My 1st weekend in Carson

The telly is on again. There's a reality tv show playing. It's abt huge families in the USA. There's a family w 17children!

Today morning, I saw a duck swimming in the swimming pool in the hotel. A REAL DUCK. I did a short run to the Harbor-UCLA hospital this morning and I saw groups of old chinese ppl walking to Carson Park. Mayb they were off to do Taichi. I was so excited when I saw the hospital. It is this tall huge building among all the low-rise housings. N I saw the 1st Subway and 'In and out burger' near the hospital. Along the way, there was Jollibee, KFC and Yoshinoya. Ppl here live in small houses w zinc roofs. Carson and Torrance r really peaceful places actually. Let me clarify this... I'm not in Los Angeles. My hotel is in this small city called Carson. Harbor-UCLA hospital is in btw Carson and Torrance; it's in West Carson.

I was reading today's newspapers and there was an article kp track of the crime rate here. Anyway, I haven't been talking 2 strangers! just waving good mornings n goodbyes.

I managed 2hours of sleep last night :( I hope I get tired enough tonight to sleep. Jamie's on the hp now. I shall double-task.

I shall upload photos now...
This is a picture of the Taiwan Airport tt I took during transit.
The Taiwanese are crazy over Hello Kitty. There is a Hello Kitty decorated holding area and a nursery room w Hello Kitty. The females here look like cartoon characters in their tall boots, thick make up and pasty white skin...
This is a really dark pic I took last night of Southbay Pavilion. It has Ikea, Sears, Target, JC Penny and other smaller shops.

I shall walk over to Target to get some groceries now. My nose is still choked up w whatnots from the plane flight :( On a sidenote, the breakfast here rocks. I ate a waffle (Rachel, I was looking ard for icecream!) , cheerios, orange and apple for breakfast.
