My recent trip to LA&LV

After a long time i am back to blogging...i really dnt knw the reason what made me to stop writing my posts......it should defnitely be my " Laziness"....recently for the christmas holidays we had a trip to West...which includes LA(los angeles),LV(Lasvegas),Hoover dam,Malibu beach in LA,Universal studios LA and Disneyland ,which is my favourite place...we thought of gng to grand canyon but my husband being the lonely driver couldnt try for it may be sometime later....

The things which amazed me in this trip goes like this....i am in Us since 1 year..all the time i am in the east ,which is pretty much cold and calm ppl around slow moving life similar to the kind of life in the hill stations in india and everything seems like organised here (eg: u find similar kind of houses well oragnized and built at almost all places)...
The first thing in the west is the temperature...its pretty much like indian weather even in winter...u have the same temperatures as in blore i guess...and the speed ..my god ...i guess most of them are from schumacher's family.....no one will be in a lane for more than a second...but they are very professional drivers...who doesnt cause any trouble to the traffic....
I thought of LA as big city similar to NY...but its a small city with lots of " Hollywood " seasoning...most of the streets and the shop names are named after celebrities and they are somehow related to hollywood....as you enter the LA the naming " Hollywood" on the hill is visible from everywhere in the city....here you can find lots of indian restuarants in each area...
When it comes to LV..its completely different since it is in middle of desert...all the way from LA to LV you dont find any place and its a complete desert..with just the freeway on both the sides..as u all know the LV is known fro the casinos....and we can find NY,Paris,Rio,sahara all the major cities being imitated here....the effiel tower of paris can be seen in my pics....

The musical fountains in front of the Bellagio casion reminded me the Brindavan garden musical fountains in Mysore..... :)..but this is amazing and it plays for 5mins every half an hour during night times.....

we had been to the malibu beach to watch the sunset...but we were late so we could see the moon instead of the sun and it was so beautiful,calm beach.....


on the way to beach,we visited the malibu hindu temple..and the entrance was pretty much like typical venkateswara swamy temple with jaya and vijaya on both the sides of the temple...and it seemed to be bit old with more nativity...

universal studios is a place worth watching for the amusements and the live stunts...one day with full entertainment...there were several shows and rides showing the shootings and live actions..its amazing....but i had been to the orlando universal studios..and personally i felt that is much better and bigger than this....
on the last day,we had been to disney land my fav place.....i love to take snaps with the toons...thats tends me more to disney....and the disney castle is amazing at the night with the fireworks....and the rides are so sweet that we are made kids again...the most amazing one was the submarine ride for meeting the Nemo and his freinds.....if you are in disney you will be the "Alice in wonderland"...its a place where the imagination comes true.....so funny n sweet....real worth to go with kids....These are all the things which i covered in my trip and i think this is the most rambled way of writing a post .... :)
just check the pics too.....
Happy new year to everyone..and i hope that i will write more posts this year.....
