birdofpassage: 07.26.2011 Universal Studios

Day two of the post conference tour! Today we went to Universal Studios and Chinese Theatre and this... shopping place with a Farmer's Market located next to CBS.

Didn't go in, is there a red carpet?

I have no idea why this place is called Chinese Theatre, but what was even more exciting was the H&M and Zara and American Apparel across the street lol.

1. tourist trap! I know, I took this picture thinking about how Kelvin got swindled the exact same way in Rome. 2. Harry Potter!

cool building. I think it's a church.

"CBS! Look! It's the price is right! Craig Ferguson is RIGHT NEXT DOOR" as her expression accelerates from regular to omygodajehfads-excited.

A Taschen bookstore. So many nice books, So expensive..

1. J.Crew I love you, 2. We match!

So close to getting a discount...

We're here!

I think this was the most memorable "ride" we went in at Universal Studios. It was the first one and everybody went in together. As stupid as a haunted house is, the kids were really cute and we all played along and exaggerated our scared-ness. At one point, they all shouted, "OMITOFO!" when we saw a zombie (which made me laugh), and they even sang the Noble Eightfold Path song that they learned during the conference. Somehow although it was supposed to be a scary ride, it ended up being (the nicest) full of sillyness and laughter.

"Quick! Everybody get in the phone booth nooooww!!" she says in a pushy tone so she can take a picture.

All I needed was somebody nice to sit or stand here.

1. Rock on..! 2. "Can you make that face?" "What, like this?" "Yeaah!!"

No sitting on escalators. What a rebel, these boys are so hard to teach!

I went on the water ride. We took the single riders lane to bump the queue and I got the lucky front seat on the side. I was soaked. The guy behind me? He was pretty dry if you ask me.
