Los Angeles, another, pretty disappointing city

Now I believe, the bigger the city, the worst the way people treating each other.

LA is a very complicated place.
It was so huge that everywhere you go, it's FAR. And everything you see on the TV about hollywood, well... it was just .... like that only. nothing much.

We went to Beverly Hills and saw alot of Hollywood stars' property and houses but mostly only get to see how huge is the yard and how tall the is gate. wth... LOL...

Went to Universal studio and Warner Brother's studio on the same day and trust me, they were both good but it's still more recommended to go Universal, Orlando instead of the one in LA, it's way too small. We got to see the "behind the scene" of lots of familiar films and dramas. It's pretty cool but cruel at the same time as what we actually found out was, we were being fooled all the while by the "CGI"-computer-generated imaging technique which made the scene looked so real.

We took 2 hours bus and went all the way to Santa Clarita for Six Flags Magic Mountain on our final day in LA. Unfortunately, it was another disappointment for them being too commercialized and everything was just $$$$$$$. The entrance fee was comparatively very cheap for a themepark like this, but you know what? They try to squeeze all your money by not allowing outside food and drink and selling "flashpast" at very high price (even higher than the ticket price) if you want to skip all the lines and get on all the rides they have in the park. For us, you wont believe that in 5 hours time we only get to ride on 3 rides!!! 4 hours bus journey and 5 hours in the park, only made it to 3 rides. Sounds crazy huh? YEA, americans are crazy. They really made me feel that way. LOL...

However, the rides we got on were all great and worth the wait. Just that... we dont really like that kind of system if compared to Walt Disney (they are way too good)... Anyway, I'm now in Tokyo, having a very tight budget and hopefully I'll have a great trip before I landing Sg and Msia =p
