All true, but for me the most unexpected surprised about living here (specifically the Bay Area) is the relative lack of mosquitos. Coming from Ontario, that is a huge change!

I always forget about what the mosquitos are like in Ontario until I visit my parents' house in the boonies up there in the summer time.

I think that within a 10 km radius of my parents', there are at least 4 streets that are named "mosquito [lane,street,road]" and by god are they aptly named (in the summertime).

In general, not a ton of bugs on the west coast. I'm in SV now but grew up in the northwest, and every time I go elsewhere, there's a new unpleasant surprise. The last one was the northeast.. yeah, I know it's gonna be humid, but random downpour on an otherwise nice summer day, bugs everywhere, blah!
