Mission Beach, San Diego
it has been a week since we back from Las Vegas. We rent this small studio for $1500/entire month. Shea said it’s pretty good deal coz during summer the rent could reach $1000-$2000/per week, it’s San Diego one of the most wanted city to live in US no wonder the house/accommodation/place are damn expensive. Our place has small kitchen, stove, oven, big fridge, and the utensil I need for cook (pans/plates/glasses/spoon/etc) minus the wash dish-er. Nice long sofa, flat tv, small toilet with lots of towel, Murphy bed (hidden bed on the wall), big long mirror from the closet. I’m happy with this place, I can call it home for at least a month, I have n need privacy. The best of it is the location….it’s located between mission bay and beach, it is in peninsula, 2 minutes walks to the beach (beautiful white sand) and 5 minutes’ walk to the bay… I can see the beach and bay from the house. Beautiful!!!!
When the first time I got here, I was kind of dis-liked it not because of the beach etc but the places. The houses are small and jam together unlike east coast. I spent the whole summer in MA. The houses there are beautiful n big with front / back yard… at least you still have space (between you and your neighbors). But then when I look around mission beach; the view, the beach, the bay, the sunset, the food and the people, … now I understand the whys.. it’s beautiful here, the weather is nice, warm and reasonable (I mean when it’s cool it’s chill cool which I could still stand it). i just need to adjust and I’m doing it well. I’m started to like it (but if I have to choose, my honest opinion will be LA; big city, mall, a lots of people, entertain etc.. I just love big city) I’m not really big fans of beach; I love the view but not actually sit under the sun and jump to the salt water. NeyJ (I’m from Asia, tropical country under the equator, bright, nice sunny day. People in Asian wants to have light skin, if u ever go to south east Asia, take your time walk around cosmetic line at the mall or watch the woman advertise on TV, they all promising white light skin).
I have been cooking a lot and I love it. I keep doing groceries and our fridge full with vegetables etc. Loli and Yogi just took me to “99 ranch market”, an Asian market where they sell al Asian stuff, I was so excited and now I have more stuff to cook. Yogi lent us his bike so I can bike around the beach. It is hard to get around if u have no vehicles here. at least if u r willing to walk. I know where is the groceries and clothing store, enough to make me happy… I’m sure I will like this city… I havent seen much yet other than mission beach. I haven’t even seen the down town but soon I will.
Loli and Yogi are the best, they have taken care of us so well… they cooked us dinner, showed us around. last week they took us to San Diego Zoo, the largest zoo.. it was fun… and yesterday they took us to the SEA WORLD!! I was so excited as I have never been to Sea world in my life not even in Jakarta. Me and Shea walked to Sea world for 2 miles… coz we have no car, it was good exercise! We got there around 1ish and had our lunch (we brought from home). We did all the kiddy ride such us; flying fish, tea cup, Elmo ship, etc etc… i hate ride but kiddy ride was ok. It wasn’t scary at all. sky tower ride was cool in the gank..i could see San Diego city, beautiful! we wasted no chance so we did it all (pretty much everything) pet stadium, wild artic, penguin encounter, dolphin stadium, shark encounter, Shamu (whale) stadium, Sea lion and Otter stadium, etc … yes there is always the first time for everything and yesterday was my first time to see the real shark, dolphin, whales, polar beach, all the sea wild animals....
it was nice to share sea world time with Loli and Yogi coz usually only me and Shea. The more the marry, we were there for 5-6 hours… walked around, good thing it was quiet so we didn’t really have to wait in a long queue. Tips; always go to the amusement park or any public fun family park during weekdays coz less crowdedJ . we left when it closed, but this time we had a ride from Loli and Yogi.. couldn’t imagine if we had to walk another 2 miles after walking 6 hours in Sea world. Old navy was next I got my first hoody-sweater (I never have one coz I didn’t need one). I cooked my Indonesia food and so happy Loli and Yogi liked itJ. Happy day!
