UCLA Block Party plus Happy Panda Hot Pot

UCLA

Fooding

Primo Driving School still teaches stick shift??

Mind. Blown. Maybe there is some hope for future generations.

Very hungry after something like 40 hours of eating nothing but airplane (economy class no less) and airport food.

UCLA dorm move-in weekend block party.

Randomly heading to Westwood on a weekend, not realizing it was the last weekend before classes started-- so of course, UCLA was throwing a block party, with lots of local businesses coming out. This included Primo Driving School in Westwood, which, to my amazement, still offers manual transmission driving courses.

Happy Panda Kitchen Hot Pot, formerly Northern Cafe Hot Pot, more than did the trick after nearly two full days eating nothing but airport and airplane food.
