Hello.
I am a 20-something female who is planning to go to Los Angeles for two weeks alone to see the sights and dance. Hollywood.
I can barely speak English, but is it dangerous to take buses and trains alone ？
Also, I am thinking of taking an Uber back to my lodgings at night after dancing, is Uber safe?
I would appreciate it if you could tell me what to watch out for.

Thank you so much for being so polite ！ ！ I'm really glad. Noho is dangerous, isn't it? I didn't know that. I think I will change my lodging to Glendale. I will look for a spray that has a practice one on it I will take lots of precautions and hopefully nothing will happen to me.

I will try to make friends as soon as I can.

Not everyone who rides the train buses has bear spray or anything
It's just luck.

No
Tourists are easy targets, and the security in LA has deteriorated even further since Corona. Even the locals are becoming more and more cautious, and it seems suicidal for Asians to take the bus.

I plan to go to Millennium Dance Complex, a dance studio, to meet my favorite dancers and participate in dance battles ！ So I wanted to be near North Hollywood station and Valley Village, but
it's pretty dangerous.

NH-DWT has a lot of tourists who go to Univa
I don't hear much about train and bus crimes in the news
I don't know about the bus stops with homeless people sleeping there, but if it's not too late, it'll be fine.
don't worry
just wonder about NH itself ～ ？

Thank you ！
I see. It might be more dangerous outside than you think. Universal is close too ！
I've decided not to stay at noho,
I'm thinking of staying around glendale or ucla.

In NH or anywhere else
you can take a train or bus
when it's light
and an Uber
when it's dark
the closer you get to the city center, the more expensive the accommodation is there used to be cheap accommodation in Little Tokyo, but I wonder how it is now?
Well, it's all luck and I can't say 100%, but if you ask me, it's the same in Japan.

I ride buses day and night every day and everything is fine.
Don't overreact.

You can go to a dance battle right from Japan ？
The level is high here, unlike Japan ！.

Is it safe while waiting for Uber outside after dark, sorry for asking so many questions ！.

I don't have any problem as long as I take care of myself.
It would be a waste if you sacrifice what you want to do by worrying about such things.
I think it's safer than downtown.

Is this your first time in LA? ､ People here have dark faces, so I don't usually see people wearing heavy make-up.

I have lived here for a long time, but I can easily recognize Japanese tourists by their clothes.　Be careful.

（ It's a little different than it was about 3 years ago ） and since you write
I think I can find a record of your entry into the US.

I heard that immigration inspectors can easily check your past travel history when they check your immigration status, so
the first barrier is to enter the country safely.

I see that ！ I'm told that as long as I'm careful everywhere, I'll be safe, so I'll try not to get distracted, but I'll enjoy myself ！
This is my first time in LA ！ and my first time entering the US

Thank you very much.
Then I will bring casual clothes like jeans. I had an image of heavy makeup, but I see ！
I will be careful not to wear too much makeup.

！ I am new to LA
I am also new to the US You wrote in #15 that it is a little different than it was about 3 years ago
What is the difference compared to 3 years ago?

I have been here before, so it must be a little different from 3 years ago.

Glendale
Noho is more dangerous than North Hollywood or something. I didn't know that. I think I will change my lodging to Glendale.
First time visitors are more familiar with Glendale than North Hollywood, etc.

I've lived in the US longer than I've lived in Japan, but
North Hollywood doesn't ring a bell.

The dance place is in Studio City ？ not Hollywood.
Then it would be nice to stay nearby.
NoHo is also putting a lot of effort into Arts District and such, so maybe the environment is getting better.
I'd take the train or bus while it's still light, and Uber the rest of the way.
But you might make friends soon and they might give you a ride.
Train and buses use Tap Card, like Pasmo in Japan.
Some buses don't accept cash these days.

I just wanted to say that it was around 3 years ago and it is good that it was before Corona ！ I wanted to say that it is different before Corona and after Corona.
I do a lot of research every day, so I knew about Glendale ！


The dance studio is in Studio City ！
Maybe so, but since I was told here that noho is not safe, I am not sure if I should stay there. I'm very confused if I should stay there or not.

＃ I wanted to say that just around 3 years ago is a good thing, pre-corona ！
I wanted to say that pre-corona and post-corona are different.

What is the difference between before and after Corona ？ Corona is not over yet.
As long as the Corona procedures for traveling abroad are well cleared up
the procedures for foreigners to travel to the US will not change.
