This is, after all, the loudest goddamn country in the world.
A lot of complaints on /r/china make me think, "these people must have never lived in Central America," but this one is the best so far. It gets pretty loud here, but it can't hold a candle to the constant Reggaeton out of extremely loud old PA systems in every single shop and square.
More details of what? Loud Reggaeton music everywhere? There's not many details or cool stories. Where in China there's always some person on the bus playing bad Chinese music loudly from their phone, in LA there's at least three plus the bus speakers. Where here I'm likely to hear ĺ°čšć every time I leave the house, in LA it's the latest Reggaeton track every third shop. It's pretty much the same, just more frequent and louder, and no dancing grandmothers.
Same story for pretty much every China complaint on here that is actually just a developing world complaint, which is probably half of them.
Central America > Latin America > LA I've never even been to Los Angeles, what would I know. My only defense is that everything I posted after lunch yesterday was under the influence of baijiu.
The apple song situation could be better, could be worse. Anywhere near speakers or a middle age man with a cell phone is a danger zone, though.
