The previous article recorded the November 1-4 meeting in the United States, this article to record the 5-8 in the United States tour of the story.

November 5Get ready for a stroll to Los Angeles, another city on the West Coast today. From Sea-tac International Airport, after a flight of about 3 hours, arrive at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). From LAX, take flyaway bus to hostels in the Hollywood (Hollywood) area.
Look out on the bus and discover that the styles of Los Angeles and Seattle are completely different. Seattle is always rainy, but Los Angeles is sunny. Seattle is colder, but Los Angeles is very hot. In addition, the people of Seattle seem quieter, while the people of Los Angeles are very active.
After one hours of car, finally came to the Hollywood area. After getting off the bus, check in at the Youth hostel first. The youth hostel in the United States is magical, mixed with men and women, and there are several female roommates in my room.
After handling the formalities, we went out to the nearby avenue of Fame. Stars on the avenue of stars are covered with famous names. But there were too many stars, and I didn't find the name of the famous person I knew for a long while.

At one end of the avenue of Stars, I saw its more representative buildings--dolby Theatre (Dolby Theatre). However, I am not interested in the drama, I did not go in to see.

Since just to Los Angeles more tired, stroll through the avenue of stars to return to the hostel rest.


November 6

Early this morning, I took a subway ride to Universal Studio (Universal Studios) north of Hollywood. It's a very famous place. Be aware that many blockbuster titles have this logo of Universal Studio.


Universal Studio itself is built on a mountain, take the subway station at the door of the shuttle bus along the winding mountain road after a few and then came to its door.

A television worker's sculpture was seen at the entrance to Universal Studio. Suddenly found this sculpture is very similar to our school campus description of television workers sculpture.

The sculpture in the campus is almost identical except for the posture.

One of the most important projects in Universal Studio is to take a small train to visit the studio. It may be that Chinese tourists are more likely to have a small train with Chinese commentary.

The staff sent 3D glasses to each visitor to watch 4D movies during the visit. 4D movies are very real, for example, in the "King Kong" movie, you can see the scene of King Kong and Tyrannosaurus rex fighting. When Tyrannosaurus rex opened his mouth and yelled at our audience, it was obvious that some saliva had sprayed on us @[email protected].

The original sunny scene was raining cats and dogs in a twinkling. Meanwhile, a torrent of torrents broke out on the other side of the little train.

Here is the scene of the movie "Great White Shark". It's hard to imagine the small pond simulating the Atlantic and Pacific scenes. While we were quietly watching the scene, suddenly the big shark came out of the water and scared us all.

The scene of the wreckage of the plane crash is quite similar.

After visiting the World Film studios, we continued to stroll through its studios. There are many entertainment facilities in the city that are related to movies. The Transformers pavilion, for example, contains a very real 4D movie experience. What impressed me most was that the evil Transformers had fired a missile at us, and the missile exploded above us, and felt a fiery glow above.

"Jurassic Park" provides water rafting projects. Our boat was explored in the primitive jungle, surrounded by a variety of dinosaurs. Drifting in the end from the height of a similar to the free-fall sprint, for my very fear of "weightlessness" experience, it is too exciting.

Watch a live show in the world of water. The performance was wonderful, and several times saw the actors jump directly from a few floors of the table to the water, and was moved by their professionalism. The only drawback is that the English lines say too fast, do not fully understand what they are saying, only rely on the picture speculation plot ⊙_⊙.

After coming out of Universal studio, he took the bus to Santa Monica (Santa Monica) beach west of Los Angeles. The distance between Santa Monica and Hollywood was very long, and it took nearly 1 hours for the car to arrive. The area of Santa Monica Beach is very large, and it takes a long walk from the beach to the seaside.

The view from the beach was perfect.

Looking back from the seaside Los Angeles is a different kind of scenery. The Los Angeles area has a particularly large number of palm trees, and the roadside trees are mostly palm trees.

In Santa Monica Pier ate a Pier burger burger, which tasted very good.


November 7I'm going to return to Seattle from L.A. today. The driver of the bus from Hollywood to LAX airport broke his credit card, and he did not take the cash but was free of all the tickets.

As early as the airport, idle nothing so I took a copy of "Los Angeles Times" looked up.

The plane took off and looked Los Angeles, and it felt good. Next to the wings of the airplane is the Santa Monica beach I've been to.
American cities like Seattle and Los Angeles are very different from Chinese cities in the "high-rise distribution": Only a handful of high-rise buildings in the United States are located in the city's downtown, and most of the rest of the city is a one or two-storey cottage like a big pie.

November 8Today is the last full day in the United States. In the morning, I'm going to Seattle famous University University of Washington (Washington University) to see. Remember that before looking at the x264 source code, it has been noted from the code note that its name is Loren Merritt the author is from University of Washington. But thought the university was in Washington, D.C., and did not expect to be in Seattle.
Universities in the United States generally have no walls, so it's hard to tell where the campus borders are. After a stroll, he reached the front door of the house. At the front door a piece of green lawn has been extended to the distance of the teaching building. There are few people on the main road of the campus, which gives people a very quiet feeling.
Along the front door of the lawn to the direction of the teaching building, suddenly saw the sky flew over a large bird, very spectacular.

The teaching building on campus is characterized by Western classical architecture, which makes people wonder if it is 21st century.


A few pillars stand on the central square of the campus. One of them reads: "Be boundless", do not know if this is their university motto? It is said that the University of Washington Guannober Prize winner is more than 10, it is really admire.


Looking back from the central plaza, the view is good.


After visiting Washington University, he went to the waterfront area of Seattle and tried to run out of the unused city pass. First came the Seattle Aquarium (Seattle Aquarium).
The aquarium contains a variety of marine life, more suitable for children to visit.
There is a water tank with a lot of jellyfish, give me a very deep impression.
After visiting the aquarium, I came to Pier 55 to sail around Puget Bay by ship.
The ship travelled far from the mainland and looked back at the Seattle view.
From the boat to the downtown of Seattle.

November 9Today is the day to leave. After the morning, take the link light rail to SEA-TAC International Airport. Although at the station to buy a light rail ticket, but did not find the pick-up ticket to the place, the confused escape of a ticket @[email protected].
The plane took off in the afternoon when the sun was good, and the clouds were shining with golden light under the sun.

There were some misty snow-capped mountains under the plane. After looking at the map, I learned that this should be the snowy mountain on the Olympic Peninsula (Olympic Peninsula) in western Seattle.

As the flight is the inverse of the Earth's rotation, the sun has been shining from beginning to the west of the horizon.

Seven o'clock arrival at Beijing Capital International Airport T2 Terminal.
