The Freedom of Los Angeles

one.

before landing, I always thought that Los Angeles must be an incredibly prosperous modern city. As a result, it completely subverted my imagination.

first of all, I'd like to introduce a man named Mr. TC, a fashion buyer who lives in Thailand. I thought he was just a handsome Internet celebrity, but without a few words, I knew the gap between us.

in the past two days, he has almost been giving me some knowledge of Native American culture.

because I think it's so interesting, I'd like to use today's tweet to talk about what I saw in Los Angeles.

on the way to the city center, Mr. TC repeatedly warned: "there will be a lot of homeless people there, no matter what they tell you, ignore them, and never give them money."

when we asked why, he said, "because in the United States, they become homeless because they don't want to work hard, and the closer they are to the center of a big city, the more homeless they are."

I disagreed at that time and thought to myself, "how can it be such an exaggeration? aren't there tramps all over the world?"

when we got to a street in the city center, we saw many tents made of clothes and nylon cloth by the side of the road before we got off the bus. There are still several black people wandering in the street, wearing ball pants and AJ, some with headphones, most of them with hoodies and jackets.

another thing is that the hem of the innermost T-shirt must be exposed.

I asked a rude question: "are these all homeless people?"

TC smiled and then said, "I'm afraid it'll scare you. You haven't seen a 'normal person' since you just turned right in."

I'm surprised, because I can't figure out why there are so many homeless people in a street, and as soon as you get out of the car, you can smell a very strong smell of rotten eggs, even though there is no rubbish in the street.

it was already two o'clock in the morning when I wrote the manuscript, but I still can't forget the smell in the morning.

I asked, "doesn't anyone care about them?"

"in the United States, homeless people also have human rights, and the police basically don't care if they don't interfere in other people's lives. Moreover, it is up to them to decide not to be homeless, and no one can interfere with their choices, let alone 'control'. "

after listening to this answer, I have only two words left in my head: shame.

two.

because the moment I said the word "tube", I had prejudice in my heart.

I don't think "tramps" is good, so we should take care of them.

but in fact, no matter how much people here don't like homeless people, they won't stop each other from choosing this way of life.

maybe this is the root of "freedom".

but don't think too much of "freedom". It will also bring some bad things. The dirty and smelly streets are of course the most direct impact, but what is more serious is the security problem in this area. The airbnb we ordered is nearly an hour's drive from the city center, because most of the middle class or the rich don't live in the city center.

and our landlord reminded us on the first night: "when you get to the city center, you must travel together. If it is at night, I strongly suggest you stay in the house."

We were still in the clouds at the time, but when we actually entered the city center of LA, I found that the landlord was right.

because of "freedom", the railways here are all private, and their delay rate is from four hours to one day.

because of "freedom", there are often traffic jams on highways in Los Angeles. Apart from the fact that traffic is one of the reasons, people vote to devote resources to welfare rather than road construction.

Choose a delightful red short dress formal with a small budget! Here are best discounts and choices!

also because of "freedom", everyone can carry guns, and gunfights often take place in Mexico City in the center of the city.

so for the sake of spiritual "freedom", Americans have to make some sacrifices.

but I still appreciate this "freedom", because of it, all kinds of culture and art can find space to breathe and breed.

like Los Angeles, it is most famous for street graffiti.

wherever you go, graffiti can be seen everywhere, and most importantly, they are very beautiful. It seems that all the walls and streets have become graffiti artists' paper, and they can express whatever they want to express freely. At the same time, they did not waste this freedom, turning "every wall" in the city into their "every work".

three.

by the way, there is one more thing that touches me.

because June is gay pride month, the streets of Los Angeles are full of "rainbow" elements. And these rainbows are restrained, and writers will not put slogans related to "comrades" directly in front of you in order to express their views, telling you that you must join their lineup and support comrades.

they will only quietly change the details of their work and then tell you, "I am their supporter."

it's as if there is an Internet celebrity wall that was originally painted "pink", but because it was June, it was painted the color of a rainbow.

and the "rainbow" here is not the seven-color rainbow we often think. Apart from the original pink of this wall, you will find that it has only six colors, meaning "comrade".

and at the corner of a street, I photographed a poster of small white shoes shouting "TIED WITH PRIDE" and three colored stools in front of a coffee shop.

so, even though I'm not quiteI like the obvious class division under extreme freedom, but I still sincerely appreciate this freedom.

because of the difference between people, it originally comes from the difference of choice. And choice, there is no distinction between right and wrong.

everyone understands the truth, but it is a bit difficult to do it together.

in the next few days, I will still try to understand their culture and write more about what I have seen and heard in the United States. This may be the only "benefit" I can give you on this trip.

good night, thank you.

then there are two things:

the publisher of this event

Youfan's idea is to "be an artist of life". When we first met, I joked that their furniture was very expensive. The other party immediately asked me how much I earn every month and how big the house I rent now. After telling me the truth, they recommended several other brands to me and told me: "it doesn't matter if you don't buy ours, but life is your own, furniture is the soul of the family, and you can't lose it."

it can be seen that they are so dedicated to furniture that there are fewer and fewer serious brands, so you can pay attention to them.

exclusive Travel Planning

the itinerary of the American Western Life Expedition was all planned by horse-playing travel. I felt for the first time what a "customized trip" was, from itinerary to accommodation. On the first day I arrived in Los Angeles, I almost couldn't pass because I lost my wallet. Thanks to their help, I was able to complete my graduation trip.
