The first weekend in American was perhaps the most busy one, we traveled a lot during these three days.
Our first stop is at Busch Garden, a large amusement park which has a lot of rides in it. We spent a splendid day with many interns, Brian, Mitchell, Mathew and his girl friend, and Hernan ^_^ In China the amusement parks usually have less rides, but more small games, this is a slight difference. Our interns seemed all fond of exciting games, they constantly took us to the rides>_ The next stop was Virginia Beach, the place that I had dreamed to come for a whole week. When I was sitting at the beach alone, I felt that I was back in China. Sometimes we have to admit that although every country has its unique culture, although considered to be different from each other, they share a lot in common. We live under the same sky, live by the different side of the same ocean, live in the same global village, so we can also be considered as a big family. I usually have such feelings when I was in front of the ocean, maybe it’s because the sea always gives me the impression of generosity.
The final stop was Williamsburg, the thriving capital of Virginia when the dream of American freedom and independence was taking shape. Williamsburg was the political, cultural, and educational center of the American colonies, and today it becomes a famous travel attraction. Many antiques and interesting items are displayed, also many splendid shows. I saw one in which a man was pretended to be Thomas Jefferson to give a famous speech, it was very impressive. In the end we came to a shopping area which has a lot of cheap items, but I didn’t feel up to shopping today so I didn’t buy anything. Anyway, I am now back in GRC, lying in bed comfortably and playing computer. Hoping tomorrow’s lecture will be interesting.
