Well.
I think I am pretty much over LA.
Not to say that it is that bad but I just feel like the rest of the world is given a different impression of what this city is really like. It is all big 4 wheel drives, low height slum dwellings and expensive food stores. I am, as of yet, to find a supermarket or some place to get a lot of food in one go. The hostel is nice enough.
Its funny. I actually felt much more safer walking the streets of India than I do L.A. Go figure.
Anyways. A couple of days back we headed to hollywood ave and checked out all the stars on the footpath. WOW, what a big deal. That was the best time I have had in my life...... (I dunno if sarcasm translates easy on a computer screen). We then got conned into taking a tour of the stars houses and such which was looking at a whole lot of covered up gates really. It was alright I suppose. Got to travel it in a limo and checked out all the hot spots which meant we didnt have to do it later. Rodeo Drive was over the top oppulant but had some nice design ideas for upper class stores. It was nearly a waste of time until the driver asked if any of us knew of Antoni Gaudi and if we wanted to see one of the houses he designed. I was flawless in pulling out my camera and pushing past the aussies travelling with us to grab some photos of that.
Ahhh good times.
Just got back from checking out the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which did live up to expectations. Craftmanship got a bit iffey around the corners but overall it is a pretty amazing building. Went for a walk through it all and grabbed some nice shots. Alos saw a random building which was the LA Transport Authority building which looked pretty tops. Going to go to Gehry studios tomorrow and hit them up with some questions.
Not much else to report. Spending more money than expected... Which I suppose is to be expected
