Los Angeles 2.0

This article is not going to be long because I already wrote a lot about Los Angeles in another article. You will find it under that link. I hope you will enjoy both. Los Angeles is so big that you could see so many other things.

What did I do during one little week in Los Angeles?

I went there last year so I already knew the city but I'm happy because I also made different things that I had done before. But it was my boyfriend's first time there, so I was a bit like his guide tour.

We arrived at the end of the afternoon, so we had a little bit time left to do something even if we were very tired because of the jetlag. Our housemother stays in Santa Monica, so we decided to stay in the city and visiting 3rd Street Promenade and Santa Monica Pier.

For our 2nd day in L.A., we spent time with friends. We started the day with a breakfast at Courtyard Kitchen which is really good ! After that we decided to go shopping the entire day.

Those are the Mall we went shopping :

Westfield Century city

10250 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90067, États-Unis

It is a huge Mall with so many stores that it is impossible to do all of them in one day. You will find whatever you want. What I liked about that shopping center is that it is half open-air, means that the stores were inside but the ways to go to the stores were all outside and it is very pleasant when it is sunny outside to go shopping in an open-air place and not being completely shut in.

Beverly Connection

100 N La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048, États-Unis

There you will find many big stores like Target, Nordstorm, Old Navy, Marshalls…

And this is already our 3rd day in Los Angeles and we spent our day in:

Universal Studios

I really recommend that park. Universal Studios brings you a lot of fun, has amazing decors, great live shows also with special effects. The price is around $109, I think it depends from the seasons. It is expensive, but it is really worth it and you can do a lot of things, you won't be bored, at all.

This park is dedicated as well as for children than adults. Everybody can have fun. Imagine we had the 82 years old father of our friend with us and he enjoyed it.

FUN FACT : we participated during the special effects live show, because when we were in the queue they asked us if we wanted to participate. We weren’t all very in the mood for that but at the end it was nice and we had fun.

On our 4th day we went to :

• Melrose Avenue

• Century City

We were a bit sick on that day so we weren't very productive but we still wanted to enjoy our stay and visit many places.

In the evening, we had our friend's wedding celebration, it was in the sister's house and it was very enjoyable to stay in the garden at night and party. In Switzerland, it doesn't really happen.

And then arrives the 5th day, we visited a lot :

• Hollywood Sign

• Hollywood Boulevard

• Venice Beach

We went at the AMC cinema in Santa Monica, in the evening, and watched the film Ocean's 8. I am so disappointed because I was so tired that I fell asleep and I didn't saw more than the half of the film. Of course, the reclining seats didn't help to stay awake ! I had been there with my friends during my road trip around America and I already enjoyed it then. Be careful it is very cold because of the AC.

6th and last day of our holidays:

Noam wasn’t feeling very well on that day so we decided to chill around Santa Monica and enjoy the sun. We walked one last time through 3rd street promenade.
