a homeless woman just last month.  Christ!
• People aren't in such a hurry.  Work, errands, meeting up people, etc.  Let's just chill and take our time.

If I come up with any others I'll add it to the list.
