A Day at the Universal Studios.....Is Just Not Enough

December 2009.

The whole family went to visit Universal Studios Hollywood. The place was very beautiful, enormous (you can't finish touring it in just a single day!), entertaining (I'm talking about the 3D rides, the 4D shows), and has really breathtaking scenery. Plus there were lots of people! They also have this Studio tour in which we were able to tour around the different sets where some of the famous movies and series such as Psycho, Jaws, War of the Worlds, Tokyo Drift, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Desperate Housewives were filmed. 

Not to mention they also have their Animal World show where you could literally witness talking parrots, and amazingly trained dogs, cats, birds and other kinds of pets who could do so many awesome tricks that you think a pet couldn't do. 

Indeed the place was too awesome, a day wasn't just enough to tour the whole place. Notice the change of our clothes in the later part of the pics? That's because we visited.. quite a couple of times already :)

So without further adieu, check out the pics below! 

Day 1

Waiting for our turn to ride the studio tour bus

FIrst stop: A life-size unreal shark from Jaws movie
that tried to scare us 

Second Stop: Live musical performance from the film
How the Grinch Stole Christmas 

Third Stop: Movie sets where some of the famous movie scenes
were shot. I..uh.. actually forgot what movie that was :p

Fourth Stop: Famous Cars from Famous Movies.
The car from the Mummy Returns

One of Tokyo Drift's amazing cars 

Popular car used from the movie Jurassic Park 

And just when you thought it couldn't get any better,
here's a live performance of Tokyo Drift's dancing cars 

Fifth Stop: A scene from the Psycho movie. Oh, and that guy
literally tried to chase the tour bus we were on
 and scared the crap out of the passengers.  

Sixth Stop: An airplane crash scene where War of the Worlds,
starring Tom Cruise, was filmed. It really looked like a
real.crashed.plane. Uh-may-zing, isn't it?

More pics here!

and.. whoah.. more!!!
Ok. That ends the studio tour :)

This is the Animal World Show I'm talking about.
Too bad I only got one, uh, blurry pic. I was too busy ducking my head from flying birds

Day 2

Ok that's me. Posing just in front of the global sign
Universal Studios. 

And that's me and my brother. I don't have to state
the obvious that indeed he's super tall. That is,
compared to my height. 

Goofing around with dad and bro. 

Check out that breath-taking scenery behind us 

Just.. another.. vain moment with dad. 

Jurassic Park Ride!
