HoLLyWood!!!

Hollywood!!! YAhoooo!!!
Before that though, I had a bad haircut recently. It was expected, so nothing surprising. Just to pre-empt everyone, in case you get a shock.
Those were the happier times.
After...
You know something's wrong when the pictures you take are nicer than the postcards on sale here
There's no way one can get up close to the hollywood sign. Trust me.
Those with their own transport drive around the neighbourhood to try to get a view of it.
See the tower beside the sign?

It shouts out warnings to people who try to hike up to the hollywood sign. "Get back down now or you may face arrest". Yea, that's what it blasted out when we hiked up! This was the closest I could get to. Didnt zoom this camera at all. Totally worth it though, the view was breathtaking!!!! An experience that will never be forgotten
Apparently, a check on wiki shows that  a "$100,000 security system featuring video surveillance and motion detection" was installed to prevent vandalism of the sign
No trespassers for good reason too.
The streets of hollywood. It's like a extended version of orchard road, with attractions lined up on both sides, with stars engraved on the pavement.



All sorts of people line the streets here.



Crazy street buskers

Went into Madame Tussad's wax museum. Spot the Ironman
Love the quote.
Those wax figures look fine, that is, until we entered...
