02/09/2006: "Up up and Away"

Having booked the tickets over 6 months ago, the time is finally here. Im off to tinseltown for the next 10 days on private business + Holiday. I have booked a hotel in hollywood, near sunset boulevard so i have easy access to LA's bar & restaurant scene. I will take the opportunity to enjoy LA's night life and do all the touristy things. I will pay a visit at Universal Studios (though everyone's is advising me otherwise) and most certainly I'll be visiting the renowned Viper Room. I may try to fit a Lakers game in there if I find the time . I am travelling very light as I plan to do a lot of shopping in the states. I have booked a car for the following week for 3 days although im slightly worried since i have not driven at the other side of the road before. I guess i should be alright with an automatic. My friend A.N. is having his viva examination tommorow, so i wish him all the best (although im sure it is a mere formality).
