A Hollywood Dream Come True
Since my childhood I had the dream to see California. From movies and magazines I knew a lot about the dazzling world of Hollywood. I was maybe eleven or twelve years old when I read many papers and magazines about the lives and love affairs of movie stars. I was fascinated reading about the luxurious houses where they lived and the cars that they drove. I wished some day I would be able to see the place where it was happening. Years later, I came to California to visit some friends. It was great for me because finally I could see my favorite places. I planned to spend my time with my friends and to visit many places. I went to Disneyland, the Chinese Theater, the stars' Hall of Fame and the beach. When I saw the Beverly Hills mansions, I felt excited. When I visited Universal Studios, I was very surprised how they could represent the ocean in a small lake, the Vietnam war on a piece of land, and a street in New York, London or Paris without real buildings. I admired the technological advances, but I understood that Hollywood is an unreal world. It's just a dream, but I made my dream come true.
