Getting Around

Before I came to LA, my friend had already told me that what a terrible public transportation was. At that time, I could not believe that. In my opinion, the US is a developed country, off course, it must be has a develop public transportation. When I arrived at LA and lived in Fullerton,  I was shocked because of the bad public transportation. I cannot go anywhere without a car. That was like I do not have legs. It is sad. Thank goodness, my husband and I owned a car. Although our car is an old one, we can drive the car to everywhere which we want to go. I am luckier than my husband. He came here eailier than me, and he did not buy the car when he just arrived here. At that time, he also had no friends, so he spent 2 hours  from his house to Fullerton DMV by bike in the sunny summer. When he arrived at DMV, his clothes got wet because of his sweat. He used to go to 99 Ranch Market in Anaheim for 5 hours by bus. Therefore, I was confused sometimes why there is such a bad public transportation in LA?

In my hometown, I am pride of the public transpotation. At lease, I can go anywhere without driving a car. There are many public buses, light railways, taixes. I dont worry about wether I can go back home any time. That is very convenient.

On the other side, I should say "thank you" to LA because I learn how to drive. If I lived in China, I wont study to drive. At the beginning of learning to drive, I hate it because both my husband and I  usually quarrel with each other.Thus, I give other friends who cannot drive a suggestion: you must hire a coach to learn to drive. My husband taught me how to drive, that's why we quarrelled at that time. Don't learn from your close person. That is not a clever idea. Now, I love to drive because I dont need to request my husband to take me outside if I want to go shopping or other places which I want to go. I can say goodbye to him and drive the car directly.
