I LOVE the Metreon. So much nifty stuff, and lots of video games. Video games nerds should really check out the Metreon. Plus there’s DDR! Yay!

Um…the theatre? Never been there. The shops? Didn’t know there were any. But the GAMES!

Oh man, all of the students in the overseas program couldn’t wait to go back to Union Square! But that’s because they had money. Lots of money. Nothing but Ross is cheap at Union Square, but everything is fun to look at. (Especially Tiffany&Co, because they put these horrible bag-looking dresses on mannequins and show them off through the windows as if they’re actually cute.)

But anyway, check out Niketown. Just don’t buy their shoes, ‘cause the only ones cheaper than $200 are ugly.

It’s a touristy place, mostly, except for the areas close to where people live. I went there with a group of Korean and Chinese students during work and they were SO not impressed, but it’s a cute area. Lots of good food and trinkets to take home.

It’s a carnival every day at Venice Beach. Tons of crazy people live here, and most of them perform in front of the shops. I’d love to go back here sometime!

The concourses in the Chicago airport are CRAZY. Traffic’s evil, and I was only there one day, but Chicago is amazing and full of pretty skyscrapers!

I went to Cincinnati to visit the many museums (and malls) there. I loved the Yosemite exhibit in Cincinnati; lots of old collected artworks from famous people (who aren’t so famous these days, as I’ve forgotten their names already). The malls are kinda average and pretty pricey, though.
