US TRIPS

 

I like US cities such as Arlington, which is just west of Washington DC, and Santa Monica. So far, I have been to these cities more than 15 times. About 12 years ago, I had a chance to see Las Vegas strip from an airplane at night. The scene was splendid like jewels overflow from treasure boxes. After several years, I saw a TV program where a personality said that when he studied in a collage in the United States, he drove to Las Vegas as a graduate trip. I thought that I could do that likewise. I challenged a driving to Las Vegas. At that time, I only have an experience of car driving for one year. Of coarse, I had never had an experience of right-hand steering. It is very easy to suppose my terrible experience. I spent more than 6 hours to drive from LAX to downtown of Los Angels. I needed one hour to get accustomed to right-side steering. After that, I used interstate highways. I got lost several times. To restore right ways, I needed 30 to 60 minutes. I circles around Santa Monica. With such an experience, ironically, Santa Monica became my favorite city in the States. After two days' stay in Los Angeles, I went to Las Vegas. The scene on the way was unbelievably great. I had a great experience at that time I will never forget in my life. Las Vegas also became my favorite city thereafter. Thus, after that, whenever going to the United States, I usually stay in Las Vegas for three or four days. Up to my eighth stays, I enjoyed seeing spectacular shows performed in major casino hotels. After I saw most of such shows, I spent my time for shopping, because on Sahara Avenue, there are so many mega-stores that sell goods at discount rates such as stationary items, computer products, and so forth that relate to my job. My story will continue in the next edition.
