Kinda scary. People vomiting in the streets. A Salvadorean cabbie told me that there a lot of sweatshops around the Greyhound station. I did make it out to Venice once. Not bad beaches in LA. Downtown reminded me a lot of Latin American cities; crowded, dirty, aggressive and corny with bad salsa music blasting from every nook and cranny. Sam
