Our hostel in LA is situated just off Hollywood & Sunset Boulevards which is great for us as it is pretty central! We only stayed a few days here as there is not that much to do (plus we weren't too enamored with the place!).
We went and saw Dawn of the Dead, a spoof 70's horror film at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery (which seems a little weird but there were hundreds of people there, with picnics and sleeping bags - all more prepared than we were!). The film was not scary (which is just as well) as the zombies had painted blue faces, walked with their arms outstretched and had really fake-looking blood!!
We did a bus tour, which took us to see the Hollywood sign and the home of the stars. We saw Leonardo di Caprio's, Hugh Heffner's, Nicholas Cage's, the house that they use in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air among others. We didn't see anyone famous though!
We walked the length of the Walk of Fame (all 3 miles of it, seeing over 2700 stars!) and ended up at the Chinese Theatre and the Kodak Theatre. We put our hands in the imprints of the star's hands (typical tourist activity) and got sneaked up on by the many street performers outside the Theatre (Homer Simpson came and said hello & Kate was startled by Chuckie!)
We also went to one of the best Thai Restaurants ever (as recommended to us by Justin & Scott).
