Hellooo everyone !
Today has been such an amazing and busy day, which has become a routine during this trip; everyday’s a new adventure. We started the day off with a big, wonderful breakfast at the Hilton, then headed to Pier 39 where we watched the stinky yet adorable sea lions, then we rode the famous San Francisco cable cars to Union Square where we had a couple of hours to shop around and check out the stores and the downtown San Francisco.

After that we went on a tour of the beautiful city and learned lots of interesting information about it, we walked through the well-known Lambert street – which is a very different, to say the least, swirly street – and kept walking until we reached the bus, which took us to the awesome de Young Art Museum afterwards, and then we went to check out the amazing San Francisco skyscrapers. After seeing the gorgeous city, we went to Chinatown – which is the biggest Chinatown in the United States! – and did a little bit of shopping and walking around the streets of it. Finally, to finish up a great day, we had dinner at the Chinatown restaurant where we sang, danced, laughed, and had an exquisite time.

My two favorite parts of the day were the cable cars, which were a lot of fun and totally met up to their reputation, and the dinner at the Chinatown restaurant which was so crazy and fun, and it really felt like everyone loves each other and that we’re all one big giant family, although we come from 23 different countries <3

To finish up I want to say that this has been the best week in my entire exchange experience and I don't ever want it to end. Also I have made so many lifetime friends and remarkable memories that I would never forget :)
