The day Turo ignored us

For a few months now Seamus has been talking to anyone he met about Turo, the airbnb of cars, where you can rent out people's own cars for a day or so, and try cool cars for cheap. He was really looking forward to trying something truly American, and he already had the roads in mind near LA, where he wanted to drive them. Unfortunately the previous night we didn't discover yet, that t-mobile works in Esther's house, but at&t doesn't so we didn't really have Internet in the house. So he started verifying his account in the morning, and started waiting and waiting and waiting for them to look at pictures of his driving licence. In the end he found the address of one of the car rental places, so we drove there hoping that in the meantime he will get approved. The two owners of the place kept trying to get him to rent different cars, but as they only accepted payment through the app, we could do nothing. We went to have lunch to pass some time, we found a hawaian restaurant nearby. Seamus tried loco moco which is basically lots of Japanese rice, gravy, hamburger with runny fried eggs on top. Apparently it's a classic hawaian lunch dish. I had some banana pancakes which were really nice, but the amount totally defeated me, it was way too much. After some more calls with customer service it turned out they were completely useless so we still couldn't rent a car. We walked down the hollywood walk of fame which had lots of ceramic stars on the pavement for celebrities who we had mainly never heard of! Also the whole walk of fame was just filled with weird shops that sold souvenirs and countless sexy underwear shops - interesting selection for the home of cinema.Read more
