33 The flight to USA was delayed five hours, and when I finally got on the plane it took 10.5 hours. I booked into the hostel I was staying at, and asked where Hollywood Boulevard was. The man working there said it was literally at the top of the road. It was not what I was expecting at all. I was expecting it to be really glamourous but it was a complete dump and homeless people everywhere. It was really good though to the see the walk of fame, you would not know most of the people's names in the stars untill you got closer to the busier part. It was my first night and I was jet lagged so only had a couple of beers and went to bed. Got a bang on the door round 4am, As I opened it, it was the LAPD asking us if we had heard or seen anything as there had just beed a fight and one of the people got his head run over by a car. Crazy first night!!
There was a tour with the hostel which goes all around celebritys houses in Beverly Hills. It was mental. Dustan Hoffmans old house is on the same road as Marilyn Monroe's old house, which is in Snoop Dog's road, which is near Michael Jackson's house. As we got by MJ's house, his gate opened and a car pulled out. We thought it was MJ but it was only his security guard who said hold tight. We waited around fifteen minutes and he never came so we moved on. Then the road opposite is where Ben Stiller lives, who lives opposite Dr Phil. A little bit further up the road is where Brad Pitt and Jenifer Aniston used to live, and Jack Nicholsons is further up. As we were standing outside his house, the security guard come out going mad, but our tour guide was like..we are exchange students..were really sorry haha.

On the way back we thought we would wait to see if we could see MJ. We were waiting about twenty minutes and our tour guide said we will wait another two minutes and if he still has not come we will move on. We had to stand around the corner a little bit because of the papparzzi. Next thing they started walking towards his gate so we ran over. About two minutes later a black car come around the corner and MJ was sitting on the side next to us. He must have been like three metres infront of us and he waved. It was absolutely unbelievable. We were in shock.
We walked down another road where Joey of Friends lives, some dude of ER and some dude called Seth of the OC, but I dont watch them s*** shows. After that we went to the main shopping place in Beverly Hills, and its also where Pretty Woman was filmed. It was full of Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Bentleys. Escalades. You would have to see it to believe it. Everybody around there was filthy rich. Our tour guide was telling us that you will see people about who you will recognise off the tv, who are actually not rich..they are just trying to make it. As we were walking down the road our tour guide said chase him as if he was a celebrity, we were shouting him and asking for pictures. Loads of people started running after him aswell and people were getting up from there lunch. A chinese woman ran up to me and said in a chinese voice "who dat" I said "Adam" then she said "who dat... adam Sandler" he looked nothing like him haha. I went to see the Hollywood sign which was so-real.

On the way back to my hostel a black man stopped me in the road, he had his hand in his pocket and looked s*** dodgy. He ran at me and asked for change, I thought I was going to get robbed ha thats just normal life in Hollywood.

I got to the road of my hostel and the police were blocking the road. Me and the two girls I was with asked the two security guards what was going on. He said its a film set for a new film getting made. Its the sequaL to Forgetting Sarah Marshall and its called Back to the Greek or something. The security guards were really sound. Got one of there numbers as they said they would show us around the set once everybody had gone home. We got there later on and he showed us around everywhere. We tried to open Russell Brands, and Seth of Superbads trailor but they were both locked. There were Universal Studio trucks everywhere. As we were walking to the front of the set, we heard a machine gun go off and I s*** myself. The girls jumped in to the back of there car like something of a James Bond movie. About three seconds later I realised it was fire crackers haha f***ing funny. We ended up talking to them untill 3am. f***ing mad.

Ejay, one of the security guards took me out a couple of days later around the ghetto's of Compton and Inglewood which was amazing to see. I said can we go tonight aswell. He said no chance, if they do not recognise your car they will shoot at you..simple as that.

Got a free shuttle bus the next day to Santa Monica. Santa Monica was beautiful. The pier is of Forest Gump where he runs to the end of the pier, with his fat beard. We then cycled to Venice Beach. It was f***ing crazy. Wierd people everywhere. It is also where Baywatch was filmed. Went to Muscle beach which had no muscles, and your supposed to see people in rollerblades, thongs and spedo's...none of that. Was knackered when I got back so just slept.

The next day we went to the Chinese theatre. Outside is where celebritys have hand and foot prints in the pavement. Will Smiths feet were f***ing huge.

Ive heard about couch surfing everywhere ive been since travelling. Its where you stay on peoples couches for free and meet some sound people. I sent some lad a message who lived in Beverly Hills, as I thought it would be a cool place to stay. I arranged to meet him and he took me out to a sushi restaurant which I was a little worried about as I had little money. He got s*** loads, and we were drinking beer, hot and cold wine. When the bill come, I asked him how much he needed and he said dont worry about it, I insisted but he said dont offend him which was so good of him. I thought he was going to drop me back off at the hostel but he said do I want to go a club were celebritys sometimes hang out. I was not going to turn that down so we went. It was a beautiful club and I had such a good time. I got dropped back off at the hostel and the next day I got picked up and taken to Paul's flat.
That night me, Edwin, and Dani went to the cinema, they wouldnt let me pay once again. They told me to keep my eyes open for celebs as they hang out in places by the Chinese theatre. I looked about ten seats away from me in the cinema and it was Adrian who is off a programme called Entourage and a film called Devil wears Prada. They said this is really normal and happens all the time..I couldnt believe it..I was proper buzzing haha.

The next day we went for breakfast which I never payed for and then on to Venice beach as its busier on a weekend. It was mental. People dancing to no music, meditating, standing on broken glass etc. Paul stopped me and said hes famous that guy there. I asked him who it was. He said Stevo of Jackass, I was going mad. I went up and got a picture with him. He was really sound and funny. I was f***ing buzzing. Paul paid for pizza, and then we had a few drinks before going out. We went to see a band then went to a celebrity club but did not see any, had a really good night. I think I bought one round and they paid for the rest. The next day I chilled at Pauls. I was leaving for San Francisco the next day so Dani dropped me off at the hostel and said my good bye's. I had an unbelievable weekend and was so lucky to be with such amazing people. They were the most generous people ive ever met and I will never forget it. That was just a weekend in Beverly Hills!!
