Exploring LA! by Jessica Mathers https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh Let's travel for homework... en-us 2021-09-22 22:23:01 UTC 2026-01-25 19:06:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Jessica Mathers jmathers4 https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1761269995 Before the pandemic, I had the opportunity to see La La Land at the Hollywood Bowl with a live orchestra. They also had a firework show during certain scenes in the movie! ]]> 2021-09-22 22:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1761269995 Jessica Mathers jmathers4 https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1762010478 I'm posting another picture! This is when I went to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery to watch The Matrix! This event is called Cinespia, and I put the link for it above. They'll be playing several scary movies there throughout October! Maybe I'll go see A Nightmare on Elm Street on October 2! This is fun because you can take a picnic and eat and drink while watching the movie. Just keep in mind you have to sit on the ground! ]]> 2021-09-23 05:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1762010478 Jessica Mathers jmathers4 https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1762018940 It was actually raining off and on during the movie, which actually made it kind of fun since we rarely get rain in LA. I put red eyeshadow on one eye and blue eyeshadow on the other because Morpheus offers Neo a choice between taking a red pill and a blue pill :) ]]> 2021-09-23 05:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1762018940 Yichao Liu liuyicha https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1767770293 I went to an apple store near the apartment where I live. This apple store is wonderful. The decoration inside makes you feel like you are in a theater. I highly recommend you to visit here, trust me, it's great. 
The name of this apple store is “Apple Tower Theatre”.

Go! Lakers! #Mamba mentality kevinjiangpy0929 https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1767852501 2021-09-25 22:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1767852501 Tiankai Bao tiankaib https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1767891371 Today, a die-hard Lakers fan and I went to the legendary stadium-STAPLES Center. It is the main stage of the Los Angeles Lakers and one of the pilgrimage sites for the NBA. It's a pity that we didn't buy tickets to enter the stadium to witness the splendid stadium that could only be seen on TV before.(Also because there is no competition recently) ]]> 2021-09-25 23:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1767891371 Hao Chen hchen574 https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1769289088 I went to Santa Monica for this weekend. As the salty sea breeze brushed my face I was admiring the golden beach in the setting sun. It's so beautiful and memorable. I highly recommended a beach sunset for everyone!!!]]> 2021-09-26 22:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1769289088 Monica Wang zhuojiew https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1769424632 (Since everyone is posting about the Staples center...) I've only been in the Staples Center once couple years ago for a concert but I do enjoy looking at it from the viewing deck of my apartment building when I take my pup for a walk every night! The arena is absolutely stunning when the lights are on for an event. Now that I am in Los Angeles, I guess I should probably go to a game or a concert in the future. ]]> 2021-09-27 00:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1769424632 Shuo Si shuosi https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1769766866 This weekend I went to Carmax with my roommate to buy a car. This is very important for us who are nearly 3 miles from the apartment to the school. Although we can't drive the car this weekend for some reasons, this car can almost be said to belong to me. This means that we will no longer take dangerous buses and expensive Ubers, or even carry things home from the supermarket. What a wonderful thing.]]> 2021-09-27 02:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1769766866 9hyxg9yrkn https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1769882460 Right in front of the awesome graffiti of Kawhi Leonard! Even though I am a huge fan of Lakers and the Staple Center is also close to me, this cool artwork of Leonard still impressed me a lot! Hope Leonard will recover soon and have a great performance in the new season’s games :).]]> 2021-09-27 03:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1769882460 Xinxin Jiang (Kelly) xinxinj https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1770123467 This picture was taken last at last year when I first moved to LA. The background is the sunset at Santa Monica which is my all time favorite part of LA of all the time. The LA's sunset always means pink, purple and gold to me. Much love to this city. 

If someone wants to enjoy an amazing sunset at Santa Monica, go all the way down from Santa Monica pier to Malibu. You won't miss it.

You can see the whole LA at night. The whole building is very classical, and there are some astronomical exhibitions below, full of art. It is highly recommended that you come in the evening. Tip, because it's outside, it can be a little cold.]]> 2021-09-27 05:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1770133677 Yulong Wang yulongwa https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1770179003 I went to Santa Monica with my roommates last week and played the Pacific wheel and wester coaster in the amusement park with them. I think this is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The sun, the blue sea, the beach, and the blue sky make my heart completely immersed here. But I haven't watched the sunset here yet! ! I will definitely go again! !]]> 2021-09-27 06:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1770179003 :) orz666regan https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1770233112 On the day before mid-autumn, I went to the Griffith Observatory. It's so funny that I saw someone post this site as well, Which wanna make me change the picture. But finally I decided to post this one. Cause, this view is so amazing. I can feel the energy of LA. That day also have a beautiful sky(LoL, everyday is beautiful). Thus, I saw the Jupiter, Saturn and the moon by telescope. The ring of Saturn and sea on the moon made me feel the huge of the world, which impress me most.]]> 2021-09-27 06:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1770233112 DTLA & US Bank Tower https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1772227102 This picture was taken at my apartment’s dog park.  You can see there’re two highest tower at the back. The one with the light around the top is the US Bank tower. It is one of the most highest building in DTLA, many visitors choose to take a picture at the rooftop(with the famous angle wings paint). I went to a restaurant in the US Bank tower with my friends this Saturday. It is called 71above. You can enjoy your dinner with a beautiful sunset outside of the window. I will recommend this restaurant to all of my friends!]]> 2021-09-27 19:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1772227102 Mid-autumn baiyu1 https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1772270568 On the mid-autumn, I went to the roof terrace of my apartment, where their are telescopes and grills. I enjoyed the glorious full moon there. It's my first time to spend holiday in a foreign country. 
I'm looking forward to the Thanksgiving Day!]]> 2021-09-27 19:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmathers4/70nz6fty96vooddh/wish/1772270568
