Day 12 - Friday 7th December 2012

So today we traveled down to the fashion district in LA and visited the Santee Alley Markets. All the stalls and stores reminded me a lot of Vietnam. All the stalls and stores were close together, the sidewalks was busy with people and the streets was also busy with cars. We walked around the streets and towards Santee Alley Markets. There was a lot of variety of products that were sold at a low price such as jewellery, shoes, hats, scarves, etc.  We walked through the Santee Alley Markets and it just felt like an endless alley of stores. All the stores that I walked past, I couldn't help myself but walk into every single store. Thats just how I go shopping, thats just me.

So we must have walked around till approximately 5.00 pm and we all completely hungry. So we all decided to go eat Korean BBQ for only $9.99.  However when we finally arrived to the restaurant we could not find any parking so we had drive around and around for a while. We were lucky to find a parking spot on the side street and walked to the restaurant. By the time we got to the restaurant all we wanted to do was start eating and get food into our tummy. My sister and aunty didn't quite eat a lot, so it was just down to my cousin and me. Between the four of us we managed to eat four plates of different types of meat, and side dishes.

After we finished eating we headed home, but on our way home we found out that there was a compulsory mass. Because of the late notice of the mass we had to rush through the freeway to make sure that we were not late to mass. Luckily, we did make it on time but the drive there was again the scariest experience ever because the drivers at LA are all very reckless. There was several situations that we could have been in a car accident.

After church we made our way home and after a long day, all I wanted to do was to hope into bed.
