前两天写的。。 那时候的心声。。 还好现在已经当时那样有一种无言和压抑的感觉。。 （呵呵。。　每次写一些压抑的心情都改用中文写。。　ｈｅｈｅ。。　也许还是怕那一天会被相关的人读到。。　所以写中文安全点吧。。　呵呵。。　）

以为自己已经不再喜欢他了， 可是昨天又见到的时候， 原来都在自欺欺人。 可是一直都要假装自己不在乎。 需然早就知道他不喜欢我 （因为我跟他告白过）也知道他现在有女友， 可是还是没办法忘记他。 2 年的的暗恋， 30 分钟的告白。 之后又2年假装不再乎的继续暗恋。－我四年的大学感情世界就这样匆匆悠悠而过。。　  www.6park.com

刚刚认识的时候， 就只有朋友的感觉。 可是不知不觉就喜欢上了。 一直以来都不干告白，需然经常在玩在一起。而且因为暗恋， 怎个人都变的不对劲。 不知道我会是那种越喜欢一个人越假装不在乎的人 （非常讨厌这样的自己） 觉的如果自己勇敢一点努力一点，　拿出我平常大咧咧的性格出来。。也许结局会不一样。 www.6park.com

昨天觉悟到这几年一直都看不开，　没有真正的放下。　所以都书孤孤零零的一个人。 一度以为自己不够好所以找不到好的。 原来人都是没有得到就不懂的放下不懂的往前走。不懂去真正的打开眼睛去看看外面的天空。 现在理清的自己的感觉， 希望努力的让自己往前走， 然后真正的回到只把他当成朋友 www

这个暑假3.5个月跑了25个国家。 需然很赶， 可是还是体验到很多不懂的风俗。 因为我有个怪癖- 春夏秋冬都喜欢穿拖鞋， 又喜欢照脚丫子。 想照一些与众不同的风景， 所以 就决定每去一个地方都把把自己的脚丫子跟注明的地标（ 有一两张不是地标， 因为那是电池没了。 所以随便照了个， 不过还是在国家内）给照进去呵呵。。 献丑了。

p.s 目前没吧地方写上去。 希望大家可以猜的到。 

 

Cost

• JFK to LAX - Virgin Atlantic = $125 + $15 for Luggage
• Daily Spending = about $40
  
• I couchsurfed so that saved me a bit of money

June 2

• Took Virgin Atlantic 9 in the morning to LAX, Virgina Atlantic is a budget but comfy airline.. so they do have entertainment but everything cost money.. so make sure you bring snacks if you don't want to starve
• Took Flyaway bus to Union Station for $6.00

Los Angeles is definitely different from NYC.. the weather.. the landscape.. there are palm trees everywhere.. it just feels warm and sunny.. I arrived in LA around 2pm and took the bus to meet Joe, my CS host in Union Station.  The afternoon I spent wondering around Little Tokyo, Chinatown and Olvera Road.  It is like everywhere I go, there is a Chinatown. This just goes to show that there are tons of Chinese everywhere!

The best part of the day was mingling with the locals.  Next to the Union Station, there is a park, I am not sure if they do music gatherings every day, but I was lucky that they did on the evening of June 2.  At first, there was only one lady dancing (the lady on the left of the pic).. She was definitely having fun.. I wanted to joined but was hesitating.. I get a bit of afraid to be the minority.. but then I figure.. what the hell.. it is not like anyone knows me here.. and besides.. the whole point of my trip is to have fun.. so this time.. without hesitation.. i jumped in and started dancing... song after song.. a few more people joined and I also dragged a random observers to the dance floor with me..  the music was great.. my dance was okay.. but it was a blast!!!! 

 

June 3
On the second day, I took the metro (definitely not as efficient and extensive as NYC subway) to Hollywood... visit the tourist parts of hollywood blvd.. sunset blvd.. looked the huge Hollywood sign (no pic because I got lazy)... jumped on random buses.. got lost.. changed a bus.. got more lost.. somehow found my way to Venice Beach and had a chill walk across the sand... 

The best part of the day is meeting an old Mexican grandpa who spoke only Spanish.. I was lost and waiting for a bus that would be going to the reverse direction.... had a body language conversation with the grandpa where I tried to tell him that I am waiting for the express bus (one goes chuuuuuuuuuuu.., not the local one where it goes chuuu.. chuu.. chuuu....).. somehow he understood me.. that was priceless!



At the evening, Joe took me out to a few local bars.. one known for whisky.. forgot what it is call.. but it is in downtown LA around Art District.. they make once lovely modernized Whisky cocktail.. creamy looking.. yumm.. but expensive..

Then we went to another local bar which used to be a hangout spot for local cops.. pretty interesting environment...

Overall.. LA is so familar but yet so different.. 

Oh.. one thing I forgot is that.. I witnessed one of the biggest fire in my life on the nigh of June 2.. not far from Joe's place is a industrial building.. somehow a fire started.. and it expanded quite rapidly.. i think fire departments from all of LA came.. it was pretty crazy... the building was 2 stories but the fire went up to about 7 stories high.. luckily no one was in that (i think).. and the fire department was able to put the fire off pretty quickly!
