"The Long Wait - Part 1: Hollywood!"

The immigration went smoothly, surprisingly! I kena the 2nd interview thing (will kena everytime you go in after u have the record there), but everything was alright.

It was very cold in LA, about 16 degrees. Luckily I got a jacket. After rechecking in my luggage, I went out searching for the shuttle bus to the Metro and onwards to....





HOLLYWOOD!





Yeah, this is the highlight of my trip here...........
