Journal #4

California is a wonderful place to live, study and visit. I like where I live, Rowland Heights. And when I go to LA Downtown, I also have fun there.

In Rowland Heights, you can always see the houses around, and you can hardly see tall buildings here. So I was a little bit of disappointed when I just arrived here. But then I find it is interesting and comfortable to live in place like this. It is quiet and clean, not crowded. On the other hand, in LA Downtown, there are tall buildings all over the city, and more people in the city. It is always lively and busy there. You cannot feel lonely there because you can see people around you.

In Rowland Heights, if you want to go shopping you will drive for a while to get to the place. Shops here are more like supermarkets, and there are few malls in Rowland Heights. As a result, if you are crazy about shopping, you cannot be satisfied here. However, in LA Downtown, there are malls, private shops and shopping streets. I really like to buy things in private shops for their own unique styles. I always get surprise in such stores.

In conclusion, these two places are both nice in different aspects. Rowland Heights is comfortable for living, and LA Downtown is a nice place for shopping and playing.
