I went to America for a three-week trip in this summer vacation. At first the place was quite strange to me, so I took a while to adapt myself to it. Fortunately, I adapted myself to everything before long and even fell in love with the tour. We visited the Yosemite National Park for two days. Among the most famous and representative views in Yosemite Valley were the Half Dome and the Merced River. I was deeply impressed with the scenery there.

We spent up to two weeks at the California State University Monterey Bay. It was the most important part in this trip. We learned to be self-motivated and self-disciplined before we got started with game design. It was a great experience to learn how to use and create the APP program. We tried to exercise our imagination to create APP games of our own. With the help of the teaching assistants, we learned very quickly. And we also exchanged new ideas with one another and got new knowledge in a short time. Because of the program, I had to increase my vocabulary to get a better understanding of the instructions. I did work very hard for this.

For the following days we went to several amusement parks, like Sea World, Hollywood & Universal Studio and Disneyland. We had great fun riding in the most thrilling roller coasters. Though there were numerous people waiting in line, we still lined up again and again for more fun. While in Disneyland, we also enjoyed the amazing parades. In the evening, we watched the most beautiful fireworks show above the magnificent castle. I had never seen such an attractive sight. It was indeed a great memory for me.

I was really satisfied with the study tour, and I learned a lot that I might not learn in Taiwan. I’d like to show thanks to all of my friends and teachers who helped me a lot. These are definitely beautiful memories to me. I really enjoyed everything!
