US East Coast Travelogue 1 - Shopping and Check-ins, Los Angeles!! Think of US and images that will flash in your mind will be of Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center, Washington DC, Hollywood and Niagara falls.. places all tourists want to visit and all of these, are on the East Coast of US except Hollywood.
