Walt Disney Concert Hall is simply beautiful at night. I never had the chance to visit it during the day on my sojourn in Los Angeles as I was more kind of busy meeting busy people than sightseeing. Only on my way back to my hostel from having dinner with

What to do and see at Universal Studios in LA

The Iron Men and Women of Venice Beach
