I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long. "School life" here is a little bit hard, and the traffic is bad. Sometimes I get home late and exhausted, having no time for writing blog posts.
Date: Feb 8 to Feb 10
On Feb 7 I experienced the first delay in my flying history. Not so long, only 30 minutes, that's lucky.
L.A. is the second largest city in the US. So just like Beijing, it has been experiencing lots of traffic problems.
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, commonly abbreviated as LACMA, has a great collection of fine art, throughout ancient ages to modern times. Those paintings are usually wonderful. Those who have a special interest in arts should visit this. But probably I'm not such a person.

Downtown L.A. has some places of interest, but it rained on the day we visited it. We visited the Union Station, which many movies picked up as a scene, like TITANIC. Then we visited the birthplace of Los Angeles - you can see it in the photos below, the street with many vendors.
High School Visit might be the activity that attracts many ones reading this post. Well, American high schools have six classes each day, and school ends very early. Students have to learn English, maths, science, history, P.E., and at least one foreign language. Each subject has different levels, so that every one finds the one mostly fits his/her skills. Other subjects, like arts, are optional. Schools here cares about P.E., and students have to gain enough credits to graduate.
