LA
Next, we came to LA. It was really overwhelming, because there was absolutely endless stuff to do here. Every corner of this giant metropolis offered something unique to check out. The 3 days we were here seemed really short.
We first checked out Malibu beach. Again, awesome beach, worthy of its famous statuary. We hung out in Hollywood quite a lot. Visited the Universal Studios Citywalk, Hollywood Boulevard, where all the famous entertainment landmarks are; such as the Kodak Theatre, Walk of Fame, the Chinese Theatre, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Some of us toured the NBC studio and lined up for taping of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, while others went to see the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. I was sooo close to getting into Leno. In a line up of 400+, there were only 15 people in front of me before they filled up. While in Beverly Hills, we drove to the Playboy Mansion. It's actually quite cleverly hidden so as to avoid random visitors like us. It was gated real good, and we couldn't see much of the property, but the fact that we were at the gates of the Mansion is story enough. We also went to Long Beach, only to find a freakish scene of total absence on the stretched-out beach. We did however find West Coast Choppers. This is the bike shop where Jessie James works on the show Monster Garage. Pretty rad display of rides there.
One thing I have to mention though: driving in LA is absolute horror! the highway gets jammed on Sunday nights at 8, people honk at random, and no one gives any room. I was so glad when I drove out of LA.
