Culver city and downtown (with some samosas thrown in)

We took a trip to Culver City on Saturday, which used to be home to the original Hollywood Studios and where films like The Wizard of Oz and Rebecca (one of my faves) were filmed. Sony Pictures/Columbia are still based here.

An added bonus was finding quite a few indian shops in the area, as well as a place called "Samosa House", where we enjoyed some really tasty 'chaat' dishes.

We then decided to take the metro rail to Downtown LA. It took about 30 mins and for $5 for a day pass it's not expensive. We were pleasantly surprised. Downtown LA has a very 'New York' feel about it, with the tall buildings, street vendors and general hustle and bustle you don't see in other parts of LA (because everyone's in their car of course).

On Sunday, while walking around Santa Monica, we walked past a used car lot which featured the Ghostbusters car! (well, a copy, but an exciting moment nonetheless.) 


We're still on the hunt for an apartment but have some promising leads through the 'craigslist' website. And I have volunteered to do some website editing for a children's charity based in Santa Monica, while my work permit comes through, so will keep you all posted on that. Until next time..."Busting makes me feel gooood..."
