[kj] the beast of LA

[Karen Weil]

Folk Devil makes an excellent point about L.A. and crime.
(Sorry about your mugging, Folk. Having been the victim of a similar crime in my home town, I can relate, sadly.)

  Stephen, what you are going to find is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. 
  There is a lot for you to see and do here, take your pick..clubs, beaches, mountains, plastic people, religious pilgrimages?..it can be disappointing musically, a bit of a backwater.
  Just like any other city, you are going to know whether being in a certain place is a good or bad idea, just keep your radar on. Yes, I have had a gun pulled on me here, but I have also been mugged in Berlin, a city with one of the lowest crime rates in Europe. I experienced guns in the UK and Netherlands too. I would rather walk in downtown LA than many parts of (North) East London ;)
  Enjoy :)

  hmm it's the relatively word that raises questions 
  possibly more dangerous to a tourist than a local hmmm?

  thanks for tip 
  a mule trek was considered but i don't know how i would manage my luggage so i'm taking a raincheck and sticking with the comfortable option 
  even considered a helicopter flight 
  have to decide when i get nearer to it 
  L A looks daunting just by the shear size of it 
  learnt to avoid wilshire district 
  pity sounds like a great club there

  Don't go to the GC from late November/early December..unless you are really a hardcore hiker. Much of it will possibly be closed to the public , too.

  I'd not recommend you to circumnavigate Sicily by pedalo, Darren. Unless your pedalo is provided by James Bond, and you are armed to the teeth.

    Fuck me, Stephen. You’re a cheery fellow today.

    But I agree with you. Life’s too precious to waste. Tomorrow, for example, I shall be scaling the Polish Line of K2, followed by all igator wrestling in Florida. Friday I’m unicycling to the Meteora monastery, and then circumnavigating Sicily by pedalo.

    Saturday and Sunday I think I’ll have a bit of a rest, as next week is quite busy.

    well life has no guarantees 
    you or i could be knocked down by a vehicle crossing the road 
    or drunken idiot mounting the pavement 
    car crah whilst in friend's car 
    electrical accident at home 
    fire caused by neighbour 
    or left a parplegic by any one of those scenarios 
    or as you say struck down by some disease 
    all you can do is try your best and enjoy life every second you have and be grateful for another day
