After getting through customs and getting my visa approved (only took about 2 hours :( - i was met by a friend from Lismore uni on Study abroad- Katie! Of course, when i went to get into the car i tried to get in the drivers seat- silly cars driving on the wrong side of the road! dont think il ever get use to that one! All the cars are so big!

I walked over all the stars names and footprints on the sidewalk and saw the big hollywood sign! People dress up as cartoon ... read more
