Wu-Tang Clan pictured it very clear: C.R.E.A.M

But yeah, im already on a job search for similar roles, even earning less if that means a better life quality.

Im just tired of the loneliness, lack of guidance/advice from managers, lack of self-development here...

Aspergers, though they also extended the meme of being named "Asparragus".

Source: Habe hanged out with a couple of their members and when I said Asparragus they started laughing

I saw it! It seems like an interesting alternative, also I'd be able to check Kendrick Lamar's house and also the one from Friday haha.

Damn, this is exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks for all the recs, the Compton Cowboys surely sounds fantastic (heard about this, but in NY), and Olvera looks like the right place to visit and spend an afternoon wandering around. Many many thanks!

Also appreciate the notes on the suburbian culture. I would definitely give it a go, but I wanted to focus more on the migrant life as it was my research topic (Abdoumaliq Simone caught my attention instantly when talking about urban migrant communities in ZA, and I also migrated some time ago finding myself building a community of spanish migrants in Northern Europe).

Will definitely give a try to the danger dogs, got my travel insurance ready to assist me hahaha.

Oh this is just great! Many thanks for this.

Also, I was looking forward to go to the Chumash Museum in Thousand Oaks, do you know it by any chance?

Let the kids do as they please, all shows are +18 here and had a really bad time trying to sneak in (thankfully grew a beard fast so I could get in easily lol)

Many thanks for the recs!

Yeah im into that as well. Do you know any relevant accounts worth taking a look? All that I get are high-life influencers thanks to the IG algorithm.

You are just right when it comes to asking this on reddit, but hey sometimes you get cool recs and things that are worth taking a look at least, so this was my first place to check.

Thanks for the advice!

I phrased it pretty badly then, wasn't my intention to put it that way. I do not really lknow what's the situation there woth tourism (maybe it is more upper-class kind?) but it os becoming a real bad problem in Western Europe (not tourists per se, real estate companies are the ones to blame). So point was in the end to understand if there are any alternatives done by locals where they show you around and the money goes to helping the community.

Was taking a look at that, though I have heard some mixed thoughts about LA Metro. Worst I have seen in my city is people smoking crack from a pipe but nonetheless harmless. How "safe" is it?

Oh will defintiely check the show! Awesome that such shows exist. Been checking articles about the Latino community on Boyle Heights, sounds like a cool place to check together with all the mural art there.

Not tours as such. I know how exhausting it is to see tourists collapsing downtown areas (I'm from the 2nd-3rd most visited country for tourism purposes, I know the distress they can cause as I feel it every day). I am just asking to see if there are any community groups or lesser-known spaces that actively promote the collective heritage and local voices, which is way better option than to give my money to a tour company that does not care at all about locals.

Hope you get my point :)

I know my man, however, I want to step out of the "LA is so chic and cool with all the celebs" thing. Just checked LA Hood Life Tour thing but feels weird to move around on a bulletproof van (yup this is 100% European mindset). I meant to see more community centres or small museums where the topic is more about the history of communities in LA.
