Into the city! Glimpse and Stare...(T3 4th)

My Corner,

Time: 12 32
Thing: listening to Paparazzi by Lady Gaga



My mood did not recover, though it was refreshing after the wake up. I was totally clueless, helpless, in this huge state and city of America. What am I here for? I asked myself, oh, travel, yeah travel, now where's the enthusiasm?

I don't think I had my breakfast, my mum and her friend came. They were all ready, I followed as they asked, out of the house and into the car. (My mum's friend lives in San Francisco)

"Here we go, downtown."

Downtown? To say the truth I don't really hear this term often in Singapore. Down the town, so is it going to be better or worse?

As my mum's friend drives, I glanced around, then slowly look at things and buildings more intensely. Yes, finally the atmosphere was somewhat familiar, the Sun just somehow felt better all of a sudden. People, I saw them at last. Not used to it indeed, people with white skin and some having gold or red hair surrounding me, on the road, in the car. I could slowly sense the smell of this liveliness.

The Grand Hyatt always attracts me in anywhere, this hotel just appeals to me, its colour, height and everything. Expensive, for sure. I stared at The Grand Hyatt San Francisco, I knew there was smile on my face, for my eyes opened wide at last, getting satisfied.

Golden Gate Bridge was definitely one of the representable attraction, its redness was that mature, like a middle-aged man, calm and humble. It is enormous for sure, the design was never that I've seen, what a gigantic piece of 3D artwork!

We were there in the night, drove up to a viewing point on a mountain. It was dark, you hardly see the people just meters away, the wind was stronger than normal and piercing. I gazed down, took a deep breath, the pefect night view of San Franciso, a huge land of shimmering lighted dots.

Well, I should admit that my travelling journey just began. It's always healthy to look forward, afterall it's only going to be my first week here.

So, I will, enjoy the coming 7-day touring around california. Waiting...
