Almost completed the LA leg of the trip.
I'm just about getting used to the layout of the suburbs/streets etc.
and the public transport system...

Once you get on a bus, its not any worse than a bus in Australia, its very similar in fact. However they don't even bother posting a timetable anywhere, so you could be waiting a while.

Yesterday, I followed up Universal Studios with a longer, more personalized and in depth tour of Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank (for those of you playing along at home, presumably with some sort of Los Angeles County Map and very little to do)

Today, I managed to locate some higher culture in LA, the Getty Center.
I actually spent just as long looking at the architecture and gardens as the art galleries inside.

It's a massive structure on top of a big hill with an amazing 360 degree view of LA.

As I was leaving, a mother taking her young child into the gallery said: "Now we're going to get some culture", to which the child replied "do they have food?"

As some people may know, I have a limited knowledge of art, and would probably have been that kid about 10 years ago.

Nevertheless, I went on a couple of tours including one on Impressionism, and saw the special exhibits on Degas and Courbet.


I have have now had my culture fix until I get to New York.
