We left early after breakfast on a coach. The coach has WiFi that i did not use. A 6 hour bus ride sounds horrible but it was quite enjoyable. I started with a movie called the Patriot, which was introduced to us by the man that gave us the American History class. 2 hours passed easily and we stopped for lunch in a parking lot with a couple of fast food restaurants nearby. It seemed weird to be eating at a fast food restaurant in the middle of a place that looks like a desert.
I ate a burger at Carl's Junior and shared some blue cheese fries with my friends. My friends and I went over to a convenience store and decided to buy a packet of beef jerky to try, having seen some American teenagers to like it. We continued our journey towards LA, i noticed that sometimes, the right of the bus is a barren land while the left is full of greenery. The plantations were mostly some type of nuts and maybe tomatoes as i saw around 3 trucks of tomatoes drive past the bus.
Getting close to LA and I'm starting to see more buildings. We drove past a water body, an amusement park and CalArts.
We arrived at Holiday Inn at Burbank California. There were much fewer Asian than there were in San Francisco. We walked around near the hotel and saw many eateries, a game store and a small shopping mall. We had dinner at an American diner with a retro theme. There were old photos of famous people and record discs on the ceiling. Every table had a small jukebox and there is a giant jukebox by the counter. The waiters were extremely friendly and 1 of them was fascinated by Shaun eating the tail of a prawn from Willis' plate.
Today wasn't really eventful but still fun. I am already halfway through this trip and look forward to learning, seeing and experiencing more.
