City tour is always one of the humdrum activities at oversea. Yet it provides quick and easy snaps of the most memorable ruins and places at the city. This trip to L.A brought me in a good harvest though it was so rush. It took me throughout America’s most exciting city. Nevertheless, there’re still many places yet to be covered on my next trip.
(1) Music Centre : Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion is home of the Los Angeles Opera and one of the three theaters in the Los Angeles Performance/Music Center. It is absolutely beautiful with its soaring ceilings, marble floors, and chandeliers. There's a lot more to Dorothy Chandler than meets the eye. Once again, I'm not an opera type of person. But then, for sure I will appreciate how beautiful downtown can be given the right circumstances in a great evening plus the awesome weather. It's definitely a wonderful way to spend an evening! There are nice café, seating area, and water fountain to walk around outside the building. I believe people at L.A for sure they love this place. Not only because of its great seats and nice spacious atmosphere from the acoustic, it also allows for an opportunity to dress up and fancy for an evening!
(2) Mann’s Chinese Theatre & The Walk of Fame in Hollywood

The Walk of Fame
One of the most popular sights in Hollywood, Mann's Chinese Theater is best-known for the hand- and footprints in its forecourt. This theater is also one of the most beautiful and best-preserved of the movie palaces from Hollywood's golden era. With its Chinese theme and gold- and- red decor, the interior often upstages the films it screens.
The famous "stars" on Hollywood Boulevard are officially called the Walk of Fame. Heading east on Hollywood Boulevard (toward the Wax Museum), cross Highland Avenue. The Walk of Fame covers the sidewalks along Hollywood Boulevard, and it's a wonder more people don't run into each other as they walk with eyes downward, looking for favorite stars.
(3) Hollywood
The Hollywood Sign sits on MountLee, the tallest peak in Los Angeles. It measures 450 feet long and each letter is 45 feet tall. Some years ago, the hardy hiker could make it to the base of the Hollywood Sign, but nowadays, it's fenced in to keep out the curious, and guarded by a high-tech alarm system. You'll have to be content to see it from around town, and these are a few of the best places to see (and photograph) the Hollywood Sign.
(4) Beverly Hills
It's a fun idea, getting to gawk at the places where Hollywood stars and glitterati live and maybe catch a glimpse of a leading lady walking the dog or a leading man mowing the lawn. But, many of today's Hollywood stars don't live in Hollywood, or Beverly Hills or any of the other neighboring areas. Some live up in Malibu, or down in OrangeCounty, but many others have homes thousands of miles from Los Angeles. The ones who do have homes treasure their privacy, often erecting tall fences and planting dense hedges to shield their homes from prying eyes. The tour bus took us around and highlighted its interesting story. They tell you up front that they're going to respect current residents' privacy, but they do dish up generous helpings of tales about those who used to live there.
(5) Rodeo Drive

See where the stars shop in exclusive stores! The most popular Rodeo Drive activities are window-shopping and people-watching, both less damaging to the pocketbook than its intended activity: shopping!!! This shopping area is surprisingly accessible, even if all you want to do is window-shop.
(6) Farmer’s Market
Over seventy years later, the Farmers Market is still one of the most popular sights in Los Angeles, an official Los Angeles Cultural and Historical Landmark drawing over 3 million visitors a year. It retains a folksy, comfortable quality, serves some great food at reasonable prices and it's unparalleled for people-watching. It centers on a landscaped park and a dancing fountain. It's become a popular spot for shopping and dining, and its lively crowds and street grid layout making it feel like an old-fashioned downtown.
How quickly, with support and structure, finally I’ve got one belongs to mine. I take the time to browse through the fascinating of the world over, allow myself to stray into whatever pleasures lure me and linger as long as I love… they’re all translated into a thought and verbalized, noted down, shared and developed… and before you could blink here is my nascent blog being created with a small irritant embeds itself to charm and to excite you and I…
