Day 14: Los Angeles

Wow has it actually been two weeks? That's crazy.

I had my flight at 930, so I made sure I reached JFK airport at 730. I reached there at 6:55. So ample time right? Well luckily enough I thought of being exceptionally early because the queues were ridiculous. I was standing outside in negative weather for 30 minutes just to enter the building. Atrocious. Entered the building, checked in my bag. Next queue. The security queue. Honestly it started from 730 and finished at 830. I'm not even joking. So many people missed their flight. My nose started to bleed so I shoved a tissue up there and next thing you know security stops me.

"Are you safe to travel? Will you be a hazard?"

YES OBVIOUSLY. Because my nose is bleeding. *sarcasm*.

The amount of looks I got from people was ridiculous. It's just a bleeding nose for crying out loud!

I reached LA, 6 hours later on the worst flight ever. Fucking kid behind me kicking my chair (how could she even reach? We had ample leg space). And a kid in front of constantly like moving forward and hitting the back of his chair so it lands on my head on the tray table. Let's just kill all the kids!

The shuttle to the hostel took 2 hours. This was not my day. I missed the canyon tour with the hostel. I dropped my stuff and went to the Citadel Outlets instead, which were incredible. Here's the shops I went to:
Coach: bought my mum a bag
Michael Korrs: bought my mum a wallet
Calvin Klein: bought my mum a dress
Sunglass Hut: bought myself Raybans
Tommy Hilfiger: bought myself a shirt
H&M: a hoodie

All the other stores were gross basic or the same price as normal stores so I didn't buy anything else.

Shopping wise I spent like $350 ish..
Which I feel so bad but it makes up for how little I've been spending lately. Especially food. All I had was a Starbucks.

The hostel was much nicer than the one in Miami and more upper class than the one in New Orleans. I met a cool Japanese girl in my room but when I got back I didn't hang around. Instead I opted to go straight to bed, so I didn't get to meet anyone.. So far.

Budget:
$350 shopping
$6 Starbucks
$5 public transport
= $361..

Okay.
I have to start a new budget.
