We have returned the car, packed our bags, counted our economical damages and said good bye. I'm off to NY in a few hours and brother is gong to hang out with the double named character who has been very hard to get a hold off until now. I think LA was something of a let down, might have to do with failure to meet any of our contacts here and also the inaccessibility of the city it self, it is so spread out you do not just benefit from a car, it is the bare minimum. A helicopter would be beneficial. Also we were tired and probably needed to take some time off and just relax and watch Swedish television after all the Lego-hunting. I would have loved to get some party going but without local connections that is very hard on the boarder of meaningless. And with the negative element of someone who hates it, the idea of even trying makes me a bit sick. Who knows I might come back some day and then LA might try to redeem herself, but I am not sure about it.
With the aftertaste I understand why everyone I ever talked to about this city with were so reluctant. It is a bit sad that such a big city can attract this bad reputation and no-one is willing to spill the beans. Maybe because their experience has been as intangible as ours? Usually when I visit a city my friends in the area make some effort to meet up. That happening here seem impossible. Just like one woman told us: the traffic situation make everyone reluctant to just meet up and hang or have a dinner even though it is really close the queues stop spontaneity.
