1. People here LOVE tattoos. I don't think I've seen this much ink since watching highlights of an NBA game on SportsCenter. And the weird thing is the tattoos aren't small or subtle. People here have their entire arms and backs inked. Do these people ever have to work because I really don't think there is an easy way to hide any of these tattoos? Many of the people with a significant part of their body tattooed aren't really the people you'd expect to see all inked up. Weird. Definitely not a trend I'll be embracing.
2. Old people here love to work out. It is kind of strange to be jogging along by the beach or through downtown and see so many old (and I'm talking like 70s and 80s old) people jogging as well or cruising along on their road bikes. I mean, I know people on the West Coast are generally much fitter but I didn't expect to see this trend prevalent even in senior citizens. I'm impressed - as Ali G would say, "Respect!"
3. Downtown San Diego probably has more bums per capita than another place I've ever been to. I guess if I was a bum, I'd probably make San Diego my home as well, but it is pretty staggering. The guy who stocks the bread shelf at Ralph's downtown warned me to not walk too far from shopping cart (where my purse was stationed) because bums are keeping an eye open for silly transplants like me that wander too far away from their valuables...
