Los Angeles

L.A. , Los Angeles, doesn’t seem so special. It’s exactly the same as other places. In fact it seems even more so ordinary. The subway was convenient. I went to a lot of museums. They left an impression on me. I found them weird and wonderful. They are obsessed more with lifestyle than any other things in the world. I went to the Hollywood museum. It was so fun I couldn’t wait to come back and write about it. I was searching for a type of influencer cultures. But strangely I didn’t find any. People just lived like else where. LAPD were everywhere. I went to erewhon. It’s an expensive supermarket. I got a smoothie. It tasted really healthy. I could almost taste peptides. I think that’s a popular thing in Los Angeles. The houses were also very beautiful. It looked really southern to me. Etc.
