As I wasn't much impressed yet about Los Angeles I was about to be as my uber driver was going through Beverly Hills on our way to Rodeo Drive. Funny fact my uber driver was pretty famous as he played in Criminal Minds, CSI, and a couple more series. I knew about Rodeo Drive from another friend. It's situated in the heart of Beverly Hills. It features luxury shopping boutiques, beauty salons, famous clinics, cute restaurants and if you are lucky enough you can even spot celebrities. I wanted to do a little bit of shopping so I stopped at my favourite shops: BCBG Max Azria, Guess and Coach. Loaded with bags I headed towards Anastasia Beverly Hills in search of her famous face illuminator. I have to say that the customer service in all this area is impecable. Staff is very friendly and useful. Stolling around that area got me thirsty so I stopped at Nesspresso for the best ice coffee in town. Quite dissapointing was the fact that internet is not easy to find in that area. Luckly I found a little bit so I can order my uber and head over to my friend's school of acting. It was my first time using uber so I kind of got the address wrong and reached in Santa Monica, but the uber driver was nice and because I was romanian and his boss was romanian as well, he took me back to Santa Monica Street in LA where I was finally reunited with my friend. He was nice enough to return me also the shopping bag which I had forgotten in his car. After 2 hours of watching my friends collegues performing on stage, I was so tired that I fell asleep while my friend was performing... Pretty embarassing... Spending this time with all this future wannabe actors, I find out that they work pretty damn hard to get money to pay their acting classes (often like waiters, bartenders, sellers, uber drivers) and mostly they get to win castings were they have to work for free because the market is overhelmed and if they won't accept, someone else will and maybe that's their chance to shine. After the classes was finally done we headed towards a korean barbeque which is like a popular thing in LA. I have never tried korean food before but since I entered the place I understood me & korean food are a big no no. They basically let you select the meat, and you have a grill on the table in front of you and u get to grill your own meat. Meat comes cut into very thin slices so it's easy to grill. U're also receiveing tofu, condiments (the famous kimchi, the smell of it almost killed me) and you get to enjoy korean beer. Not my favourite type of experience for sure.
After a couple of months, in September 2016 I had the chance to return to LA. This time my friend wasn't there anymore so I rented a car and returned to Rodeo Drive because I wanted to buy a Coach bag. Got even 10% discount for being international shopper. I went back to Anastasia Beverly Hills to buy some products requested by a friend. I found it cute that all the shops were having cute bottles of water, mini size, with their brand which they were distributing to customers. Got a pedicure done in a cute nail salon Voila where they were some fancy people, and 2 kardashians look alike. Walked down the streets enjoying the good weather. Returned to Nesspresso for more of their ice coffee. Found a really cute organic supermarket: Whole Foods Market. Enjoyed a refreshing organic smoothie and contemplated about how would my life be if I would live in Beverly Hills.
