Had a hectic couple of days since u last heard from me. Went down to venice beach with 2 of my aussie roomates yesterday. Took about 2 hours on the bus. Was a good laugh, saw all the roller skaters and body builders on the beach. They actually have an outdoor gym on the beach...crazy! Full of nutters there though...its basically a freak show. We walked about 5 miles up to santa monica and went around the supposidly 'famous' pier (not sure why though, was pretty rubbish...just like brighton peir). Saw the red carpet ceremony for the new will smith film 'i am legend' today! So many people turned up and i some how managed to get right at the front. Saw Will Smith and Tom Cruise and shook there hands and everything....was pretty surreal. and yes tom cruise really is about 4 ft. unfortunately my camera battery died halfway through and didn't have my spares on me....doh!!
Found an awsome place to get breakfast the other day, ive had a banana pankake,apple and a fruit smoothie there for breakfast the last 3 days for only 3 pounds.
They were shooting a film outside our hostel last night, we tried getting in as extras but they had already cast.
The Aussie roomemates have gone to Mexico this morning though im gunna meet up with them in Melbourne where they live so that should be cool. They said they'll show me around.
Going to a new hostel Tommorow South L.A right by the beach where the 'O.C.' is filmed.
