Anaheim - San Diego - Universal Studio - Las Vegas - San Francisco - Los Angeles

17-day trip ended just like that. Putting the period sign for my U.S. Work and Travel Program.

It was filled with fun, joy, perplexity and eye-opening encounters. First, when I was asked to pay $100 for my overweight luggages. It almost ruined my many good plans for the trip. Nonetheless, we are supposed to look forward and keep moving! And hence, my journey turned out better than what I expected.

I got to meet travellers from other places: Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Indonesia, Europe, Vietnam Singapore and locals. Thank God for bringing me so many special friends into my life as I was going through the days.

Disneyland Theme Park for me indeed is the happiest place.

Universal Studio is a up and hip place! Youngsters are all over the places enjoying special shows and rides. I was one of them elated with excitement! 'The Mummy Revenge' ride was the most thrilling part followed by Jurassic Park ride. I love those rides! Got my adrenaline pumpin'!
Studio Tour brought you to witness with the greatest production ever; what and how to.

Haha... Watching people soaked wet was another fun thing to do as well!! Getting wet in sunny day is a great idea!




San Diego - another city in California. The Sea World didn't sound appealing to me. Maybe it's just me.



Las Vegas! a.k.a Sin City!! It's gorgeous at night and very very very very happening!! More bounce! World's largest hotels are here in the middle of the desert. It was amazing to know how many tourists came to visit Las Vegas for the past 5 years and how tremendously the city has changed since the last couple years!
Grand Canyon!! SPECTACULAR! It's more than meet the eye! I was totally feeling it. 'Lord I'm Amazed by You' ... Formed way before B.C and has been around for more than a billion years. I was so tiny compared to the great Grand Canyon. I was very moved by the creation of God and was amazed by His love. Deeply touched by everything I saw.




Yosemite National Park
Finally, some cool breeze with elevation of 7000 feet. Awesome! I love the place for its serenity and peace. Very tiring journey but worth the travel.


San Francisco
Famous for its Fisherman's Wharf, Crooked Street and Golden Gate Bridge! The houses were so nicely organized and it's a good residential place.

The City Hall is another classic building which is mainly built with granite from top to bottom. Castro Street, Alcatraz and more...


Monterey Bay

A place where renown artists wanted to stay away from the busy and stressful world. Famous directors like Stephen Spielberg spent a huge deal of money to build himself a bungalow so that he could indulge in his very own kind of lifestyle here.

Los Angeles

Melrose strip, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Rodeo Drive, The Grove & the Farmers' Market, and the Robertsons Boulevard were the only places I went in L.A. Maybe it's because I was tired by all the travelling or maybe it's just the city itself that I lost the interest to explore further. Nothing much could be seen other than the branded stores, high rise buildings, and repetitive scenes.
