it can get up to 110* or 90* C {i think}.
......Dear god, that's death beyond a doubt. 110degF is really closer to 40degC. Don't scare the poor boy.

I'm from California, and I have to warn you that it's extremely overrated.
Note: California is a big state. Everything differs.
1. Southern Coast-- This is all of California that most people recognize. This is Hollywood; this is the warm, sunny beaches; this is the California that non-Californians know. It's a very small portion of the states though.
2. The Central Valley-- Most of California is made up of rural, farming communities. A wide variety of crops are grown here, including strawberries, grapes, and sunflowers.
3. The Desert-- Down south, pretty inland, are our deserts. It's very very very hot. Consider yourself warned.
4. The Sierra Nevadas-- These are our mountains. Most of Northern California is made up of mountainous regions. The most popular place to be in the mountains here is the California side of Lake Tahoe, which offers lots of skiing in the winter and its beaches in the summer.
5. The Northern Coast-- This is where I live. I'm in the San Francisco Bay. Summers are hot and sunny, winters are cold and rainy (it very rarely snows here, about once every fifteen years and it doesnt stick to the ground-- it just melts). We have beaches, but they're always cold and cloudy, even in the summer.
So to answer you: As much as I love my town and my state, California is overrated.
Yep yep, except I don't think it's overrated. I love my home and though I'm living very far away from it at the moment, I miss it. I'm from that mountainous area "near" Tahoe and I think it's perfect. Then again, I don't find big cities and lots of action very entertaining.
Kids where I'm from only make the news for sports, not gun violence or gang trouble. There's more hippies than anything else, which makes summers at the river intesting...
Winter varries between thick snow and spring-like temperature, Spring is almost always snowy. Summer is dry and hot. Autumn is rainy and cool. But living expenses are a killer. My friends moved down to the "smog bowl" of Sacramento because it was cheaper.
Then there's the North-north; up above Chico and Yuba City there's pretty much nothing but small towns dotting the interstate. The coast is mountainous and so are the borders (the passes sometimes close in the winter due to snow).

And, as a rule, kids will do stupid things to get into trouble and make the news worldwide, California is definitely no exception.
I do really like it here. In Southern California, it's very diverse, one of the most diverse areas in the country. The public transportation system sucks though.
This is true. All of it. But especially about the public transit. And California can sometimes be so spread out that walking is more than inconvenient: it's counter productive. And depending on where you live biking is abou the same case.

I rather gas be five dollars per gallon instead of food being double the price. I could walk can't I?
You might, but I couldn't.

Look, I'll be honest; I love California. The people here might complain and what not but that's because they're children, they never really been out. They've always been here or stuck in one spot. They don't know what to expect or it's hard for them to compare. Dude, California's your best bet. Especially at the age of 20 and what not, I hope you're thinking about school. California has the best education out there, even if we're in the west side ghetto. Sure Harvard and Yale is else where, they're just ONE school. We have plenty more to top them off.
Dude, totally.
Definately look into college. Don't just jump into a new country and expect to get by flippin' burgers or peelin' potatoes at In-n-Out. And you'll need a car.
sorry for the long post...
