Response #6: Thanksgiving

             This was an awesome week. My younger brother and his friends lived in San Luis Obispo visited me on last Tuesdays. At first, we intended to go to San Diago for three days. However, we changed the plan. I took them go around the Orange County. We went to Westminster to eat Vietnamese food. Then we went to Balboa Island in Newport Beach to play soccer. They really liked the view of Balboa Island, and we went there two times. All nights of last week, we played poker and PC games until 3 a.m. On Thursday, we went to AMC theater to watch Skyfall and Breaking Dawn. The movie Breaking Dawn is so good, we watched it twice. On Friday, we went to shopping. It was a very big deal on this crazy day, many many people went shopping. When I lived in Vietnam, I just knew about the Black Friday via television, so I could not imagine how it was. Now I know how the real Black Friday was. We were so exciting and we will never forget this atmosphere.

Response #5

            This Halloween is the first time in my life I experienced. I have never been any Halloween party in my country before. I always stayed at home and I did not care about this festival. However, I changed my mind when I live in U.S. I liked the atmosphere of Halloween here. One month before Halloween, many people went to stores to buy costumes and stuff to decorate their houses. That atmosphere made me very enthusiastic. So I decided to join the Halloween party of ALP. I went to there with my friends. I was surprised cause lots of students there. They wore vary kinds of costumes. Lots of Arabic students were good at dancing. Every people at the party was very funny and happy, but it was too crowd. After that, my friends and I decided to go a club in Anaheim to drink and dance. We went home at 3 a.m. 
          When I lived in Vietnam, I knew about the "trick or treat", children received a lot of candy. I really want to follow children to get candy, but it is impossible cause I was too old :((
            I really want to attend the Halloween next year, I will prepare a special costume for that night.
