Vegas trip

Last week my friend came to US for 5 days. It is actually his first time visiting here, so I know that I am responsible to introduce the beauty of this country since I am now living here( I hope this a good reason to be absent in class, lol),so we went to Vegas last weekend!!!

This is actually my third or maybe fourth time visiting Vegas, but it is my first time to drive there instead of taking the tour bus. It took us about three and a half to four hours to drive from my house to Vegas. Though I am not a good driver, but i am indeed a good " direction reporter". We followed the direction made by our GPS, and I repeated the words of our GPS lady loudly and clearly to the driver.  

Since Vegas is a city never sleeps, she becomes more beautiful as night goes darker. We visited several famous luxurious hotels such as Aria, Bellagio, Venetian and Mirage. The free shows that each hotels performed are fantastic and terrific. And how can you miss the best part of the Vegas--casino! Since I am really not a gambling person, the only thing I did is using the slot machines which is the easiest game of all the casino. I guess it's because of the " beginner's luck", my friend won 175 dollars in less than 5 minutes by playing Black Jack.

Well, Vegas is a place gives people drams and hopes, and I am sure I will be back soon.

My first article writing in US

It has been over six months since I came to US, time does fly! I was living with my brother in his little dorm at UCLA before, and then I moved back to Hacienda Heights and now staying with my aunt's family. Though this is not my first time visiting US, to be honest, I am quite familiar with California State, but there are still a lot of things that I have to get used to it . The most challenging thing I am dealing with is "DRIVING"! I am never a girl who is so good at such boyish things. I never ever drive before, at least not until when I came to US. People keep telling me the traffic here is way better than my hometown country Taiwan, but this doesn't make me feel relax at all. At first, every time when I think of driving, I feel headache or stomachache! I even feel like I want to go back to my country which is way more convenient that you don't need to drive for having dinner in McDonald. But I guess stress pushes people to grow up, I am now feeling a lot better in this driving things, though sometimes I still can't stop feeling the car driving in the back is going to hit me ! My newest challenges would be finding parking space and park it straightly in CSUF. I do prey for god for giving me parking space everyday!
