In the City of Angels

Greetings from the USA :)

So where do I start? LA was an absolutely awesome city but totally not what I was expecting. There was just so much to see, play and do that the 2 short days I spent there were really not enough. The roads are much wider, the people are very friendly and almost everything is bilingual in English and Spanish. However the metro uses old tin cans like that in Sydney and they don't come as often as I thought they would in a big city like LA. I'm staying in Little Tokyo in downtown LA which is surprisingly not that lively.
