This was our first trip to LA and we were really looking forward to it for a variety of reasons. First off this trip wouldn’t have happened without the good offices and organisation of our friends in LA. We sincerely thank you all for your amazing hospitality and help.

I want to say what a pleasure it was to teach in LA at the Bordello of Decadence. This is a great space and we enjoyed teaching and playing there very much. At the classes every person that came showed improvement and I hope took away lessons to help them continue to improve after the classes. It’s a great pleasure for me to see a class have a positive effect on those attending.
Shopping
We had a really good time shopping in Downtown’s ‘Little Tokyo’ region. Great shops and people. We were able to get some things that we usually have to order direct from Japan at very reasonable prices and without British customs scalping us for import duty on even the smallest items. The people and shop keepers of Little Tokyo were very nice and helpful, I’d really recommend visiting if you get the chance.
Culture
We had to visit the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo. Fortunately while we were in LA there was an exhibition on Japanese American tattoo artists.

The exhibition was only there for a limited time so sadly you can’t visit this after September 2014.
Beach
Finally we got to be really tourists seeing Hollywood and the beach. A beautiful day, good company and good food on the coast. Also our first ever visit to the Pacific ocean. Later this year we’re hoping to see it from the other side.
