asian bus tour

grr... so mad i had my camera setting to the crappiest resolution. pictures are so tiny. anyway here are some pictures of California so far.


my mom!


first time eating in LA since 2003:  uncle.aunt.mom.me at the italian restaurant

This weekend my mom, aunt, and I took one of those asian bus tours from LA to SF to a few places in Nevada. Besides spending 8 hours a day on a buys with a really loud tour guide, it was really fun! The worst part of the trip was watching MR. BEAN during most of the bus ride (apparently tourguide has the whole collection). For those of you who don't know who Mr. Bean is, here is a good picture of him.


Just imagine watching this guy do really retarded things for 3 days in a row...

These asian bus tours are really great for their cheap prices and they cram a million places into a few days, but you have to endure the [usually bad] chinese buffets they take you to almost every meal.

I also often feel like I'm part of an "invasion of the Asian tourists" thing. This was especially terrible when we stopped along the 17 Mile Drive at Monterey Bay. I felt so bad for the people attending a wedding reception while two busloads of asian mob tourists unloaded onto the backyard of the super fancy lodge for super rich people.

maybe visiting a wedding is supposed to be part of the tour?
I remember one year in high school, there was like a wedding across the street every time I had science class for like a month. It was odd, but interesting.
