USA 1989: Los Angeles - City of the Stars...

This trip to LA was made after my 2-week Reserve Management Seminar in New York organised by J.P. Morgan. Our initial plan to visit San Francisco was cancelled because of time constraint. We ended up staying in Los Angeles for a week and had the opportunity to rent a car and visit San Diego Sea World and Zoo. We even arranged a trip to cross the USA-Mexico border and visited the cowboy town of Tijuana.

No trip to Los Angeles is complete without a visit to Hollywood. Hollywood beckons tourists with landmarks like TCL Chinese Theatre and star-studded Walk of Fame. Highlights include Paramount Pictures, historic music venues like the Hollywood Bowl, and Dolby Theatre, home of the Oscars. Scenesters can choose from improv comedy clubs, retro-cool bars and velvet-roped nightclubs. Locals frequent eateries in nearby Thai Town.

When you visit Los Angeles, you’ll discover that much of the vibrant life here seems to thrive somewhere between reality and dream. This alluring place is where trends are born. Greater Los Angeles embodies everything that makes the United States a great place to visit: beautiful scenery, world-famous attractions and a wonderful selection of activities. Among others, be sure to visit Disneyland in Anaheim, Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood , Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and the many picturesque coastal communities including Long Beach, Santa Monica and Newport Beach.

In your arms a simple peace, 

Haunts my mind of separation. 

Beyond my body’s own existence 

Did I learn my destination?

With my promise always breaking 

Soon may come the day. 

When honest words are spoken, 

Please send me on my way.
