L.A.'s public transit is crap. It is sparse and infrequent. In theory you COULD live there without a car, but it would be very inconvenient for most people.

Man, the nightlife must really suck there if people have nothing better to do at 3am than hang out at gas stations. lololol.

Well obviously a city with a far larger population is going to have more immigrants. That's a stupid comparison. That's like saying Canada on the whole is more "international" because Canada has more immigrants than L.A.

That is why we use percentages. To account for the differences in population. I can't believe I'm having to explain this to you.

I lived in Toronto for quite a few years, and while its a perfectly "nice" city it is not a major party destination. See those of us with stamps in our passports (or passports at all) know that you have to leave North America to actually find a suitable city to party in.

Like I said you are on city data at 2-3am and I was just rolling home at 5, which was early here in Berlin. Stop trying to play off Toronto as some second coming of Rio during Carnival, it is a bore, bottom line. A bore with a 2am last call at that.

Pretty much every major city in the us has an el/subway system now. But as far as LA area goes, can you catch a train from Compton to Hollywood? That would be interesting.

get on the blue line, switch to red line at metro center.

but LA does have bad public transport right now, no denying that. needs another 20 yrs at least i think. LA metro rail will never be comparable to the NYC subway, but it will be the second largest in the country (daily ridership) at some point in the future, within 10 years if the 30/10 plan is actually approved.

So because I wasn't out partying last night means Toronto isn't a great party city? LOLOL @ your logic.

And you are lying when I said I was trying to play Toronto off as something else. What I said is that there are lots of parties that go until 5am or later.

And for the record I've been to Britain, Scotland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, and Belgium. So don't try to imply I'm not well-travelled, because you'd be lying.

depends man, theres different pricing tiers for ladyboys doing the P4P thing. if you pick one up in a bar in nana plaza or something it will be more expensive, if you pick one up from outside, just walking down sukhumvit or something, it will be significantly less expensive.

just be sure not to drink at all and stay in a hotel with safe in room, ladyboys are not to be trusted bro. they will rip you off if given the chance.
