I vividly remember my first bus ride in LA ever. It was 2003, and I was traveling from Los Feliz to Sherman Oaks. It was rush hour but the bus was almost empty, which surprised me a lot after living in Moscow for years. Seems like I was the only white person there and people were giving me curious looks. Argentina?, inquired one of them. No. Equador? Russia, actually. Hmm, what does a white girl like you do on the bus, did your car break? That was an absolutely new experience to me and I didnt know what to say, so I just smiled politely.
