The Streets of LA

Saturday was funnnn!
Tiring, but we had fun exploring touristy spots..

Visited Grand Central Market in the morning.
Having visited Queen Victoria's Market in Aussie,
I kinda had high expectations for this one.

The interior and stuff are worth visiting..
But it ends there.
Snap a picture or two, try the Carnitas Tacos (pork tacos) and you're ready to go!
Hygiene wise it's a bit ummm.. You get it.
And for individuals like me who are not-so-fond (aka afraid) of pigeons,
this is definitely not a place to linger on..

Loving the city's vintage buildings!
Los Angeles has the "best" of both worlds:
Sleek, modern architectures alongside old, vintage apartments.
The stylish and rich alongside the poor and homeless.
It's difficult to grasp the contrasting-ness of such diverse social standards,
yet interestingly enough this is the culture that makes LA unique as it is.

# Random shot of the metro station before we started our tour. Our landlord so graciously gave us a lift to Downtown LA. Kamsahamnida Unni! :)


# Exterior of the Grand Central Market.. This is the second entrance actually.. 


# Informational posters lined outside the entrance


# Some interior shots of the Market. Loving the super old-school sundry shops!







# Had breakfast at one of the Chinese stores. The one we ordered is meh.. Its Chicken Vegetable something if I'm not mistaken.. But super big portion! Enough to feed 3 girls! On a side note, maybe asian girls only la. Hmmm.. Except Kei! Hor lalingg? LOL





# The famous Caritas Tacos. They'll hand out free samples (which is quite big!) for you to try.. But as we're not a big fan of fatty pork.. The food-testing sample was more than enough for us..


# Some of the nearby apartments and buildings..




# Parking for Flowers Only! LOL



After the Grand Central Market and the not-so-satisfying (sadly disappointing) breakfast,
we headed towards Angel's Flight..

Which will be in the next post! (Cos pictures not edited yet.. Haha)

Ending this post with a picture of me and my favorite store in the market..


That's all for now! Stay sweet sweeties! :)
