So, I went to L.A. after leaving Chicago. On the first day, like in Chicago, I just went to the hotel to stay.
In short, Los Angeles was the best trip ever. I totally enjoyed staying there. I believe I will be back to the U.S. for vacation, conferences, meeting, or whatever. Since I have lived here for more than 2 years, I could know how to trip around. That is huge advantage.
- Santa Monica Beach.
The 2nd day, I went to Santa Monica beach. It was a perfect day for beach. I just woke up early morning and drove there and had a good time walking, eating, reading, and looking at people. Some people might want to spend here whole vacation. And I just happened to know Santa Monica is the end of route 66, total 2347 miles, amazing. On the pear, musicians are playing music instruments. Because I have nothing to do on last day in L.A., I also came here to spend some time in good mood.
- Driving in L.A.
One best thing I totally enjoyed in L.A was driving. Firstly, you may need to be careful on freeway though, once you get used to, it would be fun. I rent a car Nissan Versa, if you could, you could rent or have higher grade car. It would be more fun when you drive around L.A.
- Huntington Park.
And I did not expected to be good. Actually, Huntington park was so great, I could see many flowers and trees. Also there are a lot of gardens, Chinese, Japanese, Tropic, Australian, and desert. I saw the other part was building now. So, it should be more to come. I totally recommend you to come when you are in L.A. And also, Huntington library are showing the record of science. I was excited to see the first scientific journal “Royal Society” by Great Britain.
- SLS hotel in Beverly Hills
I have stayed SLS hotel at Beverly Hills. The services were excellent. It is expensive though, it is convenient to go to anywhere in L.A. I spend a lot of time in this pool side. And also, the bar was great.
- Universal studio Hollywood.
And I went to Hollywood universal studio. I actually just went to city walk though. I realized I need someone who can spend time with. Let’s keep it for the next time.
- Los Angeles county museum of Arts
The Los Angeles country of museum of art was so great. The picture is the road to Japanese pavilion. They have a lot of collections. I could see Korean, Japanese, American, French, Germany and lot of art from different countries. Seeing a lot of arts gave me inspirations to be creative. The collections, including Picasso, are great. You could spend whole day for just watching the collections. And also, you see? The weather was perfect.
Today, I am going back to Japan. I will take 12 hours on flight though, I like to spend on the plane. Thank you for Chicago, L.A., and U.S.A. I definitely will be back to here sometime. See you again.
