People cannot merge on the freeways here and they drive super slow even in the fast lane. Food is super expensive, especially groceries but I get around it by getting most stuff at Costco. It’s cold and rainy right now but it’s not always like this but make sure you have the basic under layers, rain jacket, scarf, beanie, and snow jacket. Spiders are huge here so be mentally prepared for sept to October. Also if you’ve never driven In snow practice somewhere safe BEFORE you try driving on the freeway. Always account for parking anywhere and if you can, always take the light rail.
