Today we went sightseeing a bit in Downtown. MOCA, The Museum of Contemporary Arts, is located just a few blocks from us, so we decided to go check it out. It wasn’t as great as I expected though. The Modern Museum in Stockholm was actually a lot better in my opinion. Both bigger and more diverse. Besides the MOCA in Downtown, there is also another one down in Little Tokyo. Our tickets allowed admission to both museums, so we took a stroll to Little Tokyo and had a look. This one was slightly better, but most of the stuff was just plain boring. Then again, I’m usually not impressed at all with modern art, in fact I found at least 50% of what we saw today to be utter bullshit. Well, on our way back from there we found this awesome wall painting though. Notice the resemblance?
On our way back up to Downtown(yes, down is up) we went by an entrance to a minimall in Little Tokyo that we had seen before but never actually entered, so we decided to eat dinner there. We ate at the Ramen place in the picture, which only had 3 things on the menu… and they were all noodle soups.A funny thing was that after you decided which soup you wanted, you also had to tell the waitress how spicy you wanted it on a scale of 1-7. I picked the Soy Soup with a hotness of 4, which was spicy enough to make me cry and cough throughout the meal… And I consider myself fairly resistant to spicy food. I don’t even want to know what a 7 is.
This is on our back home after the noodle soup, which actually was the best noodle soup I’ve ever had. Here’s looking east on Spring Street, i.e. “our street”. Our apartment building is just beyond the red lights to the right.
