3. Lots and lots of oil wells

These are along the 101 freeway in California. You can see them in many different places, though.

2. A speed limit of 104 km/h

Rainy California

When you look at a sightseeing guide to California, you usually see a lot of palm trees and sunshine. You see people surfing, people shopping, and maybe a big picture of the Hollywood sign. You usually don't see buckets and buckets of rain.

That's what California has been like for the last few days. Lots of rain!


That's Costco, by the way, which is 90% the same in CA as it is in Tokyo. Membership cards from Costco Japan also work in the USA! How convenient!

My cousin Terry runs a restaurant in Huntington Beach. Visit it if you ever go to California, and have a taste of some good California-style Japanese food. The portions are huge!



That's me and my dad. Do we look alike?

Vacation!

Our Winter Vacation starts today!

The first day of class of the new year is January 4th.

Check this blog during vacation! I'll be updating it from California.
