LA walkabout

Friday, November 30 2007

I had time to spend while I was in LA so I tried to see different areas. The main two were Beverly Hills and Santa Monica Beach.

Gotta say that I was quite impressed by the street lights on Rodeo drive:Chandeliers as street lights

It was very nice and tidy – everything gear up for a pleasant spending experience (not that I have that kind of money)

Santa Monica beach was beautiful and not many people around when I was there, which of course helped :) I believe it is Mailbu in the background. Some smoke was still lingering after the wild fires.

Ok so I was slight naughty and took some pic while the car was not a stand still. This pic I am turning and taking the corner too narrow and I saw in my mirror a police car so I swiftly put the camera away.

I know I have seen LA from its best side but I can’t help but look at the difference between LA and SF. I twitter’d it while thinking about it – this is why I love twitter, easy way to express my thoughts.

The weather is so much nicer in LA, kind of easy cos with SF’s wind and ever changing weather is difficult to be worse. There were hardly any homeless people around, I saw only one and he was doing pushups on the pavement – ha like to see that happen in SF! Few people walk in LA, whereas I feel I see and notice more things while walking. Absent in LA is the people & cars smelling of weed, which is frequent is SF ;)

    When I’ve been in So. Cali I’ve never had the chance to really spend time there. So, depsite having been in LA several times I still don’t feel like I know much about it. SF on the other hand I know well. Based on what I know, I prefer SF. But, I prefer Monterey/Pacific Grove above all.

    I like the diversity of SF – it reminds me of London (which still is my No1 city) and that is very liberal. There are some probs in SF and I guess when I was in LA I saw none of those things.

    The best thing is that both cities is so different – it would be boring if it is all the same.

    DOh… were you taking pics while you were driving? I have to laugh.. because I did the same thing while driving through the Blue Ridge Parkway this past fall… and I stopped on a 1 lane street in the fog…. not a smart thing to do.. but it was just too beautiful not to take a pic.
