Tipping in Los Angeles
by machomikemd
Tipping really isn't optional in the Los Angeles Area, where most people in service industries are paid a measly minimum wage. However, if service is truly appalling, don't just tip (in this case a complaint to the manager is probably warranted).

Be aware of the Customs men and women, they are an awesome site to stay away from. LOL. My best memory of Los Angeles must be the company of my friend and the amazing places we went to in a short space of time; The Walk of Fame and Universal Studio's had to be the highlight for me, looking forward to going back some day soon, I hope.

Try to rent an electric car! It´s not only the special feeling of riding an extraordonary vehicle, its allso because you get the best places in this city wich is stucked full of ordonary fuel powered cars. Getting to the best places with the electric car! You will get an extraordonary possibility to go to the most frequent atractions in the city without searching a gap to park your car miles away from the entrance and paying lots of money for that. You allways get the best and nearest places to park your electric car at many tourist atractions, shopping malls and even at the beaches! In LA there is a system of 'Electric Vehicle Parking Only' marked places with charging equipment for your car for free use! You don´t pay for parking, don´t pay for charging an best of all, they are allwas situatet at the best position nearby the entrance, beside the VIP only and disabled parkers. You find EV- parkers for example direct in the valet parking of the Universal Studios, straight at the beach of Santa Monica ore beside the mayors parking palce in the city hall garage. You never walk 15 minutes over a hot parking area ore pay 7$ in a dirty parking lot, like it´s common with an ordonary gasoline car!

Head for the shore. If you are in the city for one day do not make the mistake of spending it in the downtown area. The action for the shot stopover tourist is on the westside, meaning Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Venice, etc.. There is a lot to see all over LA, but if time is short, that's where you go.

In hollywood we saw a lot of policecars and policemen on bikes and even a helicopter chasing some bad guys. On this parking space they caught them. It was just like watching a movie. Diana said 'Quick, take a pic! So I did, COOL HUH!
