Greetings from Singapore.

Sycamore beach is a small unknown beach.

For the experience that you had on Venice Beach is the reason that I don't like it. Too many people, street performers trying to get you to give them money, vendors trying to sell you stuff, and the things like food and suvenirs are expensive there, all in all is a tourist trap. I had a similar experience a couple of months ago on Hollywood Blvd. I was there taking pictures and a young African-American guy came up to me with his head phones told me to listen to the song that he was listening, he said he was singer. I was polite to him and told him that it was pretty good. He asked me where I was from, I told him I was from the Valley, he said, "What are you doing here pretending to be a tourist?" He shook my hand and left.

** I have to admit I don't know whether it was the best burger I've ever had or it was simply me being hungry waiting. ***

I haven't heard of Sycamore Beach, but if it's not too far I'll probably give it a visit next time. When I was at Venice, I came across a few African Americans who made their own songs/albums, etc. and in the end, I couldn't do anything but bought a bunch of them. Oh well, I tried to avoid but it's unavoidable. They were nice enough to give me their autograph and wrote me a thank you and stuff though.

Yes, I've been studying in a private school all my life. However, I don't think public schools in the US are that bad, if you compare it to here. Anyway, I don't think I'll be able to attend public schools because I'm not a US citizen, if I want to be a US citizen, my cousin will have to adopt me. We did talk about that a few times.

And we should.

I do not like Venice Beach so much neither I like Santa Monica Beach, too may people . I like Sycamore Beach, is a good beach where my family used to go. It got a litte deteriorated after the hurricane of 1982, it also destroyed the Santa Monica Pier. Sycamore Beach is after Pepperdine University. I haven't been there in ages.

If you decide to come to L.A. and study may I suggest private school, public schools are a disaster.

Maybe we all should start a charity and raise money for the good cause of helping Nacho go see his future ex-girlfriend.

Marija, yeah one of them was cancelled but she still has two more in South America though.

Carlos, yes, I have. And I absolutely love it there. I did consider studying there since I can just live there with my cousin, but I have plenty of other choices since I also have a relative in the UK, France, and Virginia but for some reason we ended up with New Zealand. I look forward to studying in the UK though.

I do visit/will visit from time to time though, I love Venice Beach. And I fell in love with Taco Bell (yeah it's fastfood, but we don't have them here so ).

Bróna, I'm glad so many of you like the retrospections. I promise I'll post one over the weekend.

By the way, I'm from Novi Sad, Serbia, as you may know.
