LOS SANTOS

It is quite an important day for some of San Andreas' citizens as I could observe a great amount of people moving out of the county to reach the big city.

The city of Los Santos

Today seems to be the day everyone moves to Los Santos, driving on the highway and looking in the streets I couldn't help but notice the tremendous amount of rental and mover trucks all around the city. Apparently I'm not the only one moving from the county to Los Santos.

The City

"I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of Los Santos' skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over Los Santos and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime?"

Being born in Japan, I am very familiar with highly populated environments, when I flew abroad to the US, I thought I'd settle in the county area for a change, just to get my mind cleared and my thoughts settled. I guess what I was seeking was a new beginning, far from all of the emotions and events that I've been through back in my mother country. And let me tell you that I am glad that I purchased this flight ticket. So I've been thinking for a while, for about a week or so.. I've been thinking of moving from Paleto to Los Santos and today, I've finally made the move.

Mirror Park

I've seen several ads about houses and properties in Mirror Park. Unfortunately the area isn't of my taste and doesn't quite suit myself. The suburbs just look all the same. Like a bunch of over-priced houses all lined up one next to the other, the properties have no particular character.On the other hand, it might be nice if you have a little family of your own, having a small yard for the dog, having BBQs with the neighbors that you don't like all that much. The only things that are most likely going to bring me in Mirror Park are its lake and the small café that I've recently discovered on Mirror Park BLVD. Speaking of the café, it might just end up being the place where I'll spend my free and lonely mornings, trying to have some work done and of course blogging. Their high quality coffee is sure to grant me the needed amount of caffeine to get me through the day.

Downtown

"Downtown. Lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

I managed to get myself a small apartment, in a, what seems to be, decent neighborhood. Hopefully this area won't end up like the ghettos located further south in Los Santos. I guess this is another new start if I can say. The city will most definitely have more opportunities for me career wise, so I'm looking forward to living here and moving on with my life. The best is yet to come.
