We spent only 7 days in US. At first, we were in LA and only went to Universal Studio and Stampus Center to watch a NBA game. That’s all the things we did in LA. After that, we got the car we rent, the process waste our whole morning time, because the office we did the paperwork is far away from the place we get the car. After we got the car, the first destination for us is outlet. We spent almost 9 hours on shopping. It’s very convenient that we can drive our car in the outlet. When we buy a lot of things, we can put our things into the car. We didn’t leave until the outlet closed. I have bought a down jacket for only ¥1500. After that, we drove to the motel we book in ***. When we arrived at the motel, it was almost 12am. The feeling of driving is very different from China. It was really really fast.

The next morning, we woke up late for checkout, and the staff of motel was angry and he told us, he could give us 30 more mins for us to leave, so I should pack all the things we bought last day and leave in a hurry. We have time without any place in SF. We got together with my friends, so we have to go together. We spent two days on nothing. It’s very special for us to attend the wedding. They chose a restaurant, there’s a big table and they prepared some food.

At first when I get touch with American, I thought they were very passionate. After I stay with my friend’s husband relative two days, I think they are too passionate. Everyone will keep talking with you like your old friend.

We spent only 7 days in US. At first, we were in LA and only went to Universal Studio and Stampus Center to watch a NBA game. That’s all the things we did in LA. After that, we got the rental car, the whole process took up our whole morning time, because the office where we did the paperwork was far away from the place we got the car. After we got the car, the first destination for us was the outlet. We spent almost 9 hours on shopping. It’s very convenient that we could drive our car in the outlet. When we buy a lot of things, we can put our things in the car. We shopped until the last minute. I have bought a down jacket for only ¥1500. After that, we drove to the motel we book in ***. When we arrived at the motel, it was almost 12am. The feeling of driving is very different from China. We could drive really really fast.

The next morning, we woke up late for checkout, and the staff of the motel was angry and he told us, he could give us 30 more mins for us to leave, so I packed everything we bought last night and left in a hurry. We would have had more time if we didn’t visit any other places in SF. We got together with my friends, so we have to be together. We spent two days on nothing. It was very special for us to attend the wedding. They chose a restaurant, there was a big table and they prepared some food.

When I first got in touch with Americans, I thought they were very passionate. After chatting with my friend’s husband‘s relatives for two days, I think they are too passionate. Everyone will talk with you like your old friend.
