Droolworthy dinner, crappy hotel
We're camped out in a crappy hotel room ($4.99 for Internet access ["For the day?" "No, for your entire stay, no matter how long] and cheapness really being the only redeeming features). ExtendedStayAmerica, Gardena, CA: Just say no. Hotwire 2-star hotels in the LA area: Shell out more and go for a 3-star or better. This is really just advice to myself. Hopefully I'll remember.
That said, it is a room, with a bed. It doesn't smell too bad (though I'm not convinced it's a non-smoking room... hmm). There's a kitchenette we won't use. It is a place to sleep. *shrug*
Dinner at Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori (Gardena) was, as we knew it would be, pretty damned great.
( Collapse )
Tomorrow, Shin-Sen-Gumi Ramen (Gardena) for lunch? Brunch? Breakfast? ... then hanging out with SoCalBrowncoats types, then Kinky Boots (what looks to be a hillarious British movie starring Serenity's own Chiwetel Ejiofor) at Arclight Cinemas (supposedly where 'Hollywood' go to see movies. Supposedly Best. Sound. EVAR.), then Yakitori again (mmm) tomorrow!
