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.

> North Hollywood is famous for being a bad place. There are many drugs and crimes.


People who don't know anything are making misguided statements.

North Hollywood is literally north across the low mountains and is a completely different town in character from Hollywood and has nowhere near the downtown area that Hollywood has. Rather, Universal Studio, Warner Bros. Studio, and NBC Studio are located east of 170, and the well-paid employees of these TV ・ film companies have their homes on the low mountain to the west of 170.

My grandson attended a middle school in the middle of NH because of his mother's work, and the students he saw at school festivals seemed to come from good families.

The students may look like they come from good families, but if they don't have what it takes on the inside, you can't tell if they come from good families.

I'm going next week ! lol
I've already taken a round trip flight from Japan.

Thank you for your comment, Baikinman.
I see. I read that on the internet as well, so I am glad to know it is true ! So you have a school too.

Thanks for the crime map, Ossan.
It is really informative. I'm going to look at this and move on.

michiu,

> You also have schools.

Basically, here in LA, there are public elementary, middle and high schools everywhere.

Does michiu go to school somewhere? You can go to any private language school if you can afford it. I am sure you have already done your research on this.

If you are entering the country as a tourist but going to school, you get the documents and return to your country to apply for a student visa.

November 18 was the day a Japanese tourist was shot in downtown Los Angeles ・
from a hotel beating, a parking lot shooting and a tragic hero
his mistress was missing in Los Angeles and found dead in white bones
and he made the Japanese press with his alleged person.
Forty-one years have passed since then, but it will always be remembered

Millennium Dance Complex seems to have moved from NH to Studio City a while ago.
Pepper spray is also available at Big5 ( sporting goods store ).

Since many strange women traveling alone are often caught by immigration officials, it is better to keep your clothes and makeup as modest as possible to avoid being noticed. The same applies when using the metro or bus.

Uber has become harder to use since the pandemic, with fewer drivers, a lot of waiting and hanging around.
I think you should also register for Lyft. It's similar, but I'd rather have a little extra.

Uber eats was busy because restaurants were not allowed to eat or drink in the restaurant and only take out
people were ordering, but
since they started allowing eating and drinking in the restaurant, it seems that the number of people ordering has been decreasing.

Uber Eats is just the same, and priority is given based on whether or not they have ever tipped, if it is a rich area, if the customer reviews are high, etc.
Priority is given to the top customers who always pay tips.

Yes ? I tip all the time, but through the app.
And you can thank the driver for the tip through the app, but
very few drivers give it. 95% or so, and even fewer don't thank me.

Uber Eats seemed to be in demand at the time of Corona when eating and drinking were prohibited in the restaurant
but now that eating and drinking are allowed in the restaurant, the number of orders has decreased
and the balance between supply and demand has reversed, with delivery staff competing for the few orders that are available.

The cheapest way to use a driver without using Uber is to
let a few people get in the car and go around and drop them off
the cabbie can save on expenses too.

Have a nice trip...

Travel is a companion on the road and the world is kind

Was it not relevant

I came back from Japan the other day and the flight from HND to LAX was a rattling one.

I'm glad to hear that, but I think Haneda is a good place to fly. ?
The Singapore Airlines flight I took was via Narita and was overcrowded,
there were no empty seats on the way there and back.
About 85% of the passengers were foreigners, 10 / because the ban on accepting foreigners had just been lifted. The round trip cost was $ 1040
Normally the airline is expensive, but this time I was able to fly cheaply.
But the seats were hard and the food was not good like American airlines, I will pass next time. I will never forget the Daifuku for dessert.
But it's expensive, so I can't fly them very often.
Double Kim Man, how much was the ticket price ??

Gonko's off-topic,

I see, the flight from Narita was close to full.

Then, did the departure airport and its departure time make such an extreme difference?


So far I had bought from the airline's own website about a month before, but this time it was very close and I could not buy from the airline's website, so I bought from an agent. Round trip $ I think it was about 1,600.


> Is Haneda departure a hole in the road ?

I don't know if it is a hole or not, but when I arrived at Narita by LAX - NRT during the pre-pandemic inbound boom year, I stood in line for 3 hours at immigration for US citizens. I stood in line for 3 hours at the immigration checkpoint. At my age, it was hell to stand in line for hours on top of being extremely tired from not being able to sleep well on the plane. So this time I decided to fly - HND. The flight arrived around 5:00 a.m., but the hotel where I was staying that day had a coin locker at the front desk, so I could leave my luggage there and go anywhere I wanted during the rest of the day. \If you are tired and sleepy, you can order a cup of coffee at the coffee shop and relax.

I used to fly Korean Air when they had LAX - NRT, and the fares were cheap. I don't remember if the food was good, but the in-flight service and mood was second only to Japanese Airlines.
