Work in Chicago

After we left Texas we took aircraft to Chicago because there is a job opportunity their. A Taiwanese president that I knew from my previous job offered us a job at his factory in Chicago. I didn’t remember how much the wage he provided but it’s really a special working experience. We supposed we can’t work in America because we don’t have working permit and we have to work undercover. The president rented a hostel with kitchen for us so we can cook at our room. We did save some money for seldom eating out. We also visited some place around Chicago, such as, the best hot dog in Chicago, automobile race and famous Jazz bar. We did enjoy the city and we planed to stay there for 3 months. Unfortunately, my head got hurt during working and the president’s sister brought me to the hospital immediately. It’s not a big deal but of the injury but let me felt home sick again. Finally, we decided to leave this job and moved to next stop “New York”. Although it’s not a very good experience and I did thanks to the boss and we did earn some money for next stop. Actually we almost ran out all the money we carried from Taiwan due to the long trip in U.S.A.

South of America

After we finished our trip in west of America we took the airplane to Dallas and rented a small car at airport. We have been visited Dallas, Houston (NASA), San Antonio, Austin, New Orleans, Miami and Walt Disney World. Walt Disney World is my favorite and unforgettable place that I have never been before. It’s an excellent place for young and old, big and small people. I believed it's the happiest place on earth! They have several parks in different style that’s why I mentioned earlier that it’s a biggest playground in the world. I personally recommend the incredible fireworks display and the biggest, brightest fireworks extravaganza in Magic Kingdom theme park history. The show was so immeasurable and significant that you can’t miss it. You must visit their once throughout your life and you won’t disappoint.

Our First Stop

Our first stop is to drive our rental car and went to Universal Studios Hollywood. I still remember the most popular games are Jurassic Park, Return to the Future and Water World at that time. We had lots of fun their and join many exciting games at the Universal Studios. We decided not to visit Disneyland California because we preferred to visit the biggest amusement in Florida. Then, we went north and visited lots of cities, such as, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and Seattle and so on. We also went to some famous attraction, for instance, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Yellow Stone National Park, Stanford University, Napa Valley, Fisherman’s Wharf, University of California Berkeley and etc…. When we finished our trip to northwest of America we went back to Katie’s place after 3 weeks. Next we started to visit southwest of America, for example, Yosemite National Park, San Jose, San Diego, Long Beach…and so on. We spent about a month to stay west side of America and we did have a great time their.

After Arriving America

When we first arrived at the L.A. International Airport our friend, Katie, picked us up and told us some special rules in America and we stayed at her house. She also showed us the direction how to drive to the supermarket and Chinatown. Next day, we rented a big Ford car and began to explore this beautiful country. We planed to start from west side of America and it took one month at least. We felt extreme exciting about this trip and I still remembered the excitement now.

The Reason to Visit U.S.A.

It all started from a bid for air ticket in March. My best friend, Coco, wind a bid for two air tickets to America. Each ticket cost NTD 25,000 only and we can choose any three destinations that we preferred to stay in U.S.A. The bad thing is we had to make a decision and paid all the expense in three days otherwise we had to waive. We both felt exciting and confirmed to go in a day. Then Coco and I planed to resign our job and thought about the whole schedule. We planed to visit all the famous cities in 6 months and began from Los Angeles. Next stop was Dallas and the last stop was New York.

The Dreams

Do you think one person’s decision can make a difference? People said that each person must do what she or he thinks right, and maybe in the end each person can make a difference. After working for three years and my English is really poor at that time. I decided to explore a country that spoke English I had never been. On May 20, 2000, I have an independent trip with my best friend in U.S.A. and we went to lots of famous places and took some special adventures during that time.

Saving Money

A man has been waiting for the bus at the bus stops.
After a few minutes, the bus arrives but didn't stop at the bus stop.
The man thought it will stop if he start running after the bus

Unfortunately, the bus never stops and keeps running.
The man keeps following the bus until he realizes that he has arrived home already.

The man is ver happy that he can save a litte money today.
He told his wife "Honey, you know, today I ran after the bus until arriving home.
I don't have to pay the bus fee.

"Stupid" the wife complains to her husband.
"Do you know how much you can save, if yiou ran after a taxi!!"

This joke was from google and I made some amendment.
