New Year's Wish Granted: The Journey Across America

On New Year's Eve, normal girls were making a wish for a boyfriend, and I poked my finger at the globe and wished for traveling. And now I find myself on a trip without a final point on the map. We have been in America for almost a month now! Here, it turns out, it's almost April already - I almost missed it because of playing tennis, sleeping and walking around Berkeley. @claremonthotel even has its own climate: when it's raining cats and dogs all over San Francisco, here the sun is shining and 77°F. #ClaremontHotel #TheFairmontFeeling

Claremont Hotel's Aerial Enchantment

A Historic Marina : Jack London Square.

Jack London Square is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a wide variety of restaurants, shopping, entertainment and recreational opportunities Jack London Square is named after the celebrated author and adventurer who spent many years in the Bay Area. It was here in Oakland that he penned such classics as Call of the Wild and White Fang. The history of Jack London Square begins with the California Gold Rush and the Port of Oakland (est. 1869). On this site, which was once home to a variety of shipping companies, warehouses and other maritime businesses, you can find several historic buildings still standing today. From bowling to wine tasting, enjoy the many wonderful attractions at Jack London Square. Enjoy the peace of the waterfront, or head a few paces onshore and down European styled walkways to a booming bar and restaurant scene, including The Fat Lady, The Night Light and BBQ joint Everett & Jones. Music can be heard almost every night of the week at Yoshi’s, the famed spot in the Bay Area for jazz and dinner. #jacklondonsquare #historicalmarina #marina

Amtrack Station, restaurants, and shops near Oakland’s harbor.

Commis, the two-star Michelin restaurant in Oakland, has the smoothest average taste in the three star restaurants I have recently eaten. Every dish is not difficult to eat, from cold and light to hot and full, but there is no super amazing taste buds. However, this service is very good, and it can even be said to be better. In addition to entering the door, take your coat, go out to help you wear clothes, sit down and push the chair every time, the speed of serving is very accurate, and there are countless substitutes for people with different food allergies. Here we are sitting at the chef's table and the scene in the kitchen is clearly visible. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I smelled the aroma of his homemade sour bread. I kept staring at the oven and said that I could eat bread. You said that when I went to eat the stars, I saw that the simple bread is also wonderful. However, the bread was given when it was half eaten, and the outer coke was soft and hot. Fig. 4 Dried abalone slices sea urchin pumpkin balls, very very fragrant and very delicious. Fig. 5 Slowly boiled egg yolk cream soup, it is good fragrance. This egg yolk is very crystal clear and glazed. Figure 6 middle flounder with corn syrup, fresh and slightly sweet. This dessert is average, not bad to eat, not surprising, although the selling is great. However, the variety of dessert candidates is amazing, I will see at least two alternative dessert choices. Oh~ There are also guests who dont eat seafood, dont eat dairy products, and they also have substitute menus. People who don't eat lamb will change the tuna for you. In fact, when I see the chefs doing the substitute dishes, I want to say that I also want to change.

Watching a live NBA game in the United States is the wish of every basketball fan. When I was traveling in San Francisco, I just caught up with the San Francisco Golden State Warriors against the Denver Nuggets. Even if I am not so obsessed with basketball, I must not miss this opportunity to watch the live game. Watching the game on the spot and watching it on TV, it feels really different! The most important thing is that the distance between the audience and the stadium is very close! How close is it, the front row of VIP seats are directly on the edge of the stadium! This feeling of no boundaries is really good! It's no wonder that Americans like to come to the scene to watch the NBA. You have to sit in front of a few rows. Those stars are running around in front of you, and you can have close contact at any time! At home, the atmosphere was quite warm. Whenever the Warriors launch a raid, the audience will make a deafening cheer, and when the Nuggets make a free throw, the audience will be screaming again. This is completely undetectable on TV.

Oakland Zoo 🇺🇸

#timetotravel The Oakland Zoo, nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of Knowland Park, is a hidden gem that promises a delightful day for visitors of all ages. As someone who appreciates both nature and wildlife, I found this zoo to be a true treasure. The zoo's commitment to conservation and animal welfare is evident in its well-designed habitats and enriching experiences. You can witness majestic elephants, playful lemurs, and a wide array of exotic animals up close, all while learning about their natural behaviors and habitats. One of the highlights is the gondola ride, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay Area and an opportunity to appreciate the zoo's stunning location. The well-maintained grounds, informative signage, and friendly staff make it easy to navigate and learn. What sets the Oakland Zoo apart is its dedication to education and conservation efforts, making it a meaningful and enjoyable destination for families and wildlife enthusiasts alike. I left with a deeper appreciation for our planet's biodiversity and the importance of protecting it. #zoo #animals #instatravel
