First impressions
If you've read much of this you might gather that I don't like big cities too much. Something of a problem given both that I'm in one at the moment and that I'm going to work in two of them - London and New York.
So, when I arrived into LA I wasn't all that smitten. It's a very big place, but pretty sparse, you really need a car to live here. I think it covers something like 1000 square miles altogether. There are some stereotypes about America which are true (so far) there is as much fast food as you can eat, the freeways are wide and some people wear the funniest things. In this internet cafe earlier was an elvis, and I walked past two wonderwomen just now. Very strange but quite cool.
As is typical, I now know all the best places to go just before I'm flying out. I spent way too long in the travel agents booking my flights, and the woman there gave me a handwritten map of LA with all her favourite places on it and tips of where to go. Looks like I'll have to come back through this way at some point!
Right, time to go. I've been told to check out "In-n-Out", a fast food restaurant California style and to ask for whatever I have, "animal style". Lord knows what that means, but we'll soon find out!
