Totally 80’s Night at the Hollywood Bowl

September 30, 2012 by popnea

The Go-Go’s, The Psychedelic Furs, The Motels and Bow Wow Wow played the bowl, I did not have very high expectations, but it turned out to be a great night! We sneaked up to the more expensive seats as well, which made the whole thing even better!

I Am American!

September 22, 2012 by popnea

I never thought to much about me getting dual citizenship, it was always just something that would be a practical thing to do, it never really meant that much to me. But today during my citizenship ceremony and when I had to swear my oath, it really hit me that it is a pretty big thing. It is probably one of the biggest things that I have done in my life.

I went out for a few drinks to celebrate and then my room mate had put a McDonalds meal by my door when I got home at the wee hour in the morning, so awesome!

Now, which continent is next?

Roxette at the Gibson Amphitheatre

We went to see Roxette at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal Studios, it was awesome! Last time (and the only time) I saw them I think I was 6 or 7 years old. I thought the show was gonna be a little dull, but it was actually really good! I guess their songs are a part of my blood stream, just like ABBA.

Tour the Fat

Tour the Fat made it to Los Angeles, New Belgium Brewing Co’s way of promote the beer and support the bicycle community.

A bunch of hipsters and beautiful Downtown LA in the background.

There were a bunch of live performances, a lot of them were super weird, but super fun!

San Diego Day 2

September 10, 2012 by popnea

We had a few hours to stroll around San Diego in the morning before my bus was leaving back to Los Angeles.

They had a long distance swimming competition that was pretty exciting to look at. I don’t think I would have gotten very far if I were to compete in one of these competitions.

Julian

September 9, 2012 by popnea

We took a day trip today from San Diego to a small gold mine town called Julian, it’s a really really tiny town with just one street, but it is famous for the apple pies.

I have never been much of a pie person and I am always suspicious to vanilla ice cream, but since this is what they are famous for, I had to try it. It was ok, but I am still not convinced.
