life on the other side of the globe.

So, I figured I'd jump on this blogging band wagon...and what better time to start than on an overseas trip. 

Here's an idea of what I've been up to these past few weeks...

Just a few things that have happened so far:

- I've drunk more chai lattes than should be legally allowed for one individual.

- I did my own washing for the first time in my life. lol.

- I've learnt that Hollywood can be brutal - I had the misfortune of being on Hollywood Blvd when someone committed suicide from the Kodak Theatre. 

- If traveling around LA via public transit - pack supplies, you'll be there for a while.

- I witnessed my first Super Bowl.

- I've learnt that love and company can be found in the most unexpected places and at the most unexpected times.

For those of you not fortunate enough to know the Balch family - let me just say, they are some of the most wonderful, caring and generous people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. They're kindness and hospitality was truly a Godsend and I can't thank them enough for the time I was able to spend in their home.

I've met some incredible people these last few weeks, some I hope, I'll still be friends with even when I go back home. 

Anywho - I've got a huge city to explore. I'll be back soon. =]

-Em.
