    University High School versus Northwood High School

    There's a Chinese school that runs on Sunday from 9-12:30 at Irvine High on Walnut (I think). My girlfriend's brother is in it and it seems to be OK. I was also in a Chinese school as a kid. Expect a lot of pushback from the kid. I used to get in weekly fights about going, but I...

    buying dilemma

    I tend to agree with gepetoh. Unless you have a good reason to move out of your parents' house, stay. I'd advocate paying them some rent over even renting another place. It'll cost less overall and you can help them with the expenses you create.

    Your favorite IAC place

    I've never stayed in a place with a 2 car garage. If you are looking for specific amenities like this, I'd talk to the agents at the IAC apartment center on Harvard/Main. They might also waive your application fee. I'd rank my experiences with IAC/Irvine rentals in the following...

    Who are the slow drivers on the freeways?

    IR: I do the same. But to be extra annoying, I speed up when they try to pass.

    Who are the slow drivers on the freeways?

    Reasons of slow driving from observations of mom: 1. She's short: -She uses a pillow to prop her up so that she can see well. Since she believes she can't see "everything around her", it makes her more cautious. -This is also the reason she prefers "high" cars (i.e. the Quest...

    Irvine Schools

    Being an ABC (American Born Chinese), I feel like I'm able to see both sides. My mom had the traditional "study now socialize later" mentality and my dad had a more social view on things. From my limited experience, it seems like neither extreme is conducive to a happy life. Moderation is...

    <em>Pedestrian is a viewed as criminal here in Irvine. Cops often stop and question them. </em> Wow. I thought that was just a problem for us younger folk. One of my friends got questioned by IPD while he was walking and praying (yes, really!) in the park. They pressured him to "show...

    Car Advice

    wow. This thread is nothing like its title! I don't know if anyone has mentioned this already, but the Acura TSX is actually quite nice around the 25k price range. The only option is navi-everything else comes standard. It comes with reliability and it's "not just a Honda."
