Lunch and afternoon at the beach with Sepideh!!

The Vegas Buffet at Del Amo mall is an excellent place to experience many different types of food! Students and I enjoyed talking about different foods in various cultures. 

After we filled our bellies, we went down to beautiful Hermosa Beach. We we took a tranquil walk on the beach and enjoyed the relaxing scenery. We talked about many different topics, however, the most interesting conversation was about the advantages and disadvantages of living in the U.S. 

The students' perspectives were all very unique. It was a great day indeed! 

Hot Chicken Wings With Jasmin!

Dear ladies,

It's always hard to say goodbye, but unfortunately that time has come for me to say goodbye to my lovely classmates and nice teachers. As our farewell lunch, my classmates and I chose Alondra Hot Wings.

I really appreciated that Ms. J drove us there. It was quite a surprise that there was a crowd so early. After we were seated, the server served us with plates. However, we  found there were some sauces and food leftover on the plates, and it felt oily. We had to ask to change them. Then the server forgot to provide us with the utensils until we asked again. This restaurant's service was quite slow and unsatisfying.

We ordered 3 dishes which made us quite full. 16 pieces of chicken wings with 2 flavors - one half lemon pepper & the other half teriyaki. Both of them were very salty, especially for the lemon pepper ones. I think the cook might have inadvertently shook his wrist too much. LOL.

Following the wings, came the pastrami chili fries, which was a generous portion. It was garlic fries (I think) covered with chili sauce, cheddar cheese, and topped with pastrami. It was good but high in calories.

Later, our Godfather pizza arrived. This pizza was perfect for meat lovers, like us, with pepperoni, sausage, and ham as toppings. We thought it tasted even better than Costco pizza.

However, considering these huge plates, we saved some room for dessert - triple chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Thank you Ms. J for teaching me a new expression "a la mode." 

Although the service and the food were not satisfactory, we still had an enjoyable time. It will be a cherished memory for us. I'd like to thank Ms. J again for these past 2 months. To my classmates in level 7 Sophie and Lydia, thanks for your help. I hope we keep in touch .

Love,

Summer

Camarillo Air Show & Dinner at BJ's

 

 

On Saturday August 23rd, teacher John from LSI Downtown, led a group of students to the Camarillo Air Show, a local airport in Ventura County. We were able to see a flying show from many vintage aircraft, the Red Bull aerobatic helicopter, some great acrobatic flying from Vicky Benzing, and a re-enactment of a paratrooper jump from an actual C-47 that participated in Operation Overloard in France in 1944. There was also a classic car show and various vendors selling food and souvenirs. After an afternoon of walking around the airport, we enjoyed an American food dinner and drinks at BJ's in Woodland Hills in our own private room. Everyone had a great time!! @LSILA
