Southern California is one of my favorite places to visit because of the trendy food, fashion, and attractions. In today’s blog, I will share with you five unique places you can check out during your next trip to Southern California.
1) The Last Bookstore
The Last Bookstore is a popular place to visit among tourists because of the variety of books and records they sell. The shop has two floors with books from all sorts of genres. Tourists also enjoy taking photos at the tunnel created out of books and the hidden rooms. This shop provides events such as author meet-and-greets and performances. You can probably spend the whole day here because you will find so many interesting kinds of novels to read. Continue reading “5 Trendy Places to Visit in Southern California”→
During the summer of 2016, my family and I spent a week in Southern California. The original plan was to explore the theme parks such as Disneyland, Universal Studios, and visit some of the universities that I was applying to. However, things did not turn out as we planned.
We got lost in the middle of probably one of the busiest cities in California.
Day One, was quite an exhausting day. Well, mostly for my mom. She drove about six hours from the Bay Area to LA. We took a few stops here and there, to stretch and eat a snack. Then, we continued to drive towards our motel.
Day Two, we spent the whole entire day at Disneyland. If you didn’t already know, Disneyland is one of my favorite places in the world. It has a special place in my heart because it reminds me of my middle school band trip. Plus, Walt Disney’s legacy will always inspire me to share my creativity with others. The various rides we rode on were Hyperspace Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Indiana Jones.
Day Three, my family and I decided to visit two of the colleges on my “Apply To” list. Those colleges were CSU Fullerton and CSU Long Beach. I wanted to tour these campuses to see what each college had to offer. I enjoyed visiting CSU Long Beach because I saw the students and got the opportunity to view the different types of departments for each major.
After the first college visit, we headed towards CSU Fullerton. Unfortunately, LA traffic plus a slow GPS equals unexpected destinations. During this moment of panic and stress, came a miracle. We stumbled across this place called “Anaheim Packing District.” We chose to stop here for lunch and then go visit the college. Luckily, the place was close by to the school.
Anaheim Packing District was a cool trendy food court which local vendors sold unique food such as Asian fusion dishes, Southern seafood, and even desserts like “Dragon’s Breath.” From this experience, I can tell you that great things happen when you least expect it. So don’t be afraid to get lost sometimes.
