How would you describe life in California?

Has it been complicated to settle down, to find a job, and an accomodation?

Is it complicated to make friends in California?

Living in California has its advantages. I know this will come as a surprise to my family and friends whose first response when they heard I was moving here was, Why would you want to live in a place thats going to have an earthquake and fall into the ocean any day now? Of course the next thing they said was, Oh good, now that I have a free place to stay I can change my plans and go to California for two weeks instead of Cancun, which tells you a lot about how they weigh fear vs. saving a buck. Not to mention what kind of family and friends I have.

That's funny! They've been saying we were going to fall into the ocean since I was in kindergarten. Well, we Californians are still here. Come on out!
