life is good here, it's like being in europe but everyone speaks spanish and its cheaper.
some ppl speak english and will try to speak if they know any. depending on your area there are more english speakers, like the open air markets and some of the shopping areas. as for the local markets, not really. depending on the girl, you might strike out if she doesn't speak any english, but if she knows some and wants to learn more, you hit the jackpot!
i can't see any blatant racism here. the only blacks i see are a couple of african street vendors and tourists. there really isn't that many blacks, so when you see one, you really notice them.
B.A. is like nyc and paris mixed togather. Its a great place and I don't plan to leave for a while. as for other places I'd like to live, tokyo is amazing and san diego is pretty awesome. if i learned french I would give living in paris a shot.
