Ok, here's an update on my sprained ankle, taken from my FB -
The long-haul flight was a torture to my foot and it looked like a pork knuckle when i reached LA:
Yes, it was as bad as it looked. Not only the ankle but the entire foot swelled up badly. There were also more bruises but oddly i didn't feel much pain.
After resting for a few days and applying ice packs and ointment, it got better. The swelling subsided and the bruises healed. It is not fully recovered though, as it is still swelling and tender to touch. I still can't move the ankle sideways without feeling the sore. I believe the speed of recovery may be slower due to the excessive walking and standing (but heck, it's all worthwhile).
Alright, since i'm on the topic of foot, here's a picture of my the other foot:
They don't call this place sunny California for nothing. I'm having very bad tan now, or maybe even sunburn. I did apply sunscreen but it didn't really help too much, especially when i'm a person with darker skin tone. I get tanned easily but take a long time to get back fairer skin.
On an unrelated note, in case i am too
Just as a teaser, here's an amusing sight we saw when we stepped onto Hollywood Boulevard:
Uh huh, Batman was queuing up for hot dog. You see, superheroes also need to eat. ;)
The charming Batman noticed me taking picture of him and he actually smiled at me (but not seen in this picture):
