Can't believe there's only one week left of your stay in L.A. Hope you'll make the most of this weekend by visiting some "must see" places in Southern California. As Rosie mentioned in her Culture presentation, we often categorize 'culture' into "high culture" and "popular culture." Well, I think you 'll see a little bit of both if you visit Disneyland and the Getty Center. By the way, I strongly recommend that you watch the 10-minute video on the Getty Center website ( http://www.getty.edu/visit/ ) before going there. It gives you a wonderful overview of what you can see there and how this wonderful cultural institution came about. I showed it to my students before we took a field trip there and everyone got excited, even those students who weren't especially interested in art.
Also, be sure to visit the garden at the Getty -- it's one of the most unusual landscape designs you'll ever see.
