So West we went, all the way to the coast to spend some time in Los Angeles. We decided to visit Venice, where Lothar has a friend.
It’s very touristy there, and everything you’d expect from a beach town, including a full workout gym right on the beach! But what surprised us the most is how cold it was. There’s a weather effect that causes the coast to be overcast for a lot of May and June aparently!
For lunch, we found a Chinese place called Mao’s Kitchen. The food was good, and the menu was hilarious, with items like “People’s potstickers”, and “Eggplant pamphlet – eggplant bound volumes filled with shrimp or tofu propaganda”. Cute!
Later, we saw some of the harbour and sights with Lothar’s friend, and they also took us out for dinner at a wonderful Italian place called Barrique.
The next morning, we visited his company, where they make sim racers! We even got to try it out! We drove essentially Formula 1 cars in there!! I struggled with some motion sickness feeling with the 3 big screens in front, and it was really hard to get the hang of driving, but there’s also an option with a VR headset and Lothar said that felt much better.
