my first hollywood celebrity ...
Well, after a long flight of 12 hours from Hong Kong, when I landed in LA, I didn't really think I would be able to do anything. I had around 4 hours to kill, and initially though I thought that I will take a quick tour of the city, I reneged.
So there I was in the terminal with lots of time to spare( as my flight was further delayed). I visited all the shops, doing window shopping. Somehow this time, I had a sense of home-coming, all the brands seemed so used to, the trail-mix, and candy bars, the magazines, and stuff... I kind of enjoyed the re-union of sorts.
So there I was in a star-bucks cum burger king joint, happy with a double whopper and cappuccino, when I saw my first Hollywood celebrity. OK, so hes not that big as a Brad Pitt, or Tom Cruise, but he was..

Ray Liota (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000501/)
OK since most of you might not know him ... check the above link...
See, that's a problem (or a gift) with me, I remember faces... I mean .. once seen I remember a face for my entire life, and that has put me into lots of awkward situations, but then that's a different story altogether.
Anyway ... here's to Ray.. my first Hollywood celebrity meeting.
FYI: I didn't talk to him, or get his autograph or shake hands. I was very busy with my burger and cappuccino :)
