GEORGE'S DIARY 12TH-14TH JUNE Monday 12th, June Arrived early this morning by bus. Went straight to hotel to drop my luggage，

shower and shave. Then went exploring去探险；去观光. First thing was a ride on a cable car. From top of the hill got a spectacular

[spek'tækjʊlə] view of San Francisco Bay and the city. Built in 1873, the cable car system was invented by Andrew Hallidie，

who wanted to find a better form of transport than horse-drawn trams. Apparently

he'd been shocked when he saw a terrible accident in which a tram's brakes

failed, the conductor

could not control the situation and the tram slipped down the hill dragging the horses with it. Had a late lunch at Fisherman's Wharf. This is the district where Italian fishermen first came to San Francisco in the late 19th century and began the fishing industry. Now it's a tourist area with lots of shops, sea food restaurants and bakeries. It's also the place to catch the ferry to Angel Island and other places in the Bay. Did so much exploring at Fisherman's Wharf. Am exhausted and don't feel like doing anything else. Early bed tonight！

Tuesday 13th, June Teamed up with a couple from my hotel (Peter and Terri) and hired a car. Spent all day driving around the city. There's a fascinating drive marked out for tourists. It has blue and white signs with seagulls on them to show the way to go. It's a 79 km round-trip that takes in

all the famous tourist spots. Stopped many times to admire the view of the city from different angles and take photographs. Now have a really good idea of what the city's like. In evening, went to Chinatown with Peter and Terri. Chinese immigrants settled in this area in the 1850s.The fronts of the buildings are decorated to look like old buildings in southern China. Saw some interesting temples here, a number of markets and a great many

restaurants. Also art galleries and a museum containing documents, photographs and all sorts of objects about the history of Chinese immigration，

but it is closed in the evening. Will go back during the day. Had a delicious meal and then walked down the hill to our hotel., Wednesday 14th, June In morning, took ferry to Angel Island from the port in San Francisco Bay. On the way had a good view of the Golden Gate Bridge. From 1882 to 1940 Angel Island was a famous immigration station where many Chinese people applied for right to live in USA. The cells in the station were very small, cold and damp; some did not even have light but the immigrants had nowhere

else to go. Their miserable

stay seemed to be punishment

rather than

justice

and freedom to them. They wrote poems on the walls about their loneliness and

mourned

their former life in China. In 1940 the civil

authorities

reformed

the system so that many more Chinese people were able to grasp

the opportunity of settling

in the USA. Made me very thoughtful

and thankful

for my life today.
