Speaking of people... So many of my friends told me how friendly Americans are and if I'm honest I'd been bracing myself for the big cheesy smiles and the "have a nice day!"s. How wrong was I. People here really are just friendly and happy and want to help!
In London if it's late at night and a creepy looking guy smiles at me I do that thing most London girls have done at some point: I reach for my keys and position them so one is sticking out between my knuckles (as IF I would ever actually stab anyone with a key! Ha) In LA if it's late at night and a creepy looking guy smiles at me he apparently works in the mall and wants to point me to Walmart. (Lesson learnt? Shops here are open really late)
I've extended my stay in Los Angeles by another day because I'm in a nice hostel (with a whole dorm to myself today) and I really want to get my body clock sorted before I go up the coast to stay with people I've not seen in 25 years and fall asleep in the middle of dinner (that's a treat I keep reserved for the people I see every week!)
