Day 5 - San Francisco

Hi guys!

We spent Day 4 mostly on the road to San Francisco, didn't spent time in the city though.

The morning of Day 5 we headed to San Francisco! First, we went to the prison island, called Alcatraz. It is a small island only 1.5 miles away from San Francisco, but it is difficult to escape. It is because of the coldness of the ocean water and also the strict security. I entered one of the cells, and it was was very scary. I could clearly see the island from the bay of San Francisco. Since they are so close to each other, it is said that people in the prison could hear the laughter and music on New Years Day. It was definitely worth visiting and I thought that the history of Alcatraz shows the U.S. history too. After that, we explored San Francisco! I really enjoyed that. We went to Lombard Street on the Russian Hill and took the tram down the hills. We also ment to the Golden Gate Bride! It was very cloudy though which wasn't that nice! But it was fine. 

There were a lot of performers on the streets! My friends and I watched magic show,some splayed painting, and people playing different kinds of instrument. There were lots of entertainment. I enjoyed it very much. At the end of the day, we had dinner in China town. Surprisingly, there are lots of steep road around there. It felt like roller coasters in the bus. I don't know how to drive but I could tell that it is difficult to drive around there. Otherwise our bus driver 'DJ Alberto' did a really great job. We had delicious Chinese food there. It was funny because not many people know how to use chopsticks. But we got it explained and after  After we had the dinner, we were walking down the street to go back to the bus. And there was a vey small plaza In the park were lots of Chinese people and they were dancing to their music there. So most of exchange students joined them and danced one song. It was very exciting and funny moment. So much fun! A memomry I will never forget! 

See you tomorrow guys!
