3 . Chinatown, lying in Downtown L.A. near the city’s cultural center, is one of L.A.’s most popular tourist destinations.

I had been heading to Chinatown for about 6 years to hang out until 2012, when I became a member of the neighborhood. After moving in, I started to explore every corner of this amazing place.

A MECCA FOR FOOD

In Chinatown, a mix of new and old restaurants meets everyone’s needs. You can find dim sum at Ocean Seafood and tasty banh mi at Golden Lake Eatery. The cuisine in Chinatown goes beyond Asian food. People are still lining up for fried chicken at Howlin’ Ray’s.

Early birds should stop by Philippe The Original, a local restaurant that’s beloved for French Dip sandwiches, but also serves a good classic American breakfast. Night owls will want to head to Full House Seafood on Hill Street, which is open late into the night.

CHINESE AMERICAN MUSEUM

Food is far from the only reason to visit Chinatown. People interested in history will want to start their trip at the Chinese American Museum (CAM), lying just outside of Chinatown at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. The museum is housed in the Garnier Building, the oldest surviving Chinese building in a major area of California.

CENTRAL PLAZA

A big statue of Bruce Lee has become a must-photograph site in Chinatown’s Central Plaza. The late martial arts star once had a studio in Chinatown at 628 W.College St.

Nearby is Dragon Chasing Pearl, which was originally painted on the wall in 1941 by Tyrus Wong. The artist, who passed away in December 2016 at age 106, was famous for his work in films, particularly as the lead artist on Disney’s Bambi.

4 . My father was born in a small town in the US. He wasn’t sure what he wanted from _______, but something told him to _______ and begin a new adventure.

He began that adventure traveling to cities in the US before going on to Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. He took my mother and us three daughters with him and went wherever the road _______ him.

It’s easy to feel _______ when you’re on the road. We made lots of new friends on our trip — most of them are mechanics, since we often _______ hours in repair shops. But that was a way much _______ than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine to cool off when it was 40℃ outside.

Getting along well sometimes seemed _______. There were always a lot of _______, especially among us back seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle. But even if it was hard, we learned a lot about tolerance (包容). When we were traveling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been an hour’s drive but was nearly three thanks to bad roads and _______ traffic. “Did you put our suitcases in the car?” my father asked my mother as we arrived there. From the back seat, we saw her slowly turn toward my father. “No,” she said. “I thought you did.” That was how a seven­hour car trip turned into a 16­hour one, which was mostly spent in vain (徒劳).

On occasions like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were ________ in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the ________. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and ________ one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.

This is why road trips were like ________   universities to us. We ________ our PhDs (博士学位)   in how to get along with other people just by traveling in our old car.

7 .    

On August 27,2019，my friend and I boarded the first leg of our journey from Vancouver Island，taking us to Peru，South America.

Twenty­four hours and four airports later we landed in Cusco，Peru，a city of one million people.Coming from Vancouver Island，where we live and which is only 100 feet above sea level，we knew that we were now at a much higher altitude (海拔)—over 11,000 feet—and needed time to get used to the scarcer oxygen (缺氧) levels!We followed the advice of other travellers and the locals：drink lots of coca leaf tea and rest for a couple of hours before any activity.

We were soon hiking through the ruins (遗迹) and surrounding ancient castles of Cusco.Leaving Cusco the next day，we stopped at the Moray Ruins，which were used for farming by the Incas.Their size and unique design should be considered a lesson in historical engineering skills.This Inca site is one of the least known tourist destinations，but it’s one of the most interesting places to visit.

Arriving in the beautiful Sacred Valley，we stayed at Willka T’ika for the next week.This place is wonderful.We enjoyed delicious vegetarian meals，all made with local produce by loving Quechua people.

You can’t go to Peru without visiting historic Machu Picchu.The “road” up to the ruins is made up of an endless series of switchbacks (急转弯)，resulting in cold sweats (汗)．It was worth the ride though，as we walked through the ruins.

Too soon，it was time to leave Peru.We learned the unique history of Inca，Quechua culture，and the farming methods still widely practiced.The best thing we took away was how simple and caring the people are and how deeply they love the earth and everyone they meet.We promised to be more mindful upon returning home to Vancouver Island.
