Alright, I have a lot I want to get down and approximately 14 minutes in which to get it done.
Spent a few hours in Korea waiting for our connecting flight. During this time, I learned 3 things:
1. Coke DOES taste different in different countries. Specifically, it seemed to be softer, less carbonated.
2. 2000 won may sound like a lot of money, but it won't even buy you a pen.
3. There is this weird trend happening that I'm going to call "twinning" - where couples dress the same, in cute little matching tees, and sometimes whole outfits. It's kind of weird, and kind of adorable. Jason and I should try it some time.
Today was our second full day in LA (the first one was pretty much a write-off since all we did when we arrived was find food and then crash. Oh, and there's a fun story in there about the near-death experience of catching a shuttle from the airport). Yesterday we wandered around Hollywood getting a feel for the place. It reminds me of Brisbane. I think it's the smell.
We went vintage shopping, and spent hours wondering around Amoeba record store, a place that is both delightful and extremely upsetting (but only because I don't have the money to buy all the amazing things that they have). Also, we had breakfast at IHOP at the behest of Centine. Just in case she's reading, she can now sleep securely, knowing we have followed her advice. It wasn't all she said it would be, but it was alright.
Today we went to Universal Studios. We took the tour and got photos, and wandered around in the sun (don't worry, Mum, we applied sunscreen obsessively).
We kind of blew our budget for the week, pretty much entirely on food. From now on we're going to be sensible about money, and try to only buy from supermarkets and then do our own cooking at the hostel rather than eating out.
Sidenote: I now understand why America has such a problem with obesity. We had to go to FOUR different supermarkets before finding actual fresh fruit.
And before I go, here's a fun little quote from Jason about eating on a budget:
"The more I eat of what I pay for, the less I have to pay for more!"

I liked the 3 things you listed you found out, I've told people Coke tastes different in other countries, but they didn't believe me! haha
America is retarded. I swear, we sent most of our produce out the rest we waste. I heard a article on the radio about it...the store we go to in FL is pretty good though so I shouldnt complain :)
