Die kleine Fu\u00dfg\u00e4ngerstra\u00dfe endet an der Plaza Olvera. Hier stehen viele alte Geb\u00e4ude. Etwas \u00f6stlich ist die Los Angeles Union Station.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nur ein paar Meter entfernt wartet das Stra\u00dfenchaos der 101 des modernen LA auf mich: mehrspurige Stra\u00dfen und viel Verkehr.

Eine kurzen Schr\u00e4gbahn (Steigung 33%), die einen runter zur Hill St bringt. Der ursr\u00fcngliche Standort war ein paar Meter \u00f6stlich. Und das merkt man.

Auf meiner Liste steht nichts spannendes mehr und zur\u00fcck nach Chinatown laufe ich jetzt nicht. Ich rufe einen uber, der mich zum <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rodeo_Drive\">Rodeo Drive<\/a> bringen wird. Auf der Karte wirkt es so nah. In Wahrheit sind es \u00fcber 10 Meilen (16 km). Bis zum Strand (<a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Santa_Monica\">Santa Monica<\/a>) w\u00e4ren es noch einmal fast 10 Meilen. Downtown LA nach <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Long_Beach_(Kalifornien)\">Long Beach<\/a>: 20 Meilen. Ich untersch\u00e4tze die Gr\u00f6\u00dfe von LA immer noch. LA ist gr\u00f6\u00dfer als Tokyo.<\/p>\n[&#8230; weiter im n\u00e4chsten Blogeintrag &#8230;]\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">ENG<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It would be presumptuous to explore the rest of LA today. This city is simply huge. An uber takes me to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chinatown,_Los_Angeles\">Chinatown<\/a>, to the Thien Hau Temple. And I make my first mistake so early in the day: instead of walking one block north from here along N Broadway, I head south towards Chinatown Gateway. That was stupid. I forget about Chinatown Central Plaza. Chinatown without the plaza doesn&#8217;t pull herring off the plate.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27790&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

A small street with street vendors. Yes, a tourist trap, but quite picturesque. The area is called <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/El_Pueblo_de_Los_%C3%81ngeles_Historical_Monument\"><em>El Pueblo de Los \u00c1ngeles<\/em><\/a>, and is the old city center of Los Angles. The small pedestrian street ends at Plaza Olvera. There are many old buildings here. A little to the east is Los Angeles Union Station.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just a few meters away, the street chaos of the 101 of modern LA awaits me: multi-lane roads and lots of traffic. City Hall awaits on the other side. The building is familiar from movies and television. I walk through <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grand_Park\">Grand Park<\/a> up to Grand Ave.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is probably the cultural center of LA.

To the left is the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Walt_Disney_Concert_Hall\">Walt Disney Concert Hall<\/a>. As in Bilbao, the outer skin is made of metal. And as in Bilbao, this results in thermal side effects on the street in front of the building. A large part of the metal surfaces had to be sanded down so that they no longer reflect. Honestly, the mistake was a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next to the Concert Hall is <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Broad\">The Broad<\/a><\/em>, an art museum. Not for me. I walk on to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Angels_Flight\">Angels Flight<\/a>. A short incline (33% gradient) that takes you down to Hill St. The original location was a few meters to the east. And you can tell.

Here are the skyscrapers I saw yesterday from the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Griffith_Observatory\">Griffith Observatory<\/a>. To the north is Highway 110, which crosses the 101 a little to the east.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unlike Tokyo, I&#8217;m somehow not interested in skyscrapers, roads and concrete. Maybe Chicago is to blame. It was so refreshingly different. And Tokyo is simply Tokyo. I walk down the stairs next to the Angel Flight, but I can&#8217;t find a good photo position. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Homer_Laughlin_Building\">Grand Central Market<\/a> is waiting at the bottom. Well. Big is an exaggeration. A bit more than the Kleinmarkthalle in Frankfurt, I&#8217;d say.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I walk to Japan Village for lunch and pass two huge murals: the Village is a pedestrian zone between 1st St and 2nd St. Wow, there really is a 1st Street here. The choice falls on <a href=\"https:\/\/rakkanramen.com\/locations\/dtla\/\"><em>Rakkan Ramen<\/em><\/a> in said 1st Street. Lunch is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ramen\">ramen<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Takoyaki\">takoyaki<\/a>, <a
