LOS ANGELES

                         LA-LA-LAND

Los Angeles is often called as the 'Creative Capital of the world' because one in every six of its residents works in a creative industry and there are more writers,filmmakers,actors,dancers and musicians living and working in Los Angeles than in any other city at any time in history!!
The city plays host to the annual Academy Awards in Hollywood neighborhood.

The Dolby theatre is a live performance auditorium in the Hollywood and Highland Centre shopping mall and entertainment complex,on Hollywood Boulevard and it's adjacent to the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Hollywood Walk of fame with the coral-pink monuments is a popular tourist destination as it attracts 10 million visitors a year and comprises over 2600 stars.

Walt Disney Concert Hall is a stunning piece of architecture!!

  Beverly Hills is home to many actors and celebrities with posh restaurants,grand mansions and expensive shopping areas!!

Rodeo Drive is probably the wealthiest and most famous shopping district in the world!!

Universal Studios is the best theme park for me and it's great for all ages!!

We bought a fast pass ticket with an extra cost which put us in front of the line at all rides..

It's expensive but it's worth it...
Harry Potter area and Water World are highlights!!

Downtown LA is the central bussiness district of Los Angeles,California.
The skyline has seen rapid growth due to improvements in seismic design standards,which has made certain building types highly earthquake-resistant.

Many of the new skyscrapers contain a housing or hotel component..

The scent of taquitos and sounds of mariachi music fill the air along Olvera Street,in the historic El Pueblo area,where shops offer an array of handmade Mexican goods!!

Santa Monica,Long beach -Queen Mary and Laguna beach are the most wonderful areas for swimming in Los Angeles..

And finally,Los Angeles zoo is a must see when in LA!!
