Hvordan tager man til et andet engelsktalende land og skaber den største kontrast til laid back NZ? Svaret er: man flyver 12 timer, krydser datolinien og ækvator, træder ud i 15 mio. indbyggere store, larmende, varme og dekandente LA, hvor alt handler om at se og blive set, og hvor det at være berømt er alt. Et godt eksempel er, at man her i byen fx kan få en GPS med 'celebrity voices' når man lejer en bil. Og jeg har kastet mig ud i dekandencen. Bor på et skønt hotel med roof top pool bar på Wilshire Boulevard lige op ad Rodeo Drive og det berømte hotel fra Pretty Woman, og jeg har været ude og spankulere omkring som om, at Rodeo Drive da er en helt almindelig shoppinggade for mig:-) Her er alt stort ... read more

Okay, so I don't know how many of you know this, but last night I got home from Los Angeles after having spent almost four days (Saturday night until yesterday afternoon) with some of my first cousins from Saudi Arabia. I wasn't sure if I was going to do a blog about this trip, because I was nervous about people's reaction. However, my mom told my grandma and Uncle John and Aunt Dianne. They seem happy for me, and I appreciate that. I don't know if anyone reading this can fully understand how important this was for me (meeting some Saudi relatives for the first time in my life), and that's okay. I'm not asking anyone to be able to relate. I'm sure Nancy N. can, though. Anyway, as Aunt Dianne put it (my mom told ... read more

The second day of the trip already, I had gone across to the shops and gotten myself a nice freshly made juice, chocolate, crisps and sweets for the road trip around hehe. Some of the guys were a little worse for wear.....I was a little seedy but the juice helped and I was thankful I had stopped drinking when I did. First stop was going to be Mann Chinese Theatre once we made it out of the morning traffic, there was just so much traffic I don't know if I could handle it if I lived there. We drove down Rodeo Drive and had to stop at the end as some people weren't feeling to well.... oohh how we will remember Rodeo Drive LOL!!! Poor Emiko, I'm sure the girl was thinking what had she ... read more

18/03/07 - 22/03/07 Los Angeles From out hotel on Wilshire, we walked the 2 blocks down to Rodeo Drive area and had brunch in a café on Beverly Drive. From our vantage point we were in people and car watching heaven. A 17- year old looking kid driving a convertible Ferrari, Mutton dressed as lamb stamped all over with Louis Vitton’s monogram, a plastic faced, tracksuit wearing woman steps out a Lamborghini and a bleach blonde complete with spray tan, fake boobs and barely clothed, wobbled past us on her unfeasibly high heel ankle boots. Porn star? We mused…. With serious Thai food withdrawal symptoms, we skipped past famous landmarks on Sunset strip; The restaurant owned by Prince, the Diner where Marilyn Monroe worked as a waitress before she was discovered, the carwash on which ‘The ... read more
