Back in La La Land

Yup. I'm back. No matter how I love to travel, it's usually good to be back home after a while. I'm very pleased with all the fun experiences I had, new friends I made, photos I took in this trip. San Francisco was pretty different from LA, but east coast was even more different and it was awesome to experience the different atmosphere (and temperature).

NYC was very cool, but no matter how I loved being in NYC, I still prefer to live in LA than NYC. I love how it is so alive in NYC, I love the subway system, the Italian food, the snow, the shopping, the Broadway shows, the going out till 5am in the morning (bars close at 2am in LA), etc. I also find that people in NYC seem to enjoy live a bit more, at least from my observation. However, I hate the stinky-ness, the expensive-ness, and the uptight-ness of NYC. So yes, I prefer the more casual, relaxed, and sunny California for the long term or at least for now.

Here is a picture I took of the famous Rockefeller Center ice skating rink with the famous humongous Christmas tree (which was not so impressive in my opinion).
