Hello Sam. I'm Dr. Halja Död a recent transplant from the European Union myself. Welcome to Orange County and the no dreams club.
I'm still learning and exploring the county one night at a time. There's far too much to see and do here to attempt to take it all in a single weekend, but I could tell you where there's a multitude of good shopping [locations of a few high end shops], a few bars and restaurants [locations including Lucifer's place], and the sweetest surfing spot.
There's a burlesque club, hm? Now that's interesting.
