   The scale of LA is pretty intimidating. But I love big cities. I usually love them a little more dense and less sprawly, and with fewer automobiles. But I love the things I love about LA enough to be okay with that.

   I love the diversity and the weather and the people. I love that for things I love a lot, food and film photography, LA is a haven. (I signed up to learn how to shoot motion picture film, with some local film folks)

   The immigrant food is a whole other level. The documentary ‘City of Gold’ featuring LA’s famed food writer Jonathan Gold, and my Mexican American friend L’s relentless evangelism of the LA immigrant food scene, and my friend Q’s tutelage of the southeast Asian bits of LA, gave me a crash course.

   If I can’t leave this country for a while, I am perfectly happy just coming to LA regularly.

   I love this city so much.

     If I were to live in LA I would most certainly live in Alhambra or Monterey Park. It just suits my temperament (and palate). Also easy access to East LA for great Mexican food. That entire geographical area is the most perfect on the west coast for me, much more than the Bay Area.

     @andreimoment on the west side I really love Muma Kitchen. Exceptional Turkish spot with homemade baklava. The kebabs are very good

     I’m on the west side but these deserve a day trip.
