Staying in Hollywood is a bit mad. On the main strip, people can be very pushy trying to sell you things or asking for money. But it is very cool seeing things you really only see on TV; the types of cars, fire hydrants, the Hollywood sign. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is cool too, but gawking at it immediatley marks you out as a tourist. Seeing the famous (and not so famous) names is great, but my favourite was the stars at the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, celebrating the Apoll XI moon landing.
That Michael Collins lad got around, didn't he?
