 If anyone out there reading this resides in LA or knows it very well, I'd like your advice.
I'm trying to book accommodation and so far I have a choice of staying in either Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Venice Beach. So far the accommodation in Hollywood sounds the most attractive. Close to bars, clubs, walks of fame, and of course the Hollywood sign. Plus the hostel offers free shuttle bus services to the beaches. I'd obviously like to be in a central hub of LA. That is, if a 'center' of LA actually exists. I want to do a wide range of things: see museums, night life, and other things that tickles the fancy. And also, I'd like to know where the Korean Americans hangout Suggestions most welcome!! Also other things like safety, especially at night as I love nightlife. BTW, I've got my tix, finally. Dates & Itinerary: 17 Apr 08 - 21 Apr: Seoul. (cheapest flight from Sydney to LA involves a stopover in Seoul. Made it a couple of days while I was at it) 21 Apr 08 - 5 May: Los Angeles for a week, San Francisco, possibly Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon 5 May 08 - 2 June: Mexico, starting in Mexico City (the D.F homie!) 2 June 08 - 27 June: Back to USA, from LA travelling east. Notable cities: DC, Philadelphia, NY, Chicago 27 June 08 - 18 Jul: Canada. Toronto, Montreal, Nova Scotia. Not sure about heading west. Flights were on the expensive side. 18 Jul 08 and onwards: Back down to Boston to catch a flight to Dublin and then to London. For some strange reason it works out cheaper this way. Otherwise a Toronto - London direct one way costs $1200???? versus $450. strange.. Also it is cheaper than flying NY - London direct. |
