4. What do you think of when you think "California"? Does this differ from what non-Californians think and if so, how?4. When i think of "California", I think of warm weather, San Francisco and the pacific ocean. I think of immigration issues, an agricultural based economy and diversity. California is an incredibly diverse and accepting place for the most part. From Los Angeles to San Francisco we have some of the most beautiful cities one could ever imagine, as well as some of the most expensive real estate imaginable. From outside of California I can see people precieving it as the place where movie stars live. The land of opprotunity and of endless jobs. Always sunny, with surfers and beach blondes. Expensive cars and big houses being the commonality. I recently experienced a slight culture shock with my first visit to Los Angeles. I stayed in northern hollywood with friends, but felt like a complete outsider and out of place. Hollywood was very different from the north california that I am used to. Different places within this same beautiful state can be as different as its inhabitors.

5. Have you created a blog or webpage in the past?

5. I have never previously created a blog or a webpage.
