Universal Pictures is one of the richest and most influential studios in Hollywood!!!

We arrived at Universal for the first time looking for work. We felt so incredibly important. Like, driving onto the movie studio lot and all that stuff :)))

We bought a parking pass, parked the car, and walked in. This little town inside the studio is a really cool place. There are tons of different shops (Guess, Fossil), souvenir stalls, cafes, and of course, the signature Universal Store!!! I would even say that the selection of souvenirs in the local shops is sometimes better than on Hollywood Blvd. Oh, and Hard Rock Cafe is located here too. The huge guitar covering the entire building in front of the entrance is mind-blowing. The interior doesn't disappoint either—in the center of the hall, above the bar, hangs a full-sized convertible, all shiny and beautiful, and it rotates. Everywhere you look, there are photos of rock stars, some of their concert gear, and, of course, autographs.

Also, somewhere between the concert venue and the start of the souvenir shops, there are unusual fountains. They are built into the pavement, and a person walking by might not even notice them. And then they all start their splashes one by one :)))

Opposite the cafe, in front of the entrance, hangs a huge pair of cups and saucers, just beckoning you to come in for a visit :)))

Further on, a huge King Kong hanging on one of the shops almost waves at you.

Nearby, anyone who wants to can sit for a makeup session—you can turn into any character, and also become the owner of bloody fangs :)))

And of course, what many are waiting for is at the end of the alley. The famous Universal globe! Guys, it's so cool. You stand there, the music from the studio intro is playing, and right next to you is the rotating, spraying globe. A red carpet and huge gates with the words UNIVERSAL STUDIOS! HOLLYWOOD!!! written in proud letters.

P.S. The only thing I regret is that, due to various circumstances, we never made it into the park; I would have really loved to ride the Simpsons Ride and see other amazing things. I hope to make up for it all this year :)))
