Cruisin' Around

According to Montgomery County, my brother and I are "Youth Cruisers," students 18 and under who get to use the Ride On bus for free during the summer (with the purchase of an $18 pass). My mom has decided that one of my goals this summer is to "gain directional sense," since she doesn't want me to get lost in Germany. I'm not really sure if that will be possible, but I guess it's worth it to try and prevent it.
Three days ago, my brother and I went to Washingtonian Center, which is probably my favorite hangout place ever. It's so pretty and relaxing :) Take a look!


And that's only the bridge part. There are tons of boutiques, restaurants, and even a movie theater, swimming pool, and gym. I wished I lived in the apartments surrounding the area. And of course, on the first day of our adventures, my brother and I learn an important lesson:

Do not get on the wrong side of the street. Even though both buses are #74, they go in different directions. Other than that, we had a good time, and ate at California Pizza Kitchen. My brother ordered a Pineapple Colada and Kids Pizza. I usually get the Thai Crunch Salad. Pretty yummy!

                                           

Then yesterday, we went to play Mini Golf at the local recreation center. All that can be said is that I fail at it. There were 18 holes, and it took us an hour and a half to play. Not bad for the $5 admission fee. When we were on our way back to the bus stop, I must have seemed lost, because an Asian guy rolled down his window and started spouting Korean at me. He must of thought that I was Korean, and a lot of people mistake me for that. The only words I understood were "어디로", which I believe means "Where?" Either he was lost or thought I was lost. I think it's most likely the latter. I just waved, shook my head, and said, "我不知道," which is "I don't know" in Chinese. He just drove away. That reminded me of how I should continue learning Korean and how important language is.

Using the Blog

Posts from 2012-2013 are mostly about my exchange year in Germany through CBYX.

Starting August 2016, I will write about my time in Taiwan as an ETA.

In between this time, you will find some of my random thoughts. Enjoy!
