Temperature: approx. 30 - 80 degress (There won't be very many days in winter when the temp is around 30) Rent : 1 bedroom - $800 - 1600 0r more (depends on where n how u wanna live) Transportation - pretty good- metro n buses everywhere but if u r living around the suburbs u might need a car.. not necessary though.. buses go almost everywhere)!! Keep in mind the HORRIBLE RUSH HOUR (avoid driving on 395, 495 & 66 during rush hr...its a nightmare) People : haha... funny part.. dunno where u r living now but over here u"ll see more colored ppl than white... every other person is either spanish, asians or Indians..Apart from ethnicity, typical city life... busy ppl...mean n reckless drivers... be careful while driving...!! Food: whatever u want... its there!!!! From Indian dhabas to high class dining...(depends on how much u wanna spend). If you are thinking about cooking ... no worries indian grocery stores and korean markets have everything u want (nepali style food) This is just a summary.. i can go on n on.... type garnu aalchi lagyo... but all I wanna say is tht living is pretty expensive compared to other cities but its a nice place...I LOVE this place!!!
