LA

Once upon a freakin' time there was a group of exchange students that went on their west coast trip to have the best time of their life. They all didn't know each other on the first day but as those days past by. They all got really close and I can surely tell that those relationships will last forever. At the trip there has been fun times and sad times but within those times they just knew that these will make the foundation of their friendship better and today is the last day of their trip. The trip that will change  their lives forever. A trip that made them realize that they are almost done with their exchange. It might be sad but just think about how much our parents miss us. Today, we started to travel back to los angeles where the magic of our friendship happened. We had 5 agendas. First was to go to the observatory where we saw the hollywood sign but unfortunately it is really far away. On the other hand, the observatory was closed so we never had to go inside it but it is pretty cool looking so we had pictures of it too. Second was visiting the hollywood walk of fame where in we saw a lot of spider man, darth vader, captain america, and more costumed guys. We also saw the stars of differents famous people that we idolize like michael jackson, walt disney and more. Third was to eat lunch at the farmers' market. There were also shops in the plaza so we did some window shopping afterwards. Then, we had to go to beverly hills where we saw some really awesome cars which are almost all of them are my dream cars. Lastly, we got to enjoy a surprise party from Terra North America in which it was a joint party for Bus 1 and 2. It was really exhausting yet fun. By the end of the night, we said good bye to each other, cried the tears of joy and signing each others flag. We might have said good bye but remember good byes are not the end they are just the beginning of the next big thing.

Disneyland

We started our day by having breakfast outside of the room. Breakfast is usually biscuit and gravy, eggs, pancakes, cereals and more. We got done by 8:30 and started walking to Disneyland. By 8:45 we go to Disneyland and got in by 9:00. My group and I went on to explore the Disneyland first before the California Adventure. The castle is beautiful and it just brings back childhood memories. Roller coasters are pretty fast but not as fast as I wanted. There are rides that ceased operation but after a while they continued operation. I had that experience that we just waited for at least 15 minutes instead of 45 minutes just because of cease operation. At exactly 11:30 we had to meet up in front of the castle for a check in and a handout of the meal voucher. My group and I explored the California Adventure in late afternoon and had some thrilling rides. After all those, at last we got the meal voucher for dinner. We ate dinner by 7:30 pm and surprisingly we found a dance party at road and we just blasted and had fun with it. We also met new friends on rides we go. There is also a big dance party by the Hollywood studios and this made our Disney experience a blast. There were electronic music and rock music where I lost my voice. Unfortunately, because of these we had to miss the fireworks but after the mini concert is done. We rushed to the world of colors show and it was just AMAZING how they made those special effects. Finally, we went back to our hotel. Sharing our experiences about dazzling magic that Walt Disney shared to us.

San Diego

We first woke up, ate breakfast and got ready to take on a day in San Diego. Our day got exciting when DJ Alberto drove us to the most fun San Diego Zoo. Being at the zoo was fun. Seeing the animals that we don't normally find on our countries. After that we drove to the hometown buffet to get lunch. We had to admit it, it is the best lunch we had since we came. There are some students (like me) who had three plates of main course and a plate of dessert. The next thing we did is go to the outlet stores. We spent a couple of hours just burning the cash from our pockets at the outlet stores. Finally, we go to our hotel and had some rest to get ready for tomorrow's activities.
