Does that ferris wheel look familiar? If you're a fan of Hannah Montana or if you've ever watched her movie "Hannah Montana: The Movie" you'll know that this is where the first scene of the movie took place. This is the popular Santa Monica Pier and it is the favorite among television and movie producers. The restaurants are great and there are also tons of vending machines.The pier has a park and you can ride rides on planks over the water. The rides are a bit pricey but totally worth it.
Santa Monica Pier is a good place to relax and take long walks. This is also a great place to go and hangout with your friends, your family, your friend's family and your friend's family friend. There are tons of artists painting on glass and people singing at the sides of the pier. If you want to relax alone you can stay at the end of the pier and fish.
Our trip to Hollywood turned out different from what we expected. Like reaaallly different. I was thinking about going to the Hollywood sign, meeting or taking pictures of and with celebrities and more shopping before Hollywood but what turned out is that there was a premiere of Oblivion starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman! At least I got right at the thought of taking pictures of celebrities. Plus we didn't even know there was a premiere. PERFECT TIMING!
While waiting we were waiting for the celebrities to arrive we just roamed around the place. When I say place, I mean we never go far and we just literally walk around the shops beside the road (where the premiere is held) We've never been to Hollywood before and know I know that people who cosplays like heroes or any characters (that doesn't even look like them) will just come to you, grab your shoulders and tell you to take a picture with them. After the taking of pictures, the cosplayers will just ask for money because you took a picture with him. So next time we'll go here, we know what to do.
