Downtown LA

Winnie & Brownie says:

Once again the long-awaited Saturday has arrived. It is time to go to Chinatown to shop for our groceries... After our breakfast, we prepare to go out to a nearby bus-stop to take Dash F to 7th Street Figueroa to transfer.
Here we are at Downtown LA...

Initially, we have thought of going to Chinatown for our lunch as well as to shop for our groceries. However, after reaching 7th Street Figueroa, we wait for quite a long time for the bus, however it does not arrive. Hence, first thing first, we are hungry and its lunch-time, so we go to Macy's Plaza and have Chinese food... Seems like we always eat Chinese food, but of course, since we can eat Western food anytime and anywhere we want... But not Chinese food!!

After filling our stomach, it is time to go "look around"... this statue is a mohican and is displayed outside a boutique that sells cigar...
This is the still scenary near Macy's Plaza (as it is a business district, hence there are a lot of skyscrapers around)...


Vehicle owned by the super-rich...


We come across a filming of the latest X-box promotion, and it's interesting to watch a real-life commercial being filmed. The roads are closed by LAPD, and there are crews to advise people to stay slightly away, so as not to affect the shooting. But being Americans (that means freedom to do anything), who really cares the crews... Anyway this is what we see and snap... Meantime keep your eyes on the goggle box for the edited X-box promotion...

The cameras...

The girls...

And the man.
The raw footage...

The cupid covered by glass...
We buy a little blanket for our nephew,
but can only bring back in 1.5 yrs later...
