Los Angeles

gonna keep this one short because I hate the place.

There we go. The end.

Ok well it's not that bad. This was nice.



In fact it's the most expensive street in the world.

To be honest though, I've learnt that there's always something good about everywhere you visit. You've just got to find it. Ok, well that is true. But it almost doesn't hold for LA. Oh and it rained! For the first time in a whole year!

I managed to complete number 50 on the list of things to do before you die; that is, cross out the name of someone famous who has a Holywood star, and then use the same chalk to write you own name over it. Then take a photo and run off without getting arrested. Didn't get arrested and the chalk didn't work all that well, but at least it's one more done! Just randomly I asked a guy on the street before hand where I could buy some chalk. He eventually directed me to the local stationary shop, but not after getting well confused and thought I was wanting cocaine!!!! Crazy. Must have looked well dodge

After


Hollywood itself. Completely different to how I expected it. LA is a sprawling mess of traffic james lifeless streets. Wasn't a fan at all. Give me Yoho or Glacier National Parks any day!

Kiritimati receives just one flight a week. The pacific atoll is only 138 square miles in area - but 70% of that is lagoons! It is 2,015 miles from Tarawa, capital of the Republic of Kiribati; 1,335 miles from Honolulu; 4,000 miles from Sydney, Australia, and 3,250 miles from San Francisco. It lies between longitude 157 degrees 10' west and 157 degrees 34' west and latitudes 1 degree 42' north and 2 degrees 3' north. It is 145 miles north of the equator.
