Like anybody else that was new to any place, Chi Lian spent the entire car ride looking out of the window at the attractive and busy streets of LA. She saw street dancers, clowns, mimes, buskers, instrumentalists and so many other interesting sights. She also noticed that people here loved taking their dogs on walks a lot. You would not go ten seconds without spotting a dog that was on a leash tugging along an exhausted owner or an excited child.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Ian Smith that had squeezed himself next to her in the car commented.
"Beyond beautiful." she answered. "A lot of people wear sandals in this city." Not just the sandals, the shorts were common too among both the men and women.
"Perks of living in a certified beach city, I swear you cannot take two steps in this city without stepping on a grain of sand. You studied in our empire for one whole year didn't you make it out to LA even once?" he asked.
