Last April I went to Los Angeles.
L.A. means for me, more than anything else, the staggering view from Beverly Hills down on the city; the downtown area around the “Mexican street” with its various tasty smells; Little Tokyo, a neighborhood that could have been used as a movie set; and finally, the Santa Monica Pier amusement park further down on the coast.
Each and every day was a hot and sunny one, and the light and wind, the people and places, and just about everything else I saw just seemed to be screaming “Los Angeles” at me. So loud it almost made me laugh.
As a matter of course, in between the various businesses I had to do I found enough time to make a few trips to the places mentioned above, so l did get my fair share of L.A. style enjoyment.
When returning to Tokyo after all that, I found the cherry blossoms already falling.
