LA style

I recently took a business trip to LA and stayed at the Viceroy which I recommend to anyone. It is centrally located in Santa Monica, is low-key yet hip and fresh, and the staff are stellar.

At a business dinner on the trip it just so happened that Yi Jianlian of the Milwaukee Bucks stopped by our table to say hi to one of our colleagues . . . so later I shamelessly weasled my way into this picture to try and impress Ofir who loves basketball.

And at the end of the trip, I found myself with a few hours to kill before our 11 hour flight back to Amsterdam, so my colleague Josh rented a car (that only a young British man would) and took me for a cruise up the PCH and lunch in Malibu at Geoffrey’s.
