Los Angeles, California

Upon touchdown to Los Angeles, I would think that this is the most boring city that I going to visit so far in US. After consolidating all my travel photos, I found out that I took the most picture while I was in Los Angeles than in any other places. Los Angeles is a very large city and getting around would definately require their train & bus service. Their public transportation system is quite efficient and it covers most part of the city. With 5 USD for daily trip ticket, I can travel virtually everywhere in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is the home of the rich & famous. Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Michael Jackson, Universal Studios, Disneyland & Six flag magic mountain. Anyway, I choose to have visit the free attractions here. Its not bad and 4 days I have in Los Angeles is just barely enough. In order to visit whole Disneyland & Universal Studios would require at least 3 days.

The tour guide for the Walt Disney concert hall is good! Unfortunately, can't take photo in the concert hall as the camera shutter sound will disturb their training.
