Advantages: A must see!

Disadvantages: Weirdo magnet!

I visited Los Angeles a couple of years ago, and one of the things on my to do list was The Walk of Fame.

It is an iconic peice of Hollywood that every tourist must see!

The Walk of Fame runs along Hollywood Boulevard, which is also the home to other landmarks such as the Chinese Theatre and the Kodak Theatre.

When we first stepped out on to the Walk of Fame, we were bombarded with guys selling rap music CDs, the whole place is bustling with street sellers and it can get a little annoying being stopped every few steps.

However, it is worth the annoyance to see this famous site, seeing stars dedicated to legends such as Walt Disney and Michael Jackson. All of the mega famous people's stars seem to be in and around the front of the Chinese Theatre and surrounding areas, as you go further down the street the names become less and less familiar, until we hadn't heard of them at all!

Whilst there we saw a guy whose job it was to polish each of the stars by hand! What a pain staking, but quite cool, job!

We also saw a lot of "weirdos" in this area. People yelling random things in the street and preaching about the end of the world etc....we even saw a guy arguing with an apple pie in McDonalds!

So in conclusion, it's worth a look, just keep your head down and plough through the street sellers and the weirdos and you'll be fine!

Summary: A must see, but very busy and a few weirdos about!
