Los Angeles - San Francisco

I've only been to New York and Washington before, and the west coast is different. I never quite got a grip on Los Angeles. I suppose, being european, I like a city to feel like a city. Los Angeles is anything but a city. In places, like Venice beach, you can walk around without a car, but it would take a while to get a feeling of the city as a whole.
San Francisco is a weird place. We lived just fifty meters from the Hilton, in the worst possible crack-ghetto. Walk fifty meters in another direction, and you're suddenly thrown into the the business district. No sign of any crack there. I suppose you learn a city after a while, but I found SF weird and LA even weirder... but not in an altogether bad way. Americans are fun.
San Francisco is much more like a european city. Apart from the vast amount of crack heads literally littering the streets, I really liked it too. I went to SF Moma to see the Matthew Barney show Drawing restraint, and we went to a few clubs. A hipster club called Qoöl, among others. Qoöl is an after work house club, with the beautiful and/or rich.
On to the gallery then....
