I thought me and the wife saw quite a bit in the time we had, I did like some things about LA:

1. No Smoking, anywhere!
2. Excellent vegaterian and vegan choices.
3. Weather was nice, 65F beats 15F and snowing any day of the week.
4. Close proximety to the sea which I do miss.
5. Tonnes of dogs being walked by healthy owners.

BUt still a dissapointment, I guess I was expecting more glitz and glamor and suppose I had built up my hopes too high. On the plus side I did give my wife her first "Cleveland Steamer" which was kind of fun.

Well I don't mean to offend anyone with my veiws of LA if you live there and like it great, I was dissapointed. I have visited several large cities in the US, Chicago, New York, Boston, Cleveland, Seattle and Miami and LA comes right at the bottom of that pile to be honest.
I didn't think much of L.A. either but kept the wife happy by cannibalising some school children, setting some old people on fire and faeces diving in the sewers.

Got mine from Rite Aid....they're made by Hershey...thus the similarity to a dump.

Target here I come!

They sell Cadbury's Dark Choc mini eggs now....they're yummy.

Talking of Target I saw that they are selling Boots No.7 cosmetics in there. http://www.target.com/gp/browse.html...8&node=1042026

I have no idea if they are good but might be of interest to some of the women here
