<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At the beginning of every academic term at our Orange County campus, there is a student activity called "A Taste of OC (Orange County)." This activity is designed to introduce our students to local restaurants where they can enjoy special food that is fresh, delicious, and not expensive. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MidmEXvkoFU/Ws-tZgcAngI/AAAAAAAAOck/pbh7IBr830sGebNz_Znsv1EoVPpWbMQcACLcBGAs/s1600/20180411_134120_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MidmEXvkoFU/Ws-tZgcAngI/AAAAAAAAOck/pbh7IBr830sGebNz_Znsv1EoVPpWbMQcACLcBGAs/s320/20180411_134120_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This months Taste of OC activity led students to a place just minutes from our OC campus. The place is called Baja California Fish Tacos, and their specialty is fresh Baja-style seafood. Baja Mexico is famous for fish tacos that are battered and fried, and on the streets of Mexico, they will only cost you about $1. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At the restaurant we visited for the activity, they have a Wednesday special where the fish tacos are only $1.35. This is why the line was out the door! If you take a look at the picture of the food, you will see why this place is so popular. All the students got fish tacos, and one student also ordered the fresh shrimp ceviche. It was so delicious! I'm sure the students will go back some Wednesday in the future to enjoy fresh fish tacos again!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This past Friday, April 6, the students from NELA visited the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City. Unfortunately, they are setting up for a new exhibit and the center was closed for observation. They only allow limited viewing. However, when the new exhibit is open, we will return. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On March 1, 2018, the afternoon students of the Pasadena campus took advantage of the beautiful weather (and the free admission!) and visited Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia, California. The students enjoyed the gorgeous scenery before them - the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, the historic architecture of the park, and of course, the majestic horses and their jockeys vying to win the races. <br /><br />Many of the students tried their hand at betting, which proved to be an excellent lesson in English! There is a special “language” to placing a bet, in which a person must specify the race track, race number, the horse (or horses) he or she wants to wager on, and the type of bet he or she wants to place. With numerous ways of betting (exacta, trifecta, pick 6, boxed numbers, etc.), this can be an overwhelming experience for any person, native speaker or not! Nonetheless, the students gave it a crack, placed their bets, and some of they even won!<br /><br />Overall, it was an enjoyable day at the races and a wonderful lesson in local history.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ten students from LSI Downtown toured the Santa Barbara Wine Country over the Thanksgiving weekend holiday on Saturday, Nov. 25th, with a wine-tasting visit to Rusack Winery & Vineyard, a picnic at Koehler Winery & Vineyard, and a walk around the quaint Danish village of Solvang with teacher John.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At Rusack, we enjoyed our own table on the oak-shaded deck overlooking the vineyard for tasting despite the more-than-usual holiday crowds.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At Koehler, students enjoyed a lunch of tacos, quesadillas, and burritos at their weekend taco stand with Koehler's amazing Reisling, Rose', Syrah, and Sangiovese.wines out on Koehler's beautiful Oak Deck. Students enjoyed unlimited tasting in the tasting room afterwards.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The wine-savvy students were impressed with the quality of the wines, and many of them used teacher John's 20% wine club discount to buy the wines they liked.<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Afterwards, feeling happy, the students enjoyed exploring the shops and bakeries in Solvang, and many were seen walking around eating ice cream cones or having coffee in the famous bakery coffee shops.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once upon a time, a teacher and 17 students went to Knott's Scary Farm and it was super scary! First we had to suffer the endless traffic to Buena Park in a blood-red colored van, hich took about an hour and 45 mins. Luckily we were all prepared with great music like "Despicito" and "I'm the One" so we sang our way through the traffic nightmare. Upon arriving to the park with half of our group, the next task was to find the other half somewhere near the huge line of people at the front entrance. The first group decided to enter the park, while I waited for three rest of our group to arrive! The park was so scary for the moment we stepped into the park. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">From the foggy Zombie alley, to the New Orleans Haunted House and even the very loopy, twisty, upside-downy Silver Bullet rollercoaster- we screamed for 6 hours! By the time we walked like the dead back to the van, everyone was worn out. In the end we would all recommend Knott's Scary Farm... It's definitely the opposite of NOT scary so beware!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Last night several students from our Orange County campus visited Knott's Scary Farm for a real Halloween experience in America. For all of them, it was their very first time. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> A couple of them scared easily, so all the zombies and ghosts and other scary figures really tried to scar them to death. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzVuQIqi88jM4BXeqwoBRQcyM4S96RxTN27kXA_xRn7UxT_3QAx8vRLOV-u2SEhUfGtAi0eM6jSblTd8ptAFw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There were many haunted houses and scary rides. Walking around the amusement park and hiding behind every corner was someone in a really scary costume. They work there and it is their job to scare you as much as possible. Some of the people had makeup on that looked like it was done by a professional Hollywood makeup artist. Some of the students had such a good time that they are planning to go again next week!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The students found an all-you-can-eat restaurant to eat as much as they could. After a couple of hours of eating KBBQ, they decided to go home and recover from all the delicious food. It was a great way to initiate the weekend.</span></div>
