000109 West Hollywood Halloween Parade

The sight of the park is so desolate, but despite this, the magical Joshua tree and all sorts of oddly shaped stones are an eye-opener for them.

After a morning, they had to go and see the flowers, and many of the tourists walked slowly with backpacks, apparently planning to camp here and continue the tour the next day. Xiao Yifei and the others could only rush from one scenic spot to another.

Get out of the park and drive to Palm Springs, the pearl of the desert.

Palm Springs is a famous resort next to Los Angeles and is also famous for its hot springs, and of course, another hot spring town in California is Callistoga.

There are many interesting places near Palm Springs, but unfortunately the time is limited, they can only stay for an hour, they can't enjoy the desert hot springs, they don't have time to play golf, they don't have time to see polo fields, hotels, resorts, and even the World War II Old Aircraft Museum that Li Qinglin and Xiao Yifei are interested in, they just take the high-altitude cable car.

The cable car is also rotary, the same as Xiao Yifei used to ride in the Swiss Alps, but the route here is longer and the slope is higher.

As soon as the cable car started, the sudden weightlessness made the car scream, and then from time to time the girl in the car let out a burst of screams, it felt as if the cable car was not fast, but whenever it passed by the boulder, there was a reference object to let everyone experience the speed of the cable car.

When she got out of the car, Xiao Ya asked Xiao Yifei to take her before she was willing to get out of the car.

Xiao Yifei took them on the return journey.

"It's the Desert Outlet Center, the largest outlet mall in the West, and you can find all the brands you can think of here, and the prices here are very attractive."

The two girls are thrilled by the arrival of a shopping trip that brings together famous luxury brands: ach, guess...... It can be said that it has everything. The two girls rushed into the store in cheers, while Xiao Yifei and Li Qinglin followed dejectedly.

It's cheap, a pair of Reeves jeans is less than $20, a pair of Nike shoes is just over $40, and Xiao Yifei bought himself a few Tommy long-sleeved T-shirts, as well as some jackets, jeans, and some casual wear.

Out of a store, Xiao Yifei handed the card to Xiao Ya:

"Here you go, go in and pick two."

As soon as Xiao Ya raised her head, her face turned red all of a sudden, and it turned out that the next one was the famous underwear brand Victoria's Secret. With a flushed face, she took her credit card and went into the store. Li Qinglin also obediently handed over the credit card and asked Xu Shuyun to go shopping.

Tired of walking around, Xiao Yifei began to persuade them.

"Take it easy, there are two more outlets like this in the back, and there are them here and there."

But these two turned a deaf ear, but Li Qinglin looked at Xiao Yifei pitifully. He must be muttering in his heart: Brother, you better give me a good time, today I have to eat a long time of green vegetables and radishes, and there are two more, you can kill me.

Later, Xiao Yifei was too lazy to follow, handed over the accompanying task to Li Qinglin, and sat in the rest area to check the information of wind power in the United States, when he saw that there were farmers in the Great Plains who leased their land to wind power companies, and a wind turbine could harvest $5,000 in rent every year, and it did not delay them in cultivating the land, Xiao Yifei was not calm.

Since wind power companies are willing to pay $5,000 a year for each wind turbine, they must earn not only 5,000, but at least tens of thousands, as long as they get a few thousand wind turbines, it will be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of profits a year.

And even if you don't get a fan, find a desolate location, and open up a wind farm to rent, you can recover the cost in a few years, and the rest is pure profit.

Xiao Yifei wrote this down, which is a possible investment direction to consider.

At about 6 o'clock, Xiao Yifei and the others dragged the two girls to the car and returned to the hotel.

In the evening, Xiao Yifei knew the reason why Li Qinglin had to fly to Los Angeles instead of San Francisco. Because he wanted to participate in the Hollywood Halloween Parade. In fact, the full name of this parade is supposed to be the West Hollywood Halloween Costume Parade (Arvival).

There is a difference between Hollywood and West Hollywood. Hollywood is an area of the city of Los Angeles, but West Hollywood is as much a city as Beverly Hills. In other words, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills are on the same level as the city of Los Angeles, and everyone is a city under Los Angeles County. Hollywood, on the other hand, is a district of Los Angeles.

Every year on October 31 at 6 p.m., Santa Monica Boulevard belongs to the West Hollywood City section, and the 1.5-kilometer stretch from Y intersection to GA intersection will be crowded with strange people, as if the whole of Los Angeles is flocking here for the Halloween parade.

"You're just talking about it now, we're not dressed up at all, how are we going to the parade."

"I just saw it on the road, there is a small shop selling those things, just buy a set."

After saying that, he bewitched the two ladies.

"It is said that there are many celebrities who will also participate."

Well, in the end, everyone agreed to join the Halloween parade.

"Well, leave your valuables, documents, and wallet at the hotel, and bring a camera and a small amount of cash."

Xiao Yifei and the Four Seasons Hotel where they stayed were on Y Road, and they walked 1 km north to the Grand Parade venue. On the way, they simply dressed up, and Xiao Yifei casually bought a vampire's teeth and cape, which was the most popular this year. Two ladies casually bought a peaked wizard hat. And Li Qinglin, at the unanimous request of the three people, put on a pig's head hood, and with this thing, his whole face could not be seen. As for Li Qinglin's protest, it was directly suppressed.

There are more than 100 meters away, the front is blocked by the police, only pedestrians can enter, vehicles please go to the vicinity to find another parking space. Fortunately, everyone didn't drive, and they easily entered the venue.

This section of Santa Monica Avenue is more than 20 meters wide, and there are temporary stages on both sides of it, playing dynamic music, DJs, singers, and orchestras, and participants can dance to the music and have a good night, while the bars and restaurants on both sides continue to be open for participants to have fun.

Xiao Yifei It was already 9 o'clock when they came, night fell, the lights were turned on, and the lively Halloween parade had just entered*. When I got here, I found that their outfit was simply inferior. Even the men in women's clothes look better than they do.

"There's an Iron Man over there."

"Spider-Man."

"The flowers on that man's head are too high."

All kinds of strange shapes appear in the field of vision, at this time, when you meet someone who thinks you look good, you don't have to be embarrassed at all, you go up directly and ask for a group photo, and the other party will basically agree.

After a while, the pig-headed man Li Qinglin's hood was removed, and he became a full-time photographer.

Along the way, I met many people who dared to wear and dare to leak, and there was a woman who looked very luxurious from the front, but when she turned around, you would find that there were a few thin ropes behind her, but to be honest, the figure was really good, and she dared to wear it like this if she had the material. Xiao Yifei clicked a few backs.

Soon I met more than a dozen women, with hot pants and high heels on the lower body, which was normal, but the upper body was basically naked, just a small five-pointed star to cover the two points.

They asked Xiao Yifei to press the shutter a few more times.

Other aliens and zombies are normal, but Xiao Yifei actually found that someone dressed himself as a huge "big stick", and actually designed two eggs at his feet, which is too vivid and realistic. There are still many women vying to take pictures with him.

The coolest thing is that there is a person, who is more powerful than the gilly suit worn by a sniper, and the whole person can't see human nature at all, just a bunch of moving weeds, maybe he plays the aquatic weeds in "Plants vs. Zombies"? If you want to take a picture with him, you have to help him dig out his face.

Xiao Yifei also saw Anubis dressed as a dog-headed body, and there were also people dressed as pharaohs, and the rotten street was a vampire like Xiao Yifei, or a wizard, and some people were lazy and wrapped their bodies with rolling paper as mummies, but unfortunately they were torn apart, probably taken to wipe their noses.

By 11 o'clock in the evening, they were only halfway there, and there was a TV station interview car, and a pretty catwoman was interviewed by the host, probably some celebrity, after all, it was next to Beverly Hills.

Xiao Yifei and the others got together and muttered who this star was, and at this time they heard a commotion from the side. The photographer, the presenter, and the interviewee all turned around to see what was going on. Xiao Yifei and the others also turned to look.

It turns out that there are bad guys.

I saw a few big men, wearing trench coats, wearing nothing in them, and there was a fake long thing on top of that thing. It's an exhibitionist. Although there were indeed people topless at the parade site, the lower body was at least wrapped, and there were also women naked, but there was also a sign hanging above and below to block the front, but they actually opened their robes from time to time.

To be honest, this kind of parade, carnival and the like are still normal at the beginning, generally after 12 o'clock, ordinary people go back, only some people who like to play themselves are left to continue, at this time it doesn't matter if there is a bit of taste, everyone will think it is normal.

But it's only a little past 11 o'clock, so it's a bit too much. And when they saw a camera, they deliberately tore open their robes with both hands, yelled and screamed there, and made disgusting crotch movements at the hostess and the female interviewee, and the two ladies hurriedly turned around to avoid them.

These people were probably drunk, and they actually came over. The hostess had already taken out her mobile phone, and it seemed that she was going to call the police. But two people still reluctantly wanted to move to the other side to continue.

Xiao Yifei was angry, everyone else turned their heads, you still come, it's too much.

"Hi, man, stop."

Those people were unhappy when they saw someone interfering, and when they saw that Xiao Yifei also had two ladies here, they actually started to make more moves against them again.
