What a Grand Experience!

By Hannele Hummel

I'm enjoying my time in Riverside, but unfortunately when the time is finished I will have to go back in my country. I'm happy because I will see my parents and friends, also I have to go back to university.

If I came one month ago to Riverside I couldn't speak English very well. I was too scared to speak English. I was afraid of making mistakes, but now I can speak more and I'm not afraid any more. Certainly it was so good and helpful experience for me. I met here people from other countries and got new knowledges about other cultures.

I went in different places in California: San Diego, Los Angeles, Disneyland, Universal Studios and in different beaches. Also I went in Las Vegas and Grand Ganyon. I love Californian beaches, these are so beautiful. My favourite beach in California is Newport Beach, I love it. Ten years ago I went with my parents in Florida. There was also nice, but now when I'm here in California, I like here more.

Finally I have so good time here and surely I want to came back in California in future. It was nice to meet all of you. I'm glad if someone wants to continue communicating with me in MSN:) (hannele_16@hotmail.com)
