LA travel~!!

Above all, the purpose of this travel was to meet my friend who I met last march online. This friend is a penpal friend. Actually, we've talked a lot online, but it was the first time we met face to face. So I was very very nervous.
The first day, I visited Holly wood alone. It was nothing compared to meeting my friend. I met her and her friend. Now I have become friends with her friend as well as her. My friends are Chinese. So the first time when I meet them, I felt familiar with them, as we are all Asian. Anyway, they were very kind and good. They made me feel comfortable while I was in LA.
We went to Universial Studio(US) and Sant Monica Beach(SM). That was so nice. US had many sections. Each sections has their own character like Shrek, Terinator, Mummy and so on. That was all I've watched in a movie. Terminator 3D was a vertical image. It seemed alive!! I'm serious!! So cool. That was the most impressive thing. In SM, actually, I feel always since I've been in USA that the people who live in USA have latitude of mind. That is what I envy the most. In our country, the people usually want to hurry. Sometimes it's good for saving the time. But compared to usualy, I think it's bad.
Anyway, the day I came back, I had become close to her friedns and her family. I really regreted that I had to go back. I know if there is a meeting, there is also a parting. I don't know when I will meet them again. However I'll certainly do it!! At that time, I hope I'm good at Chinese also. Then I'll talk with her parents. Becasue I can't speak Chinese, so I didn't talk with them a lot.
I'm thankful to them. They gave me a special memory which I'll never forget.
