2 germans, 2 russians Lorenzo and a dog.

The drive was beautiful, tons of la traffic, blah blah blah. The real adventure starts when we reach our first couchsurfing host. Kind of a coral springsy condo place, nothing out of the ordinary, but once inside we are greeted by two germans and blaring german folk drinking songs. Lorenzo tells us he has work from midnight til 8 and goes to bed to catch a couple hours of sleep before heading off to work. As we walk around the place we notice little labels on light switches and bathroom toiletries. This is some sort of couchsurfing twilight zone. He has about six hundred movies organized by great genres like drug flicks and dramas with sad endings. The bar is fully stocked including a tip jar. We hear a couple of Russian girls are staying for three months, but left this morning and probably got abducted by some prostitution ring. To add to this wonderful atmosphere a tiny little rat sized dog jumps around at our feet. Upon further inspection we notice a tiny pink dog bed with a picture of her and Paris Hilton. Well I need a drink, time to try and find some good American beer and show those germans whats up. - aronson
