LA Vaca Day 2

We woke up early on the second day.  Day two was Little Tokyo and ticket pick-up for Anime Expo.

We didn’t eat breakfast when we woke up.  Instead, we figured out how to get to Little Tokyo and ate there.  I have to admit, Little Tokyo was one of my favorite places out of all the trips.  Like Chinatown, they have Japanese styled buildings in a plaza.  There, they had multiple restaurants, cafes and store.  It was much busier than Chinatown.  We ate at the first place we came across and it was really good.  Afterwards, we walked around.  There was a really cute macaroon shop and we bought a few to try.  Right across was one of those cute Asian stores.  My friend ended up buying a bento box.  I had to walk away from the stuffed animals.

LA Vaca Day 1

Recently, I’ve returned from the glorious city of Los Angeles.  Not that it wasn’t fun, but I’ll be honest, LA is simply not my city.  In the end, I’m too much of a New Yorker.  Still, it’s an experience I can check off my list.  It won’t be the first place on my list of places to visit again, but I wouldn’t be opposed to returning for a few days.

I arrived at LAX with my best friend at around 9 in the morning.  The first things I noticed was the palm trees of course.  Don’t see those in NY.  We checked into this cute little hotel called the Ritz Milner.  If you’re looking for a 5 star hotel with room service and a pool and a gym, this isn’t it.  However, if you are looking for a quiet place that’s clean and friendly for an affordable price, you’ll love it here.  The rooms were nice and clean and they have a continental breakfast downstairs everyday.  It’s just danishes, toast, and fruit, but hey, free food!  The only think is that you can’t get extra towels.  When they clean your room, they basically take your towels, wash them, and return them.
