sights and interesting facts

Los Angeles - this is not simply a gigantic
metropolis, but a monstrous union of 168 cities, where live more than 13
million people. An area, with the size of the German Federal country
Schleswig-Holstein, including for example Hollywood
and Beverly Hills but as well the fine sandy
Californian beaches with attractive seaside ressorts like Santa
Monica or Venice Beach, the so-called
"muscle beach" - a place for intensive fitness training. We were most impressed
with the dimension of the city and the terrific traffic system. There are
more than 1600 miles city highway. Once we passed a place, where 5 highways
cross and the guide said, we just would ride in the 6th storey! All
in all very interesting and exciting sites, but not places to live...
Hollywood / Mann's
Chinese Theater (Gauman's ~)

 A
special highlight was the experience of old Hollywood
with its loud colors and the crazy, outsized advertising. While visiting
all the famous places we also walked along the "Walk
of Fame". The famous sidewalk fixes with more than 2000
stars from brass the names of the Great in the show business and is leading
right to the Mann's Chinese Theater,
Hollywood's most famous and exotic cinema, where all the famous Hollywood
stars left their Hand- and footprints as well as autographs - just see
below. You can walk around and compare the size of your hands and feet...

Beverly Hills
At Beverly Hills we tried to have a look at
life in this paradise of the rich, where is allowed, whatever is pleasing.
We found dreamlike properties with exotic and sometimes weird looking houses,
hidden behind walls and hedges and marvelled at the wealth of ideas and
variety of creations. |
