First of all, I think the weather here is the best. It is warm and dry. I really like this; Moreover, though here is always warm, if I miss snow for ski, I can do that just by a several hours driving. And, though it is dry here, surprisingly there are many beaches just within one hour long distance. It is perfect!
Second, I've always dreamed that I would live in a small city. I don't like big big city like NewYork, nor living too small town. Many cities here meet all my requirements. They are peaceful, clean, and developed enough.
For these reasons, I like California very much and I'm happy to be here.
