HA. It is bound to happen.
When would British Airways want to strike. Just when we are flying with them. What a crock. Our flight to London was cancelled and it took a good hour and a half on the phone to finally get our flights changed from Thursday the 1st of February to this coming Monday the 29th of February. It honestly took a good 5 mins for them to understand our booking refernece number because they thought we couldnt pronounce the letter 'z' properly.
Apart from that everything is fine and dandy. Gehry studios was amazing. The place is huge and I snuck a few photos to look back on. (They didnt actually allow it but I think I got some good ones of the entire place). I will talk alot about it in the lecture so I think I will save most of that info till then.
Got stranded in South Central for an hour which was an eyebrow raiser.
Visited Santa Monica and Malibu beach and the likes. Saw a mini putt which I got amped up for but then realised it was probably the most average one I have ever seen. Worse than Snappers at the mount or that shitty one at Rainbows End.
Because of the change in flights I probably wont get a chance to visit any mini putss considering the nearest one is about a 3 hour bus ride away. Already done a few of them and they are not fun. Especially when you are sitting near homeless people who have just found enough money for a fare and have just pissed themselves.
Visited Burger King ( my first true fast food joint here so far) and I have concluded that America fast food is not actually that much tastier than New Zealand ones as I was led to believe. The cheese is a bit tastier and the king size (which I got) was monster. I am talking a drink larger than 1 ltr which was bigger than the burger and fries put together. And it was cheap. Probably about $7 NZ for the largest combo.
I also am missing out on the Getty Centre which is a bit of a shame but I figure I would rather be in London with a (pretty much) gauranteed trip home than stranded in LA.
