In June 1999, I took an American Airlines plane from Macao to the United States with a Chinese tour group. I ate a bowl of noodles on the plane: American noodles taste unflattering and unpalatable. The plane landed at San Francisco Airport in the year. Host: Xiao Xu arranged for us to stay in a hotel in Washington, D.C., where we had milk and bread and we started the visit.
The city of Washington is the capital of the United States, however, there are very few people here. Officials who work in the government live in villas on the outskirts of the city. We first visited a corner of the White House, which was the president's office, and I saw a policeman playing with a child. The White House Corner is a garden.
And then: we went to the Congressional debate, where a black man sued the government police for beating someone.
Leaving Philadelphia, I came to this beautiful city of Franklin, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and is a very beautiful little town.
When you arrive in the United States, you must go to Disneyland in California. There is a path outside the park with the names of movie stars from all over the world, and I found a Chinese movie "kung fu star" Bruce Lee with great effort.
When you enter Disneyland, there are endless things to see, there are thrills and dangers, there are joys and sorrows, there are laughter and tears, which is heartwarming. I found a model to "take a picture with her."
Our last stop was to Las Vegas, the city of gambling. The U.S. government built this casino on Shamo. If you want to go, you have to take a plane to go, this city, it has transformed the construction of restaurants and hotels.
I don't have any dollars, but as soon as I entered, the staff greeted me warmly, and gave you milk, coffee, cola, and bread. Seeing that some people are ecstatic, some people are salivating, and some people are sad when they lower their heads.
It's a place where tigers eat people.
We went to the Golden Gate Bridge, and I saw a lot of crab fishing, all of them very big. However, these people are "entertaining" and not for food, and the first path of the Golden Gate Bridge has been destroyed, but it was built by the China State Construction Corporation.
The heads of state of China and the United States are meeting in San Francisco, I wonder if there are more overseas Chinese here? One of our female group members spent 6 US dollars to wash her hair, which is equivalent to 36 yuan.
Then, we went to visit a corner of the Pentagon and came out: I took a picture with a few American soldiers.
In Washington, there is a monument to President Johnson in Washington to the American officers and soldiers who died in the Korean War (the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea), and Xiao Xu told us that the general meaning of this monument is: We (the United States) started a war in a place where we should not participate.
It is not necessary to have a visa for a small Mexican town very close to the United States to Tijuana . Xiao Xu said: Go to one more country, two hours, buy some souvenirs, I saw a policeman standing arrogantly on a motorcycle, I bought a bracelet that was not silver. Spent two dollars and went home and lost.
The huge United States, with only 8 days to see, is very superficial, but the impression is still very deep.
The plane back is still an American Airlines plane, and these "flight attendants" are all big mom type. Our plane is refueling at Taoyuan Airport, and I want to see: the airline is not allowed.
I was pictured with an American military veteran.
We went to Philadelphia again: this is where Washington declared the independence of the United States. The Liberty Bell of Philadelphia, which is the bell of American independence.
In Washington, D.C., I saw a stone monument that President Bush built to commemorate the Korean War (we in China call it: Hangzhou and the United States Aid Korea, and Xiao Xu told us to the effect that we participated in a war in one place, and stood for the American soldiers who died.
I look at the stele
This is the American Statue of Liberty, and due to the time constraints, we can only watch from a distance, and there are doves of peace and little squirrels outside, which is also beautiful. It is also a symbol of the United States in New York City.
