California Here I Come (3)

  • An old Mexican village
  • Union Station
  • L.A. City Hall
  • Walt Disney Concert Hall
Downtown Los Angeles
The day before going home, our alumni decided to take a city tour of Los Angeles. We weren't seeing movie scenes anymore; we were seeing real ones.

First we went to an old Mexican village in the middle of the city. We saw how the earliest people's lifestyle and architecture differed form that of the Americans.

The second stop was Union Station, which is over 75 years old but still operational.

The third place was city hall. We went to the top floor, and the scenery of LA was before us. Never will I forget the feeling when I opened the balcony door -- "A dream come true."

The last place we went was an impressive structure -- The Walt Disney Concert Hall. We didn't have time for the concert, so we just took some pictures and left.

I learned so many new things from this trip and have a reason to study hard. I hope one day to visit America -- by myself.
