Los Angeles
Los Angeles. Dream city for the film-addicted, one could say. After four days in LA I am no longer sure. Of course, Hollywood Boulevard or Sunset Boulevard are quite interesting. But after watching Chinese theater and studying the many stars I thought: this is it. There's nothing more to see. (Of course I hadn't seen '24' yet)
For me, Universal studios and Disneyland were the best things we did in LA. You shouldn't miss either park. Forget all your problems and enjoy the Jurrasic Park ride or another of countless things to do.
What else to do: drive through Beverly Hills, visit one or two malls and then leave LA and visit more interesting places...
1-2. Chaos
Snapshots from the Waterworld Show at Universal Studios. The film may have been bad,
but the action show was worth waiting for an hour and suffering 100 degrees.
3. Watergame
I photographed the Jurassic Park Ride from all angles and with all possible exposure
times. My favourite picture is this, taken with an exposure of 1/2000 second
4. Danger
Just kidding, this dinosaurier was rather peaceful (and rather mechanic)
5. Faith
Whoever can tell me the name of this creature (on the left) please do so. I don't
have a clue. The person on the right? That is me.
6. Lion King
Even Michael, a convinced Elton-John-hater, enjoyed the Lion King parade. Probably
much more than the poor souls in the costumes. God it must have been hot in there.
7./8. Goofy/Donald
Everyone I told that the meeting with Donald and family was the highlight of the
first week, laughed at me. But it is true nevertheless!
9. Treehouse
I don't know who lives in there, but he/she/it shouldn't be too big :-)
10. One Leg
Conclusion of a grand day, the Electrical Parade on the main street
11. Size comparison
Michaels hand und Arnolds paw. Funny
