Hello! Ihave made it safely to LA, I got through customs without them sending me back AND I made it to the hostel without getting lost! I am justifiably extremely proud of myself.
The plane rides were a bit funny. They went up and down.I didn't get sick but I also got no sleep so now I am tired. On the way to Brisbane they made us watch 'Must Love Dogs' which is the WORST film of all time. I got to Brisbane and caught the free train to the international terminal. I had a 6 hour wait! Luckily I found a pair of glasses in the bathroom. I killed half an hour while I tried to find a place to hand them in too.
The plane to LA was more comfortable but it was a much longer trip. Because of the change in timezones we arrived in LA before we left Brisbane. Halfway through I had a mini breakdown and decided I wouldn't even leave the airport and instead would come home. After 1/2 an hour of this I settled again and was nervous but not panicy.
As we descended on LA you could see the tick smog that lies on top of the city. It was a bit worrying. LA is dirtier than I'd thought it would be. The roads are cracked and potholed EVERYWHERE and all of the signage and painting on the shops is old. I went to the "Ripleys Believe it or Not' museam today and went to the footprints and where they have the Oscars. I don't think I'd live to lve here.
I took a picture of David Bowies Star thing for Ebony. It is the only picture I took all day. There are lots of homeless people here to. They ask you for money. I felt bad saying no. A lady came up to me and said I had a nice aura and that she'd like to do a psychic reading for me. She wanted $40US. I said no but I saw her around all day hassling the other tourists.
Bye for now. Email me if you like. :-)
