3-9 Oct
The last week in Los Angeles was very relaxing. I passed the days between my 5 cousins in the city. We visited both Getty Museums, the Villa in Malibu and the Center, the Universal Studios, Hollywood and the Hollywood Boulevard. I bought a pair of Timberland shoes (3 times cheaper here than Europe). These days were exactly what was needed between the "dream of Ensenada" and the greek routine.
As I started this trip with joy I will finish it at the right time. On Saturday the 10th I fly with Swiss Airlines over Zurich back to Greece. All that time, I had enough of America and have missed a little bit Greece. The european history and tradition form the modern society, give the people a cultural quality and make the continent a unique place to live. A kind of "social experience" gathered from the past makes the europeans to have a unique identity and creates the "european dream". The recent financial and subsequent social crisis in the US, that seems to continue indefinitely, makes Europe the preferable place. Various parts of the way of life, like the better food quality, the public means of transportation, the more rational spending of money and the real social state are unbeatable european advantages. In the meantime, I still enjoy the hope, the size and the speed of the young New World.
