Road Trip


I have been in the U.S. for almost two years. I really enjoy the life here, and I had few trips in the U.S. The most exciting trip was the road trip I did last year. I drove my car from Palm Springs, CA to Seattle, WA. It was almost 1450 miles long, and it took me 5 days.  It was the most exciting thing I have ever done in my life. I drove through road 1 from Vincent Street, CA all the way up to Lincoln City, OR. And, I drove to Portland, OR through Interstate 5. I really enjoyed the beaches in California and Oregon. I love the sunset in the beaches, and the seafood in Oregon coast. There were too many wonderful views on the road. It was really amazing. I am glad that I had the chance.

I love American Movies.

I went to a movie last Saturday night with my friend. The movie was “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and I really enjoyed it. The movie effect was really great, and the story was also fun. I think the best “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie was the first one which was “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” I really like American movies because they are always really nice movies. The first movie I saw was “Avatar” in IMAX. It really amazed me because of the fantastic effects. I love American movies.

Matthews Beach Park

       Seattle is a really nice place for outdoor exercising. There are a lot of beaches and parks around Seattle. I went to a beach on Lake Washington called Matthews Beach Park on Friday. I found this park when I was biking on the trail a few months ago. It really impressed me because of the nice location and the landscape. I went there because I felt I had to do something on a sunny day. I stayed there from 2’o clock to 3’o clock. I was sitting in a chair and daydreaming. I really enjoyed the weather and the location. I highly recommend people go out when the weather is nice.

Microsoft Visitor Center

       I went to visit Microsoft this Friday afternoon. It located on 36th street Redmond, WA. It was not hard to find, and I really enjoyed the weather at that time. The Microsoft campus is really big, but the visitor center is not as big as I expected. There are two parts in the visitor center which are the showroom and the gift center. I had a lot of fun in the showroom. There are three Xbox Kinect in the showroom. The Xbox Kinect is a new hardware for the Xbox 360 that you can control your game through your body movement. I believe that the Kinect technology is a very important step for the future gaming system. Overall, I had a lot of fun there.
