Two well-known cities

OMG I`M IN LOS ANGELES, THIS IS SICK!!!

I`ve been in LA for 2 days, and I already love this city sooo much!! Everything here is perfect and I can write forever about how good it is. As I said in the last post I will tell you something about two cities in the United States I`m going to visit. You know which cities it is: Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Miami. I want to tell you more about Los Angeles and New York, and I hope that you will learn some new things about the fantastic (!!) cities.

So, let`s start with Los Angeles:

Los Angeles (often shorten LA) is a big city, actually the biggest in California, and the second biggest city in the USA (after New York). The city had a population at 3 858 000 in 2012, but I`m not sure actually how many residents it`s today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The climate in LA is a Mediterranean climate. That will say that it`s warm and dry summers and rainy and mild winters. In summer the temperature can come over 32 °C, and the warmest month is August.  In the winter it can be over 19 °C, but the temperature is about 14-15 °C. The coldest temperature that has been measured in LA is -2, 2 °C in 1949.

The city is known for the Hollywood sign. The letters is 15 meters high and 9 meters width. It`s not so important for me to see the sign, but it`s of course fun to have been there. So, if I have time I want to see it.

 

 

It`s so much to do and to see in Los Angeles, and although USA has a lot of fantastic cities I think LA must be my absolute favorite. And now I will to tell you a little bit about (some few) tourist attractions in the city.

One of them is Disneyland, an attraction I will visit.

Disneyland is may be one of the world`s most famous amusement park. A millions of people visit the park every year. The park opened in 1955 and has been bigger and bigger for every year. The park has four departments; Fantasyland, Frontierland, Adventureland and Tomorrowland – in all of the departments you can take rides and roller coasters till you spewing. I will go to the park on Tuesday and I`m sooo excited, I really love roller coasters!!

Another really popular attraction in Los Angeles is Hollywood Walk of fame. I will not visit the Walk of Fame, because I don`t find that so interesting. For those who not know what the Walk of Fame is, it is the world`s most famous pavement. It goes in Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, with over 2300 stars with names from the entertainment industry. Totally is Walk of Fame in well over 5 kilometer.

Universal Studios is also a well-known amusement park. Because I will go to the Disneyland, I`m not sure if I will go to the Universal Studios too, although I really want it. This is a film studio and theme park, were you can see the real Studios soundstages and sets.

Do you think LA is a fantastic place??? I think!!

Now, let`s talk about another beautiful place; New York!!! I`ve not been there yet, but in a few weeks I go in New York`s streets with a lot of shopping bags, I CAN`T WAIT!!!

New York City, officially called City of New York, is the biggest city in the U.S. The city has about 8,5 millions inhabitants. NYC consists of five boroughs: Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhatten, Queens and Staten Island.

 

The climate in NYC is generally humid continental. That will say that there are really large seasonal temperature differences. At the summer it`s really hot, and in the winter it`s really cold. The temperature can be as low as -25 °C in the winter, and in the summer it can be over 30 °C!!

New York has a lot of different nicknames. But the most known is may be “The Big Apple” and “The City that never sleeps”. The reason why we call the city “The Big Apple” is because of the city's prominence in horse racing by John J. Fitz Gerald. And the reason why we call NY for “The City that never sleeps” is because it`s people in the streets all the time!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As in Los Angeles, it`s a lot of tourist attractions in New York, and I will write a little bit about a few of the most popular in NY too.

I`ve talked a little about the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty in my last post, so I will not talk more about them, but they are one of the most popular attractions in New York and I will visit the Empire State Building when I`m in New York.

Central Park is an urban in the central New York City borough of Manhatten. Everybody in NY love the park and it is the most visited urban park in the U.S. A lot of people visit the park every day, and I think I have to go there too! It`s a perfect place to start the day with good food or may be a jog in the fantastic nature!  

Times Square is New York`s most hectic place, with a lot of lights and neon signs. Many tourists visit the place because of the really good shopping and restaurants. I love the signs and think this is a must when I visit New York!!

I`m also really excited for San Francisco and Miami too, and I can`t wait to went to Miami and lay at the beach every day!! That`s going to be awesome after some hectic days in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Sooo, dear readers; do you want to go to the United States when you read this?? What is your favorite city here; Los Angeles, New York or another city?

Next time I will write to you, I have been in Los Angeles for although a week, and then I have a lot to tell you. In my next post I will talk a little bit about the next place I will visit: San Francisco and a little bit about the immigration.

Lots of love from Guro
