I'm sitting here in Ian Hill's house in the neighborhood of Russian Hill in San Francisco. California is such a diverse and spectacular state given the face that there are positives and negatives to every location/place on this earth. Moving from San Diego to LA was narly because i was able to visit Orange county, home of laguna, newport, and huntington beaches. Eventually I arrived in Beverly Hills LA with two of brothers from high school. I checked out the Westwood village/UCLA area, Santa Monica, Venice, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, West Hollywood etc. Even saw Jack Black at the grocery store and a few more upcoming stars. Hottest club in LA has to be Area and since we didn't pull up in a ferrari, yellow lamborghini, or McLaren....our appreance, looks, and attire led the way ... read more

Thursday 7th December Paul - Greyhound gets a bad reputation in America and our first bus was over 40 minutes late which is a cracking way to be introduced to it's delights.

If you didn't want Burger King then tough shit because I literally couldn't see another building on the horizon, never mind food place. The driver had ... read more

Oliver: Well, we finally got away. After a pretty full day at school in Welly we flew into brilliantly sunny SF and spent the next 3 days catching up with old friends, checking out the Exploratorium, (Very cool) and otherwise pottering around the city. Near the Exploratorium is the Palace of Fine arts - a giant testament to the USA's own ego, a great big greek style dome. I cant blame 'em - must be annoying, people going 2 europe to see Greek ruins! ' huh we've got ruins an ours r in perfect condition!!' Martin: Louis was very reluctant to get up in the sunny SF mornings (jet lagged)- managed to entice him with the prospect of a bike ride over to Sausalito - the home of a legendary sweet shop his brother visited two ... read more
