Our Sony Pictures Studio Tour ended. There weren’t many photos taken as photography is prohibited in some of the studio stages. We learnt a lot on the history and different parts of firming from the tour. We still prefer the Studio Tour at Universal Studio.

After the studio tour, we drove straight to The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suite. It took us longer than expected to arrive at the hotel due to the bad traffic.
Our last hotel room in our 2 weeks trip – on the 26th floor.
Time for dinner! All the shops and restaurants were closed at 7 PM.
We wandered on the streets in the cold weather. The wind was so strong that we were forced to take shelter. We bought drinks and some take-aways from a convenience store.
We found a pizza place and bought the last piece of pizza displayed.
Look at the different sizes available. Size 1 is the size of Pizza Hut’s pan pizza.
Sirloin Rice Set – The beef was sweet, not to my liking.
