Who said you can't explore LA because of all the crazy, impatient, law breaking, maniacs that just want to run you off the road??
Since my friend came to visit me this weekend, we hit up the Century City Mall, Santa Monica Pier, and ended our day on Sawtelle all by BUS! Given, we had to search for the bus stops and then wait for a bus to arrive (most of the time they were not on time), I still had fun exploring via the bus system. I think it's just nice to not have to worry about traffic or hitting a person/car. And certainly, it feels nice not to have drivers honk at me for driving too slowly and slowing down to give the right of way to a pedestrian.
Century City Mall wasn't all that jazz. My brother told me it was so upscale and everyone gets so dressed up to go shopping there but I found it to be a very typical mall. Not that big, or at least, not that many stores that interested me. At least it was pretty easy to navigate around this mall.
Santa Monica Pier was amazing! I really like the pier area and the street shopping along the beach! There was another mall there and a lot of window shopping along the streets that parallel the beach! There was some sort of Sri Lanka street fair going on so a ton of street venders (FOOD BOOTHS) and a stage set up for entertainment. It was very nice to get out and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the street fair!
Sawtelle I've been on many times and tried a lot of different restaurants here. I think this area because it's very concentrated with a variety of different types of cuisines. We ended up going to a Japanese curry house (which I think this area has the most of).
Classic Movies:
As of recent old, classic movies have struck my curiosity. Everyone's always making references to them and raving about how iconic some of these movies are, so I took the liberty to watch some of them just to see what all the fuss is about. I started with The Graduate and more recently I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's. I'm very much baffled as to why they are so iconic and amazing. Throughout most of the movie, I felt very bored and not entertained. And I found the theme and content to these two movies largely weird and....just weird. Some of the scenes to the movies were just so random. I don't know if I am just not trying hard enough to understand the movies or if these movies are just beyond my time or if I'm just too spoiled with modern day movies that dazzle you with CG, but I'm really not appreciating what classic movies have to offer me. Maybe I'll try a few more...but I really doubt I'm going to reach an epiphany with these movies.
Love:
There is so much truth in Shakespeare's words:
"The course of true love never did run smooth", "Love goes by haps; Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps", "Love sought is good, but given unsought is better"
Well said, well said.
