Los Angeles Trip 21-24Jun Part 2

Day 2- started with driving to Griffith Park Observatory for the hollywood sign, actually the sign can also be viewed from the Highland mall..





Griffith Park Observatory..8am+ in morning..still as hot!





Hollywood sign










We drove to chinatown after farmers market breakfast. It was quite a long drive and got lost over a few turn, and finally reach the chinatown...My goodness, it's even more lau yar than daddy's hometown ...it look very run down, no maintanence...After some search, we managed to find a proper place for dim sum...but the restaurant don't have air con..aiyo! It's at least 40C outside loh, luckily some of the dim sum are not bad...but couldn't eat much since so hot..hehe








After that, we drove over to anaheim about 30mins drive..and checked into hotel and zonk out..Then, visited the downtown disney, and had dinner, finally back to downtown disney to view the fireworks.






The fireworks at disneyland is everyday event..It's call "Remember...Dreams Come True" Fireworks Spectacular. It was pretty nice..but the next night when we watch it at Disneyland Main Street..the effect was magical. The fireworks show comes with story telling, music effect, and changing color of the castle...No words can describe how beauty that moment is...



But Jared don't like fireworks, he got scared easily with the pong sound..the moment fireworks starts he ask to go home...Pek chek..hehe

Los Angeles Trip 21-24Jun Part 1

I was really stressed up by this LA trip, didn't book anything till I came here..and together with taking care of Jared, cooking and still need to find time to research for the trip..quite tough..Glad that it went well though.

I knew way before we go that LA will be hot and keep suggesting to change location to San Francisco, but daddy think since we have been there, no point going there anymore. The weather was around 80-100F, approx 25-34degree all the time we were there. Hollywood area is hotter at about 90-100F, while anaheim 80-90F. Their weather is more humid, so most time it really felt like being in Singapore.

We've become more and more steady in term of packing, we only start pack after midnight after Jared slept, then leave the house at 6am for the 8.30am flight..hehe..so in the end we miss the toothbrush and my contact lens solution..So I had to wear sun glass on top of my normal glasses on 2nd day onwards hehe.

Their sun is very bright one, so glaring for the whole day till at least 6pm+..To make things worst, the malls are open air, other than those branded shops Gap, American eagle have sufficient aircon, the rest like souvenier shop along Hollywood, KFC, MacD in LA does not have aircon???!!...I couldn't believe it loh!

Hollywood & Highland Mall on hollywood area

Kodak Theathre

Walk of Fame, and Jared always looks gloomy and in his long sleeve pyjama, we carried him from bed to the airport, so didn't change him..Reached there hotel is not ready for us to check in.....

Ghee smile from Jared at Beverly Hills area. After checked in we went around driving at Rodeo drive, Bel-air to look at high end shopping and big massionate..the houses look real cool.

Rodeo drive views from car, difficult to find parking, too hot to walk..hehe..

After that, we drove to Santa Monica, their famous beach. Couldn't believe it can be so crowded..I've never seen such a big crowd on beach else where before..And it's under big hot sun somemore..Jared slept through the whole time we were at Santa Monica beach. Then we continued the drive to Venice beach, couldn't find parking(legal or illegal ones)...all of them required US10-15 parking fee...so we didn't get off the car..

Grauman Chinese Theathre

That's all we did for day 1..I think hollywood is really no big deal..hehe..
