Cant remember too much about today, Jet lag has won!! Slept in till after midday as it was cloudy and rainy!! Had a look around the town and the shops. They are all designer shops, Macy's, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Tiffany's all like that. Bought a rough guide for California to plan the last leg of our Tour of Duty!
One thing thats strange is that there seems to be a very high percentage of Japanese tourists here. I bet 8 out of 10 people you pass on the street are Japanese. I cant work out why there are so many! The shops? Pearl Harbour? Heather reckons its just because its probably the closest place to Japan for them to come for a holiday. A lot of the restaurants and shops are set up for the Japanese with Japanese signs and menu's. Weird man! Forgive and forget I guess!!!!!!
Watched a bit of cable TV - which actually makes my teeth hurt!! Its painful man! We have 34 channels and about 3 of them are watchable. The rest are constant loops of paid broadcasts, 1/2 hour long adverts for steak knives, 15 minute long adverts for prescription drugs, burger adverts, Judge Judy show, Judge David show, Judge who ever show (I've counted 6 different Judge someone shows all set in a court room sorting out petty $50 arguments between neighbours - pathetic) Dont get me started on the talk shows, the late show, the late late show, the late late late show, David Letterman, Jimmy Falon, Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno, dozens of them - all total Gash!!!!
One saving grace is that House seems to be revered as a small god over here and is on four times a day - quality!! After that there's The Simpsons, Family Guy, Friends and Tool Time to save American tele some face!!!
God Bless the BBC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please forgive any wayward, intolerable, gloomy things I may have said above. I dont know where I am, what day it is and why the sun is out at night time! Apologies!
