im here in san francisco right now, family vacation thing. we're supposed to get up at 4 but i said screw it and am stayin up all night. first night i've had internet access all week, seems like im missing a lot back home :( this "vacation" has been pretty lame. left sunday on christmas day - drove to DC and waited 3 hrs for the plane to LA, very boring. the flight was ok, watched cinderella man - it was ok, but the jet lag was a no bueno. got to LA at night and just got a hotel and slept. really lame christmas day. turns out my mom lied to me about the trip, its actually ends saturday (much longer than she explained) and its with a tour group... all koreans... god damn. this trip has reinforced my hatred of koreans and why i think they're so annoying. im not enjoying this trip at all, never wanted to go. the sight seeing is kinda cool but i'd still prefer to just sit at home all break. i finished college apps before i left, it still hasnt hit me yet that im completely free and this is what i've been waiting so long for. i feel like i might have forgotten a section though and screwed up somewhere.
been able to see a lot of the west coast on this trip. started off in LA but didnt really get to look around (had to stick with the lame tour group), then drove to vegas - long drive but it was cool seeing vegas. its def not a place for children or women... except lesbians. there's ads everywhere for strippers, hookers, adult shows, etc. even on the street lights where you push the button to cross the street there are stickers all over the pole with ads for hookers. all the neon lights were cool. saw a lot of the famous casinos and hotels: the belagio (oceans 11!!), binions (world series of poker), the 4 queens, the palms, hilton, mgm grand. i also saw the world's biggest tv there - 200 yrds long (2 football fields), friggin insane. the next day we went to the grand canyon, another long drive. all i can say is.... its really big, like whoa. and there's no railing anywhere so you're prone to fall at anytime to the depths of 6000+ ft. i got to take a plane tour where you fly over the canyon and see everything from above, that was pretty neat but boring. the day after we visited some ghost town where gold diggers used to be - that was really lame. then went to fresno at night to see the colorado river. i instead went straight to the hotel and watched college football. rivers are boring to watch. but thats just me. today, er.. yesterday rather, we went to yosemite nat'l park. it was cold as ice. this place too was also very big. the waterfall was pretty sweet to see but the trip is still boring. i was really pissed cause the tour guide made me and my bro throw away our hot chocolates casue they arent allowed on the tour bus but everyone after us had coffee and crap and he didnt say anything... that ass, i hate him so much, this is just one of many things he's done to annoy me. and now we're in san fran... city is kinda cool being all hilly and mountainous and roads being so steep... but its still filled with gay people. went on a ferry tour to see the golden gate bridge and yes it looks just like it did in full house... nothing spectacular really. oh and we also saw alkatraz and all i could think was: scotty z! the island didnt seem the scary, and there's a big touring thing so you see a lot of people walking around on it... not intimidating at all. and its really close to the shore, only like a mile off coast, i thought it was quite a bit further away. well, thats what i've gotten to see thus far. cool seing the west coast and some of the country's landmarks but i'd much rather be at home right now. long bus rides in between the sight seeing makes it really lame. the tour is also really strict on meals where the times are set and they prepicked which restaurants we eat at, but the worst part... they prechose the menu, we have no choice in what we eat. its always korean restaurants and they pick the cheapest thing on the menu and its just god awful. i like korean food but this is waaaay too much of it, i need a burger. and about 70%+ of the meals have been some sort of korean soup. soup is not a meal. i have no idea how anyone would get full off soup. i've complained a lot this trip and i know its pissed off my parents but i dont really care. its supposed to be a family trip but it always turns out badly. i dont feel like rambling about why we dont get along and what things happened to prove it but i really just want to go home.
i've been wanting to call people while away but the time difference thing makes it hard, the only free time i have is at night and by this time its like 12 or 1 over on the east coast and i dont feel like bothering anyone then. done a lot of thinking on the long drives, none of which i care to share at the moment. i'll be home saturday afternoon, i wanna hang out - its been too long. hope everyone's having fun on their break.
