Baby steps: Life in USC, Los Angeles

#LifeinLA

-The West coast of the US is generally very casual. Shorts and Tees are the norm. You will understand that when you're here, so lease carry some shorts. 

- Safety is very relative. From what I see the American standards of safety and that of our own are very different. More so I've not heard of an Indian getting mugged ever. (May be because those mugging know we aren't worth. There are like 3 police forces: LAPD, Highway Patrol and USC Private Security. Duh!

- A great pair of polaroid sunglasses, invest your rupees & you will save quite a few $.

- A car would be awesome but not needed, a zip car would be great. LA is a car-city; Every Tom, Dick and Ramamurthy has a car here.

- A telephone is like basic necessity. I think you should reach drop bags, open bank account and get a connection if possible on the same day! Could be the best thing ever!
