DK Travel : Los Angeles

The myth, the velocity, the edginess in creative and technological fields – this is Los Angeles, where the multicultural future that awaits the rest of the country is already a firm reality. In little more than 200 years, LA has grown from a dusty Spanish outpost into one of the world’s largest and most complex cities offering top venues for everything from archaeology and the arts to food. The birthplace of Mickey Mouse and Hollywood, LA has shaped the imaginations of millions.

Big Bear Mountain

Big Bear lake and mountain resort is an absolutely fantastic way to spend a day or two. About 2 hours out of downtown LA and only needing to change roads twice its very easy to get to. In winter Big Bear is one of the worlds premier ski resorts offering two mountains on one lift pass. In summer you can hire a boat and spend the day on the lake. Either way Big Bear is perfect if you want a relaxing day break from the hustle of LA itself. When i went, we got up early, headed up to the moutains (Worth noting, if you leave before sunrise or come back at sunset you can get stunning views of the sunrise/set over the whole of Los Angeles) i spent a day snowboarding in fresh snow, then i headed back and had dinner on venice beach, very surreal day!
Catalina Island

it's really pretty and fun to sail there on your own sailboat, or hire one out for the weekend, with a captain and all aboard!
Dan Sung Sa

Dan Sung Sa is tucked into a strip mall, like most Koreatown establishments, though it stands out since the walls of the building are wooden planks, and the sign is a faded painting of Korean karate and movie stars. Inside you step into another world. One with water served from brass pots, lanterns hanging on the walls, and menus on wooden blocks. If you don't speak Korean, simply ask the waiter to recommend their favorite Korean bar-food dish (which will involve some kind of kimchi) and order a bottle of Hite. You'll be in Korean heaven.
