California: LA (3.- 4. Day)

What's up fellas, :)

me,toni,murat,krys,mathilde at madame tussauds

Monday... was the most exhausting day we had ( in my opinion ) !  We went to Madame Tussauds, thats a wax musseum. It was really fun to make pictures with all those stars but tbh they looked really real or creepy sometimes !! :)

Later we had freetime and we walked over the walk of fame ( the stars ), saw the chinese men theater, went shopping and ate at the typical white girl store : Starbucks ! I think the stars aren't as cool as everybody told me before but we still took millions of pictures haha !

Well next we went to Beverly Hills, the area of the rich and famous persons.. We walked down the rodeo drive, in case you don't know thats the shopping street there ! you feel so poor when you walk there cause everybody looks rich and there are Bodyguards in front of the shops ! 

my highlight of the Day : 
SANTA MONICA BEACH &PIER 
it's just California how you imagine it, warm and with awesome waves. At the Pier are Rollercoasters and othersmall rides / stores. The Beach is really nice, we spend it playing Volleyball in the water or just relaxing. Elli and me also went to a shopping area close to the beach, brandy melville  & Urban outfitters are just so sweet stores (kinda similar to Pacsun) ! 

can you believe that a Vodka star exist ?

We ate at a Italian restaurant and went home to the Hotel, of course we had to go to the Pool again..


(The club is going up on a.. ) TUESDAY.. was our Disneyland Day !
For a Girl like me, which was obssesed with disney as she was younger, is the first time at disneyland awesome ! And I've to say it was soooo cool ! I met the definitely real Disneyprincesses !!! Can you guys believe that, in case you don't ... I've proof cause I took pictures with them :3

We rode many rollercoasters or rides like the tower of terror which was a freefall-tower and if you know me well you probably know that I'm afraid of heights so it was a huge step to ride that thing. the good part of it was that we had fast-passes so we don't have to wait in line.. with one of those we went to the cars ride, which was my favorite cause my friends and I raced against each other in cars ( that was so fun) ! 

After a great last day in Disneyland and LA we went to the Hotel with the hot tube and had our last beauty sleep in Los Angeles.

TO BE CONTINUED tomorrow... with San Francisco !

Love Maxine :)

California-Trip: LA (1.-2. day)

Hey Guys,
I decided to write my post's in english, so my american friends and family can start to read those too.
Anyways.. 2 weeks ago (03/14/15- 03/21/15) I was at a California trip (with the Organisation Belo) and it was one of the best trips of my life !! :) I've been to Los Angeles and San Francisco with the most amazing group of people. 

Saturday... pretty much was my Flight and arrive Day ! I flew from Grand Rapids - Dallas - LA :)
I met some Exchangestudents on my way there but I didnt really talk with them, besides Lena. Our flight from Dallas had an hour delay, Lena and me had to change our gate like 3 times until we finally could fly to Los Angeles.

As we arrived at the LA airport, Belo staff and a couple other exchangestudents allready waited there. At that point I met Krystian and Murat, two of my friends later. Our group drove with a fancy looking bus to the Hotel, which was like 20 minutes from the airport away.

After we checked in, we went to Target over the street (thats a store where you can get everything) and bought bagels, suncreme and water, which was more then necessary by arround 91 F / 30 C ! Later we went to the pool, where Murat and me ate and shared our bagels with everybody cause they'all were freakin starving :) ! I met so many new people from all over the world, we all were exchangestudents from yfu.  My Room partner at LA : Milena and Melicke.

Sunday.. was my first day in LA. We went to the famous Hollywood sign & Universal studios. 
Universal studios was fun ! We had a studio tour, we saw the different studios from the outside/inside and also saw some pretty cool places like from desperate Housewifes or how they let it fake rain etc...

What you maybe don't know is that Universals also have a themepark. They've cool rides which are in 3D and they just kinda move.. I can't really discribe that ! It was just awesome :) We went to the Hardrock cafe for dinner, it honestly was good food. I went to the hot tub and the pool as we came back and  found my squad at that Day !

Rodrigo - Michigan - Brasil
