What to do
A trip to Los Angeles isn't going to be complete for most people without a visit to Hollywood and Mann's Chinese Theatre (the street with the stars in the pavement) for a bit of a look at the film culture of LA. Beyond that for the big kids in us Disneyland (the original version) and Universal Studios are also a must. If shopping's your thing you could indulge on Rodeo Drive and most likely get insulted by the famously rude shop assistants! Because of the car culture (everyone drives) evenings are not so much about drinking as being seen in the right bars, and there are plenty of them to be seen in.
