L.A.

Bus-train-bus to L.A., one-day-trip.
My first couchsurfers, Billy and Josh picked me up in Santa Monica where they lived and we went straight to bars! We had great time together, haha the Belgian beer Festival, the In'N'out burgers, the zombie movie, singing "yahourt" in the car, the Getty Museum, the E. 6th street bridge, driving around by this rainy day, 2$ bad t-shirt in Chinatown (I haven't worn it by now...waiting for a special occasion...), the ocean front walk in Santa Monica...
The last two nights I crushed at Olga & Brett's, downtown, Flower street. The guy next door just comitted suicide... I enjoyed with them mexican food, talking about music and other things... Sorry for the lamp guys... ; )
And also on my own, architecture walks, Fashion/Warehouse/Toy/Jewell/Fashion Districts, organic sandwich at Venice beach, American Apparel outlet shop, burritos burritos, too long journeys by bus, Silverlake, Griffith Park, Sunset boulevard, Hollywood!! I couldn't believe, ... ; ) All you see in movies. But for real.
Big big city, so spread out, a city made for cars, but so rich, si dynamic, so multicultural. These 4 days and nights made me tired.
