ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA




 The next morning after we arrived in California we went to Disneyland right away. So we were kinda tired but I don't really care how tired I am because.. duh? WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY! So we left the house around 6:00 am and arrived in Disney around 10:00 am. It isn't really a long drive from Riverside to Disney it's just because we got caught in the L.A TRAFFIC and we were going to Disney on a MONDAY. Well... bad idea but luckily we arrived after 4 hours of waiting and sitting until our butts hurt but it was worth it.



I can't really say that I REALLY enjoyed the Disney here unlike the first two Disneys I went (Hong Kong Disneyland and Disney World) I did have fun but it's different from my excitement before. The Disneys of different countries have the same rides and stuffs. There might me newer and different rides but everything is still the same. My tip for you, if you want to go to Disneyland again, wait a few more years (been to disney last year in Hong Kong) and if you've been to Disney World, wait a little longer.

CHICAGO II



After our trip to Miami we went back to Chicago because that's where our relatives live. So we went back to Downtown Chicago because we have to visit Navy Pier again. It's a really fun place to go and hangout with your friends or family because it offers lists of activities for everyone. Yes, it also has the view of Lake Michigan and there are cruises and boat rides from the pier. The number one reason why tourists are attracted by this place aside from the children museum and the boat activities is the 150-foot tall ferris wheel.


On my sister's birthday, we ate at Signature Room and it's on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Center.I was so happy that we sat on the window table. Yes, the food and drinks are overpriced but you are paying for the dazzling skyline view! The food is great too. So it was actually worth it and I wasn't disappointed!

CHICAGO I



First stop in America is Chicago!




First we went to the Cloud gate or more commonly known as "The Bean" located in the Millenium Park. What's special about the Bean is that it reflects the city's skyline and it looks AWESOME! So people take pictures of their reflections on the bean. 




We just then roamed around the heart of Chicago, Downtown Chicago, where you can find panoramic skylines, great architectures, and some of the tallest buildings in the WORLD. We didn't really take lots of pictures since all we did was shop because they also have great shops there.




That's a picture of a boat cruising on lake Michigan. 




Chicago is also known for its museums. One of the museums I have visited is the Art institute of Chicago and it is located in Grant park. The thing special about the Art institute of Chicago is that is is not only a museum but it is also an accredited art school.



We also watched a ballet performance of Othello by Joffrey Ballet! It's a passionate and contemporary dance and all I can say that the performance was amazing!

DISNEY CRUISE: BAHAMAS


Our second stop was in Bahamas. The highlight of the cruise. While we were about to arrive in Bahamas we walked around the ship and saw where the captains control the ship. Pretty cool, right? 


I have to say that I haven't enjoyed Bahamas as I have expected. The beach is beautiful but you can't enjoy the bluish water and all if there are lots of people around you. My favorite part during our trip in the Bahamas was the boat ride. Yay for boat ride. Not because I'm lazy but it's because we also saw houses of celebrities. I also saw the full view of the different cruise ships. 

O CANADA


Heyo, peeps! So I went to Canada and America last year. Our first stop was Canada and stayed there for a week. These are some photos from my trip to Canada.WE LOOK SO HAPPY.


The day next morning after we arrived, we went to Stratford, Ontario. It was really cold that I have to change my jacket again. I got excited because of the snow but unluckily it was already hard. Those are my sisters and me photobombing them. HAHA. Not even sorry.



Does that place looks familiar? You might have seen the place or the stairs somewhere in a video before but you can't remember it. Okay.. so the number 1 reason why we went to Stratford is because of my sister. She likes (or loves as she tells me) Justin Bieber A LOT that there isn't a day that she haven't mentioned him. So what's with Avon theater is known for Justin Bieber singing there always when he was younger. 


We also went to Niagara Falls! It was colder and the water is icier compared to when we last came here (2009). We really didn't do anything because most of the activities weren't available because of the reaaallly cold weather. 


BUT! I was able to take a picture with Mr. and Mrs. Obama. This was actually in their wax museum. Last time we went here I cried because at the end of the museum there are waxes of people from horror movies. I went here again and still got scared. 


Then we roamed around Toronto and shopped A LOT. 


Before we left Canada we dropped our cousin off in Waterloo University and said our goodbyes. Then went to 'MURICA!
