Recap of LA

Los Angeles - 29 May 2004 - 4 June 2004

After 14 hours on United Airlines, we arrived in Los Angeles. I have nothing good to say about United Airlines. They are the worst.

* Within the first two hours we managed to survive a mugging in downtown LA while we were trying to call home. We paid a guy $5US and he bolted

* The Mexicans refused to speak to me in English. Hola finally I can use my Spanish.

* Day 2 – headed to Universal studios to buy my slate for filming and other purposes of course
Caught a train after midnight from universal studios and yet escaped my second mugging incident

* Day 3 – A guy at Venice beach tried ripping me off by selling me belly dancing belts at $65 US. I told him to rack off and that I can get 10 for that price in Turkey

* The internet café closed on me

* Nothing comes in small packages in the US

* My first incident on the bus in LA when the woman bus driver threw a Mexican guy out of the bus and then sorted him out. You don’t want to mess with her trust me

* We went to Kodak theatre and my mum sat down in a chair because she was tired. The tour guy panicked as that was the same chair Steven speigberg sat in. I had to fight my mum off so I can sit down

* Managed to have lunch in hooters and take pictures of hooters of course

* Kosta the greek hot dog guy wouldn’t leave me alone

* A guy vomited near the bus stop and just missed me

* My mum was about to donate my $100 Disel shirt to a homeless guy

* Krispy Kreme has a free donut day on Tuesdays in LA

* There are no kebab shops in LA

* We brought a suitcase to shop with. We filled our shopping in the suitcase as we wandered around 12th and 13th street

* At the airport we had to empty out an entire suitcase because they thought we had time bombs in there. My mothers presents for relatives in Turkey

* Got off at New York to switch planes and tried exchanging money but then got into a fight with the exchange woman
