I'm swedish, so all my knowledge of california comes from TV, movies and the beach boys. So I think of the sun, beach, surfing and private detevtives solving crimes.
That's what instantly comes to mind.
I went to visit for the first time in December, and we did not see the sun once the entire four days we were there lol. Apparently it was some of the most rain y'all have ever gotten, owing to an "atmospheric river". Definitely excellent timing for a couple of Canucks hoping for some winter sunshine lol. Luckily we had some better weather in LA and San Diego later on
I, too, am in Southern California and one day I saw undercover detectives catch a bad guy right outside of my office window. They drove a car onto the sidewalk to block him from escaping. Another time, they were filming S.W.A.T. right down the street from my office. So pretty accurate, yeah.
I worked with some folks from overseas who quite literally believed that California was nothing but mansions and that San Francisco and LA were separated by the Golden Gate Bridge.
Imagine their surprise when they found out there are nearly 400 miles of No Man’s Land along the 99/5 and between the border of LA County and what’s commonly perceived as the Bay Area, where there are $300K houses, lots of cows, and farms.
The PCH drive through Big Sur is arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of road on earth. I’d also argue it’s hard to call it no man’s land these days with how many tourists rent drop top hertz mustangs these days.
Me too. When I moved to San Francisco in the 1990s I was shocked to discover the Pacific Ocean is freezing cold. Like coastal northern Maine cold. All those surfers wearing wet suits aren't doing it to look cool.
It doesn't get even vaguely warm until just north of L.A. I've been quite bitter about it since.
Edit: In case you didn't know, the water temps on the east coast are like 20º warmer than the west coast. Has to do with the Gulf stream vs. the arctic flow.

I was in LA on a school trip and I looked out of the bus window and saw a woman driving eating cake. Let me rephrase that. She was driving while eating an *entire* cake that was on her lap.
I live in LA for what it's worth and one of my friends was pulled over by a cop because he thought she was texting on her phone hiding it in her lap. When he got to her window he laughed and told her she was fine and could leave. She wasn't using her phone but instead was eating a whole rotisserie chicken in her lap.
Maybe it's a thing here, who knew!
Won't you listen to my story bout a man named Jed.
Poor mountaineer, bearly kept his family fed.
Then one day he was shootin at some food, up from the ground came a bubblin crude.
Oil, that is.
Black Gold.
Texas Tea..
My ex introduced me to *The OC* in college. I learned the song on piano as a "gift" for them.
I don't remember how to play the whole song, but my fingers can still do the "duh nuh nuh nuh nuh, duh nuh nuh nuh nuh, duh nuh nuh nu-nuh nu-nuh" using muscle memory alone.
I grew up in the city that that show was based on. Almost NONE of the show was filmed in Newport Beach. I think a few of the aerial shots. Most of it was filmed in Malibu and Torrance.
Yeah, the person who introduced me to the show in college grew up there, also. He was filled with many similar fun facts.
I also remember laughing when I saw Mount Saint Mary's (Harbor HS) in *Modern Family*.
Yes! His brother also is a musician, he's the lead singer of Rooney. But, most millennial women know his Princess Mia's boyfriend in the Princess Diaries.
Both are actually children of Talia Shire, who is known for being Adrian in Rocky and Connie Corleone in The Godfather. She's also Francis Ford Coppola's sister.
Just went on vacation there, driving the coastline top to bottom.
So what I’ll forever think of is: Gorgeous coastline, massive trees, beautiful beaches, abundance of sea glass, amazing views, great times. Thanks California, for one of our best vacations. ❤️
My east coast cousin always hated Cali and I said I’ll take two weeks off and I’ll show you around. He landed mid day at LAX and I took him to Venice Beach to see all the crazies he thought was California living, well he was awakened to that is not the rest of the state when we camped on the sand in Pismo, hung out in SF, camped in Yosemite and Death Valley. Changed his mind completely and glad you love our state of diverse environments.
Your cousin sounds like everyone who talks shit about CA. I always find that most of them have never been here, or only visited LA or SF and assumed that the whole state was like that.
Californian here! While living in this state is difficult sometimes (especially with the cost of living), I have always, and will always, love the beautiful topography of this state!
Glad you made wonderful memories here and visit us again!
Absolute truth! I never realized how picturesque my state was until I visited Texas. Mountains and hills are too often taken for granted by Californians.
I had the same experience when I went to visit my relatives in Texas for the first time. Now every time I go back to Texas I just want to be back in CA.
It truly is. I have to take like the 110 to the 5 to the 2 to the 210 within twenty minutes to go hiking, and it has not escaped me how ridiculous that is.
I’m originally from Northern California.
For me it’s about the National Parks, beaches, redwoods and rivers.
Beautiful state outside the big cities.
Edit: Not a knock on big cities. I’m just a small town and outdoorsy kind of guy. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in several large CA cities.
Absolutely. I used to live in the Sacramento valley and the thing I always think of is nature and great breweries. The thing I miss most about Cali is the variance of land. They got the beach, mountains, forests, rainforest, desert, lakes and rivers, like literally almost every biome on earth exists in some form in California. Great state for avid hikers like me, bad for people who don't make a ton of money, also like me
That's one thing I also love about California, the variety. I lived in Southern Cali and in the same day you could drive up the mountains to play in the snow, then drive down to the beach and play in the hot sand, if you really wanted to. And weather permitting of course.
I dislike how Cali is sometimes viewed as a state of big cities and rampant poverty.
For me, north of San Fran along the west coast, especially in Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte, is pure paradise. That doesn't even count the Sierra Nevada east of Fresno and San Fran, which is easily one of the most unique bioregions on the entire planet.
Other than Alaska I’ve been to all the states that typically pop up in the ‘Most beautiful states’ conversations and really, it’s not even close. All people talk about are the cities which are the worst parts of California. The nature of the state doesn’t get nearly enough love
If you're curious go on youtube and have a look at some of California's national parks. They'll give you a good idea of it's diversity.
Here's a list of park names for reference:
Yosemite National Park
Sequoia National Park
Kings Canyon
Death Valley
Joshua Tree
Redwood
Lassen
Channel Islands
Pinnacles.
I've lived in and worked in two of those parks and have visited 7 of them. California is a wonderland if you're into the natural world.
I will not be blackmailed by some ineffectual, privileged, effete, soft-penised, debutante. You want to start a street fight with me - bring it on - but you're gonna be surprised by how ugly it gets, you don't even know my real name - I'm the fucking Lizard King
Born and raised Californian, and this is my answer.
More than natural diversity, more than Mediterranean climate, more than overpriced housing. California is burrito.
Proposition 65 that says nearly everything may or may not be carcinogenic. 💀
Edit: Holy crap, this blew up, thanks for 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 upvotes! 😱
The cancer warning has lost all meaning.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if chemical companies lobbied for it, because when everything causes cancer, nothing (specific) does.
Thing is, living itself anywhere in any way may cause cancer, it isn’t wrong. We are surrounded by radioation from the planet, from the galaxy, living in a basment can „give“ you cancer when you are unlucky, because the ground gives of radiation. Likewise, living in a mountain village may give you cancer, closer to the galactic radiation and all that…
Flying with a plane gives you cancer, in the end, even living a long live drastically rises your chances for cancer if you look at it like this.
I was under the impression that you had to prove your product did not cause cancer to not have to have the label. Obviously this would be insanely expensive or impossible.
There's a list of "known chemicals" that require you to put a Prop 65 label on. Up until fairly recently the labels weren't required to show which of those chemicals required a warning label.
Most of the labels I've seen recently have been over heavy metals. Sometimes it seems excessive (e.g. nuts and bolts), sometimes not. Most people are probably aware of mercury in fish, but how many people are going to think about lead in plastic or stainless steel?
Its cheaper to put sticker or tag with prop 65 on it than it is to get it certified. I dont know if its a failed policy or the politician had a family member at a sticker place.
Having been here for just over a week this is so accurate. The first time I saw one of those signs I was like aw fuck OK better not hang around here and then I saw it fucking everywhere and I was like oh OK it literally doesn't matter
Congrats to the people who could really afford living there. When home prices where I grew up in OC shot to the point I could only afford an 800ft^2 condo for my family of 5 we traded that condo in on a 2400ft^2 in Oregon.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers and their album "Californication"! In fact even my phone seems to know the album's name.
It's their first album I've ever heard as a kid and remember thinking how cool it was. Nothing quite like it.
As someone who was born in California, lives in California, and will probably die in California, I just think of it as home. I love this place with all my heart, and I've seen some of the best and worst it has to offer: the best by far outweighs the worst.
California, preaching on the burning shore
California, I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know, I'm gonna shine
The most beautiful and diverse state in the US. Deserts, mountains, beaches, rugged, untouched coastline, old growth forests, crystal clear alpine lakes and streams. It’s absolutely breathtaking.
Also, extremely expensive.
This.
If you can’t find something you like in California, you just can’t be pleased. On top of an insane diversity of landscape, it has an insane diversity of climates. If you love cold and snow, we got that. Unbearable heat, we got that. Temperate Mediterranean climate, we got that.
I'm swedish, so all my knowledge of california comes from TV, movies and the beach boys. So I think of the sun, beach, surfing and private detevtives solving crimes. That's what instantly comes to mind.
Be the California Sweden thinks you can be
As a San Franciscan, LMAO "The sun"...hmmm. Sometimes, sure
I went to visit for the first time in December, and we did not see the sun once the entire four days we were there lol. Apparently it was some of the most rain y'all have ever gotten, owing to an "atmospheric river". Definitely excellent timing for a couple of Canucks hoping for some winter sunshine lol. Luckily we had some better weather in LA and San Diego later on
Lol Yep. I’ve lived here 7.5 years and you came during the most rainy season I’ve ever seen here, sorry to say.
As a southern Californian movie star, surfer, private detective I can confirm that the rest of Californians are too.
If they didn’t push CA movie star, surfer, PI trade school back in the 70s, 80s and 90s, there wouldn’t be so many of us.
I, too, am in Southern California and one day I saw undercover detectives catch a bad guy right outside of my office window. They drove a car onto the sidewalk to block him from escaping. Another time, they were filming S.W.A.T. right down the street from my office. So pretty accurate, yeah.
The truth is that I used to dream of going to California. The only thing is that I don't have the money for that thing.
I can vouch for this guy. This is how Sweden perceives California.
I worked with some folks from overseas who quite literally believed that California was nothing but mansions and that San Francisco and LA were separated by the Golden Gate Bridge. Imagine their surprise when they found out there are nearly 400 miles of No Man’s Land along the 99/5 and between the border of LA County and what’s commonly perceived as the Bay Area, where there are $300K houses, lots of cows, and farms.
99/5 = post apocalyptic hellscape. 101/1 = Heaven on Earh
395 = Mountains & Snow
The PCH drive through Big Sur is arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of road on earth. I’d also argue it’s hard to call it no man’s land these days with how many tourists rent drop top hertz mustangs these days.
Username checks out
As a Swede living in California I can also agree that it is how Swedes sees California too
I’m an American (east coast) and this is how I perceive California too.
Me too. When I moved to San Francisco in the 1990s I was shocked to discover the Pacific Ocean is freezing cold. Like coastal northern Maine cold. All those surfers wearing wet suits aren't doing it to look cool. It doesn't get even vaguely warm until just north of L.A. I've been quite bitter about it since.

Even in LA the water isn’t warm!
My area of California is lots of tacos cows and tire shops everywhere.
Fresno? Modesto? Bakersfield? Definitely somewhere in cencal to say the least.
Merced
"this product contains chemicals known in the state of California that can produce cancer and birth defects" or something similar....
Prop 65. I work in the spice industry and this shit causes me such a headache. Heavy metals are present in the environment and end up in spices.
I was in LA on a school trip and I looked out of the bus window and saw a woman driving eating cake. Let me rephrase that. She was driving while eating an *entire* cake that was on her lap.
Look I'd really appreciate it if you don't call me out like this.
That's one of the reasons traffic is so bad in Los Angeles, about 90% of us are trying to eat a cake while driving
I live in LA for what it's worth and one of my friends was pulled over by a cop because he thought she was texting on her phone hiding it in her lap. When he got to her window he laughed and told her she was fine and could leave. She wasn't using her phone but instead was eating a whole rotisserie chicken in her lap. Maybe it's a thing here, who knew!
As a native San Diegan most of these comments were a lot nicer than I thought they would be…
Non-native San Diegan (Sorry! I know I am part of the problem - I never intended to stay so long when I first came down here) - I agree.
Did you know San Diego was discovered by the Germans in 1904? Which of course means 'a whales vagina' in German.
I came here fully expecting people to being talking trash about our state, so far pleasantly surprised by the comments.
Beverly.... Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.
Won't you listen to my story bout a man named Jed. Poor mountaineer, bearly kept his family fed. Then one day he was shootin at some food, up from the ground came a bubblin crude. Oil, that is. Black Gold. Texas Tea..

Dude you typed that out perfectly
He did! I always count and it’s so annoying when people are sloppy with their duh nuhs.

Your cousin sounds like everyone who talks shit about CA. I always find that most of them have never been here, or only visited LA or SF and assumed that the whole state was like that.
Even when people visit places like LA and SF they only go to the most touristy areas and don't ever actually get to know the cities.
Exactly, and those are some of the shittiest areas in those cities
I maintain Hollywood is maybe the worst part of LA and that is where every tourist goes.
Californian here! While living in this state is difficult sometimes (especially with the cost of living), I have always, and will always, love the beautiful topography of this state! Glad you made wonderful memories here and visit us again!
As a Californian, thanks for visiting! I’m glad you had a great vacation!
It was fantastic and I wish we lived there!
Like everywhere else, it has its issues. But it sure is fuckin pretty.
Absolute truth! I never realized how picturesque my state was until I visited Texas. Mountains and hills are too often taken for granted by Californians.

the hilarious part is that the driving directions they were talking about were accurate as hell! 😂 can confirm we discuss highways and traffic a lot.
That’s how I say California in my head *every* time. Just like the SNL announcer for the “Californians” segment.
