Day 08* - LA

We visited NBC Universal Digital in the morning. In common, everyone felt that this is the most not-very-interesting section in comparison with the rest, especially yesterday, the whole day we had fun at Universal Studio. However, at least, we knew something: history of NBC (their logo changes after periods. And if you looked carefully, the latest logo is quite creative), the way they arrange lights in a stage to make a TV show (it’s look a bit messy to me, or there were some order maybe), etc. They would have a live show in the evening as we shew them prepare the outdoor stage. It would be better if we could attend the show, then our attitude regarding this section may improve a bit.

We dropped at Farmers Market in the afternoon, went around and had lunch. The Brazilian food is quite nice. The interesting thing was that they didn’t charge us base on the number of dishes we taken. They charged us by weighing the dish with all the foods on it (except the dish itself, of course).

We arrived at Fox Interactive Media (a.k.a FIM) about 3pm. Before coming here, I thought that Fox was a film studio just like Universal, as I only saw their logo at the beginning of some movies. I didn’t know that myspace.com belongs to them, I didn’t know that they had many other products as well, and they also need more IT staff at the moment. Lots of privileges included a house in Beverly Hill are given to you when joining them. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead to apply for the job!.

We went to “99 cent” super market after the buffet dinner. Surprisingly, everything is only 99 cent each, for example: 2 bottles of water is 99 cents (I spent 2 dollars for them in the hotel yesterday). Actually, almost all the items are clearance-sale items from other stores. They are 100% new, only out of fashion.

We walked to the hotel after that, packed our luggages for the returning trip tomorrow.
