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.

San Francisco tourist attraction summary

San Francisco is a really beautiful city. With much activities going on and it is on a bay area, there are much attraction to see. When come to San Francisco, one will not miss to step on the Golden Gate Bridge. Walking to the bridge is a challenge for me as it is quite far and the strong wind when on the bridge itself. Moreover, I do this at night! The bridge is not only famous for its amazing abilities to withstand strong wind and strong current from the Pacific Ocean below, but it was one of the most famous places to commit suicide too. When walking on the bridge, can see that there are many phones along the way as a suicide prevention hotline.

San Francisco does have its own problem. In some area, there are too many beggars and makes a place no safe to visit. I do wonder why the authorities there didn't take any action on those beggars.


Flying to San Francisco from Las Vegas by Virgin America.

Good entertainment. Can even chat with other passengers & ordering drinks.

Nice lightning to create ambient mood.
