California Blog #06: Los Angeles

Have you ever try to visit the city of angels during vacation in some other way?

Well, my cousin Ryan lives in Los Angeles and lives the good life here. He also helps me on some ideas for TV shows, movies, music, video games, and others. So let's talk about it, and make it more informative so I can visit there someday in the future.

Ryan and I share a lot in common when I talk to him on the phone. He really loved my ideas on anything. Especially like the one I sent him about a new supergroup idea titled 'Cosmictronica'. The animated supergroup with four cartoon character members. Jabberwocky the techno raver, Koshi the K-Pop sweet girl, Tremolo the cool guy, and Rocco the rockstar. He really liked it a lot. In fact, he really loved it. And I really do think that maybe we'll make this idea happen sometime soon.

In Los Angeles, you can see that it's the home of many TV and film studios, recording studios, animation studios, the Santa Monica Pier, and the famous Hollywood sign. There's plenty more where that came from, especially the beach.

When I visit Los Angeles for vacation, I will plan on visiting my cousin Ryan and hang out with him. He can take me out to someplace to eat, chill out on the beach (sunscreen required), go check out studio tours, visit wax museums, take a walk around the Hollywood Walk of Fame, go shopping, and visit theme parks.

I also had an idea of taking a tour around Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank. I would really like to see what animation Nickelodeon has made in the past decades and present. For instance, I would really like to say hello to the cast of The Loud House. That would be really awesome.

The next tour I wanna go to is the Warner Bros Studio Tour. This is where I can get to see the real sets, experience how the shows and movies are made, and explore one of the busiest working studios. I can even get to meet and greet the voice actors of any show.

Another one that Ryan and I wanna check out is Universal Studio Tour. The attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood, where it goes into a working film studio, with various film sets on the Universal Studios Lot. I wonder what it would be like if Ryan and I see the stunts of any movie in person.

I also wanna check out a tour of Paramount Studios. This is where tourists can go up close and personal of the movies in this backlot tour, discover the studio's history at the tour center and prop warehouse, explore iconic filming locations, and walk among industry talents, the crew, and producers that call Paramount home.

Yep. Visiting one of these studio tour would be way cool to do in the Los Angeles area. Especially, wax museums. Like the one I first went to in London. That was cool also. The one in L.A. I wanna visit is the Madame Tussauds wax museum in Hollywood. Just like the one in London, this is where to see celebrities in wax form.

This would be loads of fun to do  so, and ... Whoa! Is that Nathan Kress?

Another attraction I wanna check out with Ryan and my family is the one that I talked about with my aunt Leta on phone.

The Museum of Illusions!

It's the home of 3D illusions and the Upside Down House exhibit with other interactive experiences.

When it comes to illusions, I get really kinda confused. But at all times, I get amazed by these illusions. And when I look at the upside down house in this illusion museum, I feel like I'm falling upside down, or perhaps walk the other way up. My dad would think that he might be walking on the ceiling. There's a lot of illusions that we can all take a look around at and walk around, just like in 3D. Interesting!

Ryan would even enjoy that too. And so do I. My dad would also enjoy the Upside Down house. He would say "Aaah! Help me! I'm trapped in the upside down room! Get me outta here!" Aunt Leta would think that was funny too. The Museum of Illusions can also be an interactive museum that can do anything too. But there's a lot of museums in L.A. and in San Francisco to check out.

Such museums like:

Museum of Selfies

Museum of Ice Cream

Museum of 3D Illusions

The GRAMMY Museum

The Color Factory

Museum of Contemporary Art

Los Angeles County Museum of Art

The Hollywood Museum

Hollywood Heritage Museum

Guinness World Records Museum

Cartoon Art Museum

Madame Tussauds San Francisco

Hollywood Wax Museum

I also wanna take Ryan, Aunt Leta, and my dad to check out Ripley's Believe It Or Not! The unusual and bizarre museum. I wish I'd go to that weird museum, but my dad would think that this place is just ludicrous. But one thing's for sure, is that's Hollywood Boulevard where the stars come out to shine.

That's where the TCL Chinese Theater is located with all the celebrity footprints and the landmark cinema.

The next one is Sunset Boulevard.

It's a legendary road for landmarks and nightlife. It's even got The Laugh Factory comedy club for plenty of laughs, music clubs, and plenty of shops and diners.

The one other place I haven't been before in my life since I left is the L.A. Zoo. The lush zoo with more than 250 species of animal life.

My cousin would also like that a lot.

If I were to life like a movie star like my glasses, I would visit my cousin Ryan a lot and he'd help me out with many more ideas on future TV shows, movies, music bands/groups, and video games. Hey, it could happen.
