San Frans + LA

Hey!
Sorry about the delay, I have not been able to use the internet for a while + i got lazier every day
Anyways, so, right now, I am at Mike's house in LA.
Mike is a sophomore in Lawrence and Yasushi knew him well.
So he was very kind to let us stay with him for 2 nights.

Anyways, let start where we left off and I can tell all the amazing things his family did for us once we get there

So... after the last blog, I went out to find something to do in San Francisco with everyone else.

Yasushi wanted to go to a fisherman market so he took off with K
I and D and U werent that interested so we went out on our own.
A couple blocks down the street we found Union Square,

and there was open ice-skate ring...
YES!
I LOVE ICE-SKATING!
so after an hour of talking, i convinced D to join me to the ring, It D's first time!!
Yu was just being a p**** if you know what i mean...

 

And right before we were done, I notice these 3 really cute girls (the other one took our pictures) were ice-skating and taking pictures, so!
I ran over and take picture with them =) No names, No numbers, No questions... Just Pictures
Kinda regret it now that i think about it.... I should have asked their names lol But it was the most random thing I done yet =) so i am pretty happy about it... and hope to continue this way every city..

then, we took a walk around the town a bit,
and we found a HUGE RED christmas tree

Then we went back to the hotel and sleep for the night...

In the morning of the next day
Yasushi came up with the idea of biking around the city.
Keiske went with him.
I deepak and Yu werent into cycling so much so we decided to take the bus instead.
so we split up and I D Uwent to eat at asian express, and Y K met up with Nozomi (which I had no idea was gonna be there), and went to eat at some japanese place.

I D Y decided to take it easy so we went back to chill at the hotel for a bit, and around 2 hours later, we hopped onto a bus to Golden Gate Bridge!

So then, we met up with Y K and N on the way

Then we were done, and we headed back to hotel, we drink a little bit before we went to bed, and as usual
Yu were drunk and passed out before anyone else.
I was quite drunk too, but it lasted only at most 1 hour.
Then Yasushi went with Nozomi to walk her back to her hostel.

now here there is not much detail but in the morning yasushi called that he is sick...
and ended staying 1 more day in San Frans where Nozomi was staying there "by chance"

We did not have the liberty of being sick, nor do we have someone to look after us =( so we decided to leave to LA.

Thankfully, Yasushi's friend Mike and his parents were very kind to let us stay even though, we didnt not quite know them.

As soon as we reach Mike was already there and he drove us to his house which is about 30- 45 mins away
It was a big house!

So then we settled in
They fed us with Salmon! Yumm!

and then we got to know each other
Bruce (Mikes' father) and Nancy (Mike's mother) were just awesome!

Mike left his room to sleep on the couch for us to sleep comfortably!!!

in the morning, nancy made us some breakfast (the meal we forgot it exists)
It was really good!!! remind us of the breakfast that never came in Minneapolis (read the older blog about it)

so then we took off,
first to Venice Beach

Then we went on to the Getty (hope i spell it right)
This is an art museum but we were more attracted to the architecture of the building than those display inside

At this point I kinda took solo pictures a lot since my friends werent that into pictures

After that we head to Thai Town
Let me say this.... It is a DUMP
DONT GO THERE!
Its like... ahh 10 thai restaurants in 2 blocks.. and oh wait... that s it!

 

Anyways.. that s that, then we went Hollywood!!!!

yep!
Whats next?, i'm glad u asked

BRUCE LEE!

 

After all the hollywood stuff, we went back to mikes house and have a feast! at which point, we met up with yasushi again.

Thank mikes family, today has been a very good day for us.
tomorrow, we will leave for Las Vegas
We are skipping San Diego since the only attraction we know of is Zoo...??
so we can spent more number of days in las vegas and earn some money.
Thanks to certain someone (no name) we learn how to play blackjack better now=)

Oh! and special thank to mike's mom, nancy, did all the laundry for us!!!!!! Hooray~!

Well, now I am tired...
So Peace!
