HOLLYWOOD

Hey Guys,

Sorry for a very late post update. I've been busy. I'm currently sitting at LAX Airport - waiting to go to New Orleans, Louisiana. Everyone is currently running to board the plane, which I really don't get. We all have designated seats?!

Anyways...



San Diego was cool, I went to the Zoo & Beaches with this girl from Scotland, Allie. I was unfortunately sick for 3/5 days, so I also spent a lot of time sleeping & drinking water to get healthy again. They had the most amazing restaurant called 'Bryans' which was 24/7 and if you ever go, you need to get the potato gems (tater tots.) I feel like i've been eating probably too many burgers for it to be healthy, but I can't stop - they are SO good here.

I didn't spend enough time in LA at all. I had such mixed reviews from people, but I really enjoyed my time the three nights I was there. I stayed in a Hostel off Hollywood Boulevard, the first night they had a comedy show which was pretty funny. One of my room mates looked like Hercules, which is what I called him - just not to his face. I accidentally purchased cider mixed with cinnamon, it was gross.

Hanging out in my new suburb.

Hollywood Boulevard.

I went on a walk to Beverly Hills, saw the Hollywood sign from afar, tried the secret menu at in & out and went to the talk show Chelsea Lately after Beatrix (girl from Germany) and I scored free tickets (I think they're usually free actually, not sure.)
The talk show was only for 25 minutes, however with waiting and pauses I think we were there for a good 3-4 hours.
Later that night I caught up with Sam, who I met in Portland and we went to the Griffith Observatory, which had amazing views of LA (but I forgot my camera, so hopefully a phone photo will suffice.)
It was an accident that we went there, I asked him if he'd be able to find a park as I hear parking is shitty in LA and he thought I meant if he could find a park to hang out in, I guess they don't use that phrase in the USA. We saw some planet show and then went out for thai.

I'm only staying in New Orleans for 5 days. Although Mardi Gras is on the 4th, All the accommodation has been booked and I was lucky to even get the 5 days I did. I'm also pretty sure the place I'm staying is haunted.

I've also started applying for some jobs, mainly just live in hostel type things.
I'll try keep you posted a little more.
