going to LA by train myself

written by Min

Hello guys !!! How was your weekend? I want to tell you guys my weekend because I went to LA by train myself that was first time! Saturday I had an appointment with my Korean friend. She has lived in USA 3 years and she had lived in Seattle and moved to Pasadena 3 days ago, so she hasn’t known about LA. However, we wanted to meet in LA because if we didn’t hang out here, maybe we couldn’t have a chance to see together in here. Therefore, even though we didn’t know about LA, we decided to meet in LA. As you know, I don’t have a car and a friend who drop me off in LA in Saturday because some guy who has a car already went to LA in Friday for travel to LA with his friends. I had to use train to go to LA. I searched Metrolink and bus schedule. I was very nervous because I couldn’t agree the weekend Metrolink schedule. That was terrible. It had only two times in Saturday. One schedule is so early about 6AM, but Second thing starts at 1 PM and arrives at 4 PM in LA. I thought that was weird. Therefore, I had to take a train at 1:25 PM. However, I had a one problem how I can go to Riverside downtown Metrolink Station. Actually, We can go there by 1 bus in front of Extension center, but in weekend, we can’t go there by bus at 1 PM. It has a little schedule to go to station, so I had to go there by train and walk. I didn’t know the way to go station. I relied on google Map app. If I hadn’t gotten I phone, I couldn’t have gone to station easily. Finally, I found the station. I was really proud of me! After I bought one way ticket, I took a train. It was taken about 2 hours 30 minutes, but train didn’t work air conditioner well, so I felt crazy! In Saturday, It was over 40 degrees. I was headache and tired. I couldn’t stand anything, but I had to go there. After that, I arrived at LA union station. Many people advised me to care about strange and dangerous homeless people, so before I went there, I was so worried about that, but I thought some guys looked dangerous, but I wasn’t scary. Anyway, I met my friend in LA station. We had a great time talking about our daily life. If I can go LA, I hope to see her again before I go back to Korea.
