When I traveled to China with my Grandfather in 2015, we first flew Los Angeles and spent a day there waiting for our flight overseas. We had a little bit of downtime, and my cousin Kenneth happened to be living in L.A. at the time so he took us to check out some of the obligatory tourist spots like Venice Beach and the Walk of Fame. We also stopped by Proud Bird, a restaurant near the airport adorned with vintage airplanes. It was a fun visit, we managed to pack in a lot in a few short hours. Here are a few pics!
