Now let's look at three of the main differences: their people,transportation and weather. Los Angeles is a city of minorities and immigrants. More than half of its inhabitants are minorities: Hispanic Americans, Black Americans, Asian Americans, and immigrants. Mexicans,Central Americans, Chinese,Japanese,Koreans,Filipinos,Vietnamese,and other Asians make up the largest groups of immigrants and refugees. Many of these people are still learning English. In contrast,Tokyo has almost no minorities. Many foreigners live there, but most of them are not immigrants. Tokyo's public transportation is much better than L.A.'s.
Although Los Angeles has an excellent system of freeways, it does not have a subway, and the buses are very slow. In contrast, Tokyo probably has the best system of railroad,subway, and bus lines in the world. About twenty million people use it every day.
Neither city has a bad climate, but most people agree that L.A's weather is more pleasant. L.A. is drier and sunnier that Tokyo. Winters in Tokyo are cool, but snow is quite rare. Summers there are hot and humid. In contrast, L.A. has mild, sunny winters and hot summers. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons in both cities.
