Sunday Blues – many people have them. I used to have it too when
I was a kid, but as I got older, I found myself so busy that I actually looked
forward to Sundays. If you live in L.A and find yourself with
Sunday Blues, here is the perfect fun thing to do: go to Highland & Hollywood
Blvd., park at the Kodak Theater aka Dolby and take a long stroll.
Once
you step outside, the energy of the crowd is invigorating.There is a potluck of
locals and tourists, young and old, families and singles, actors in costumes –
Batman, Yoda, Michael Jackson, Superman and so on, taking photos with fans and
receiving tips in exchange.
There are lots of colorful lights, interesting buildings,
shops with knick knacks and memorabilia of the old Hollywood. Below are more
photos. I didn’t go there because I had the Sunday Blues, but because I had
plans to hang out with a friend.
It felt good to whip out my camera, and act like a
tourist. I even pretended to be a southerner, but my English/Australian/New
Zealand accent gave me away (don’t ask!).
Grauman's Chinese Theatre with celebrity hand and foot prints and signatures. I was here last week to see Gravity in 3D.
This Store is a fun place to check out. It's called Sweet, and is filled with regular and unusual
candies, T-Shirts, Key Chains and etc.
This is the section where all the disgusting candies and
gadgets are located such as Toxic Waste, Zombie Feet and Booger.
Want to customize your candy for that special B-day pal? Check
out Sticky.
Yet another section to make a candy bar. My young niece would
have a feast here :)
El Capitan, one of my favorite movie theaters. Sometimes they
have a performance before the movie starts which is quite good.
Hollywood Walk of Fame. My favorite: Billy Crystal. He is so
funny.
The first time I ate at the Hard Rock café was in London. I
remember thinking how awesome. At the time, we didn’t have one in L.A.
This one reminds of the hilarious I love Lucy episode when she
got caught stealing John Wayne's foot prints.
Sausage vendor. I’m vegetarian, but it did smell good to my
friend who is a carnivore.
Kind of like the Oscars? Well, yes and no. People are not as glamorous
;-)
The Chado tea room I heard so much about. Must try it on my next visit, but I want to first try the one in Pasadena.
