I'm finally back in Sydney...back to the hot, sticky weather and the water restrictions. It is kind of weird being back right now, because it feels a little weird me being at home, unemployed and not travelling.
My time in LA was short...it was hot compared to the other places I visited. I was gutted to find out that every city in the US that I visited started snowing as soon as i left it. It was also nice to meet up with Scott in LA where we could spend time together doing the 'really' touristy things. We went to Universal Studios; watched a live taping of a new comedy show with Seth Green (he's really short!) - "Four Kings"; we saw the Mann's Chinese Theatre and the hollywood sign through the disgusting orange smog; and we caught the bus down to Santa Monica where we walked along the beach and strolled along the pier. It was interesting getting back downtown when we got lost in a dodgy area and tried to make a quick exist by catching a random bus...which didn't help our navigational skills much. Lucky for us we managed to walk to Sunset and found our way back.
I'm now back in Sydney and am feeling a little awkward back at home. It's nice to be back in the sunshine and to be around friends and family again. Scott is safe and well in his new London flat (in Angel).
