I've really been thinking about LA a lot during the past few weeks and realized how much I miss it. Exactly ten years ago I had to move back because I couldn't get an extension for my work permit. That sucked big time. I was just a little PA at a Hollywood movie studio and had no chance of getting a green card. To make things worse, my girlfriend at the time cheated on me with not just one but two guys! It was like a story out of a movie. She was a grad student at UC Berkeley in San Francisco. I drove up there every other weekend to visit her and she occasionally came down to LA. The thing I didn't know was that she dated a guy in Chicago and one in Dallas at the same time. The whole thing flew off when I discovered two airline tickets to Paris on her desk. And the name on the second ticket wasn't mine, LOL. I was shattered at the time and so were the other two guys. The dude on the ticket was the one in Chicago, so I located and called him up. We both dumped her immediately. She eventually came clean about the third guy as well. So I moved back to Switzerland and had no intension to ever visit California again. But now I really miss the lifestyle and I still have some great friends from UC San Diego and USC in LA. Those six years where the best time of my life. If my hotel project ever works out, I might be able to go back and forth, which would be perfect. SoCal is great, but I like Europe a lot too. I want the best of both worlds, baby...
