Sacramento

hello people!
let me share you guys the story of my sacramento road-trip, right before i'm off to bed. so, here i am again. im back to my beloved blogspot, finally. this week (last monday), i went for a trip to sacramento, the capital city of california. actually, this trip wasn't well prepared. although, my friend, robert, kept asking me to go to sacramento --the city where he was born-- with erinc and wesley for the past couple of days. so, after i got off from my morning math class. right on 8am, i called robert to ask him on which bus was he. at the time, the bus was about to leave because it was 8.30am already. and, the thing was i went to sacramento with books inside my backpack. but, as long as the buses were paid by ccsf and everything for the trip was free, i'm up to everything. cheap ass freddie!

on the way to sacramento, i didn't know what the purpose of the trip yet, until the other students on the bus were shouting, "Who we are? Mighty Mighty Students!" and, i was like, wtf? then, i asked robert what was this trip about. he told me that all of us (california community college and university students --CC, CSU, and UC) were going for a rally in sacramento. the rally was about the budget cuts for education in california. there is nothing gonna change for international students' fee, however. but, i was already on the way to sacramento.

just to make this post shorter. let me explain about this trip. there was a very very very long line of students walking from the bus station to the capitol building in downtown sacramento, the building where Arnold works. i just took some photos and shot a video to show you guys. then, we joined the other students there for about 30 minutes after we've arrived at the capitol building. afterward, we left to enjoy the city because we didn't want the trip to be meaningless. indeed, sacramento is a really old city. they separate the city by 2: Downtown and Old Sacramento. in old sacramento, u can actually see how the old America looks like (from indian american era until british came and changed everything). trust me, this area is really old, even the people in this area are old-fashioned.

the trip was fun anyway! hahaha...






alright then, have a good day people!
