I bunked at a UCSD (University of California San Diego) College. Rowdyyyy!!! Those guys are into drinking, weed, frat parties and the like. Cool bunch of people though. Quite an experience.
This is the bed I borrowed. Check out the mess!
Day #1: UCSD & La Jolla
This is me and Denise, having breakfast on campus.
UCSD is a nice campus. Look, a giant teddy bear!
I went to La Jolla in the afternoon. What a beauty! Beats Cottesloe.
Seals visit the shore to bask in the sun every now and then.
Look what I stumbled upon, engraved in stone! Haha.
Day #2: San Diego Zoo & Gaslamp Quarter
I got to meet Bai Yun, Gao Gao and Zhen Zhen! Those are the names of 3 of the pandas on exhibit at the San Diego Zoo's Giant Panda Research Station. You can watch the pandas live on Panda Cam.
Check out this shot from the Sealion Show!
At night I went to Gaslamp Quarter, the Orchard Road of San Diego. Unfortunately, I was unable to hit the pubs cos the legal drinking age is 21. The night really got interesting when I met this 50+ year old singer-cum-guitarist busker at the bus stop. We started talking and I was intrigued by his sharing. Just a while ago he had been living on the streets. He had recently got over drugs and alcohol after 35 years of addiction and was trying to start afresh. We happened to be taking the same bus and I ended up walking him home. I even went in for a bit, we talked some more and I got a chance to lay hands on him and pray. He gave me his phone number, I'll be calling to check up on him when I get back to Australia!
Day #3: SeaWorld
I got soaked. The shows and rides were splashing wet! Plus it was raining on and off. I was blown away by some of the exhibits; especially the hybrid roller-coaster-log-ride Lost in Atlantis, the dolphin show, Shamu's Believe show and Wild Arctic's belarus whale and walrus.
Guess who!
