Thousands of miles,
bazillion of videos,

"That's a Holywood sign, yeah, that's there I live now."

I'm almost sure we have not done it "right" or the ways locals would do it, but we enjoyed the city in some ways and got pazzled by other staff. For example, to get out of the house almost anywhere would take you 30-40 minutes:

- Universal -- 30m - Getty Gallery -- 30m - Moca -- 30m - Santa-Monica -- 40m - Computer Cafe in Korea Town -- 40m

That's convinient, I guess, but at the same time you are going to spend A LOT of the time driving and it better not be the rush hours, because then all the times become more like 90m.

## Good parts

**Multi-cultiralism**: there are so many people from all across the globe from China to Peru that you blend with the soup immediatly and just go about your day. Need a russian beauty services -- here you go, want a fresh sushi -- there is like 50 places and that goes for everything. While shopping for a car we spoke to 2 Iranians, 1 German, 1 guy I believe from Columbia, 1 American and 2 Indians.
