Still Jet-lagged and with only 2-3 hours of sleep under my belt it was a very slow start to the day. At about 11am I walked to Wilshire blvd (main road that connects downtown with Santa Monica), caught a bus and arrived at Santa Monica. I wondered around for an hour before finding a supermarket and grabbing some lunch. I took my lunch down to the pier and them sat, ate, enjoyed the buskers music and took in the serenity. Loads of weird, whacky and strange characters around and very different to anything back at home - kind of nice though. After lunch I walked along the beach walkway to Venice Beach. Now this place is crazy - here you find people from absolutely all walks of life, selling crap, performing, hanging out and getting drunk. Anyone can fit in here and it looks like anything goes, I had strange and weird people coming up to me asking me random crap, trying to sell me s*** and confuse me with their random ramblings. I walked back to the pier and caught a bus back to my hosts house which was far from easy (about a 1.5 hour walk and a 1.5 hour bus journey) but was good in that I got to do some serious people watching and sleep a little on the bus. When I arrived back Rong Rong and I cooked dinner and ate some very typical Chinese food, we chatted a bit and then Rong Rong had to get back to her studies.
