[US] My All Time Favourite

I have already forgotten when exactly I started my craze about the States. Ever since I am attached to drama series like Gossip Girl, Drop Dead Diva, Vampire Diaries and all that, I just cannot stop hoping to go there for real. Another thing I love about the States is the American accent. People usually think that British accent is so sexy, I won't say it's not, yet, I am sort of the person who likes the American accent more.


I have always been lucky to be born in a family that full of love. My parents love me so much that they grant me my dream to go to the States when I was 14 for about 4 weeks. FOUR WEEKS IN SAN FRANCISCO. Even though I was not there purely for travel, I was so grateful for this opportunity. Even though I am not going to the Gossip Girl feature, the Upper East Side in Manhattan, I am so excited to set my feet on the land of my all time favorite.


The GOLD GATE BRIDGE, the signature of San Francisco. It has been a few years ago, but I still remembered how stunning it was. With the match of the perfect weather, the bridge itself was perfect. 
For the first time in the States, I spent together like a week in touring in San Francisco, staying at my mom's friend's place in Bay area. I missed the boys so much! They are super duper cute!


The best candy store ever! 


The rest of the stay, which was another three weeks in an academic camp in University of Berkeley. I would say I just loved my entire FOUR weeks there, no matter touring around or the camp.  


I have been to the WEST coast, and lucky me, I got to go to the EAST coast after a year. So when I was 15, I finally have my dream of going to the Upper East Side came true. This time the whole family came along. We spent like 9 days around New York , then my sister and I went to the 3-week academic camp in Princeton University. The 9 days were the best of the journey and I truly experienced the unexpected in travelling. 



The legendary NEW YORK CITY was totally amazing. It was vibrant and splendid. 


TIME SQUARE.


STATUE OF LIBERTY.  


SOUTH SEA PORT.


We went on a two-day trip to Niagara Fall through a travel agency in China Town. I was more than thrilled to be there and I just could not forget the beauty in this legendary waterfall.


The 3-week in Princeton was fun as well. It was always nice to meet new people and learn new things. Sleepover, weekend trips, girls-talk and even classes were things that I missed. I was so not prepared to leave at that time. FIVE WEEKS in the EAST coast was unforgettable. I just hope I could revisit the States not long from now. I am hoping I could make the money and by the time I revisit the States, it could be me who is buying my parents meals and tickets.
