Blogs from Culver City, Los Angeles, California, United States, North America - page 2

A great big hello from sunny California! We have just spent our first full day here in the US, arriving in Los Angeles after what can only be described as one extremely LONG flight! A multitude of movies, games, TV shows and music could in no way stave off the obvious fact that your butt was spending the majority of 14 hours in one confined seat. And to top it all off, you somehow also had the fantastic intention of getting some kind of sleep in pretty much an upright position surrounded by strangers suspended thousands of feet above the earth! So without stating the obvious, we arrived in LA safe and sound..... So in amongst the blur that became our day of setting foot on American soil we; filled in 4 hours at the airport, ... read more

We started today with a really nice buffet breakfast at our hotel. Waffles, bacon, eggs, cereal etc (not in that order). Caught a cab out to Universal Studios travelling via the beautiful Hollywood Hills and the magnificent homes there. Another fantastic taxi driver, the ones we have had have been extremely knowledgable and excellent drivers to boot. First stop at Universal Studios was saving the world from Cyberdine Systems (Terminator 2), 3D cinema at it's absolute best. After saving the world from attack we were meandering along the streets of the studios and you just never know who you might bump in to. Karen (Vicki's sister), Brian (her husband), Emerson and Jackson (our nephews), Jason (Vicki's brother) and his friends Dennis and Michelle. After some lunch we took the studio tour. With our front of line ... read more

After considering and reconsidering my options and how exactly this will work, I decided to do it. I decided to leave Los Angeles for possibly up to a year and travel to Seoul, South Korea to stay with some friends, learn some Korean, and hopefully see a couple other countries in Asia, and maybe even Australia. I have about one month left in LA before I head to Oregon to spend time with family (stopping in San Francisco on the way up), before heading to Korea in mid September. I have no idea how things will go and what will happen when I decide to come back, but I am optimistic in the fact that this isn't the first time that I have left home to go live in another country, on another continent for a ... read more
