Day 1

So it's only been 1 day in California and yeah, it's everything everyone makes it out to be and then some. The picture above is where I work currently. When I first passed by it, I thought it was a museum. And if it didn't have that huge sign in front of it, many would of made the same mistake I did. A few things I've noticed so far about California:
1) Weather is truly amazing. But you knew that already.
2) People are surprisingly friendly. The waiters at restaurants actually look happy to serve you. When they speak to you, they look at you like you really matter to them.
3) There are palm trees everywhere. Even when you're not near a beach.
4) Gas prices here are ridiculous.

My story of the day:
Most of time you get owned at restaurants when you order something and you expect a nice sized portion and you end up with like pea-size rabbit food. Well today was a rather different experience for me. For lunch, I walked into a restaurant called Bugambilias. What drawn me to the restaurant wasn't the name but the fact that the subtext said "Mexican and Salvadorean Food." Salvadorean. Any other day and I would just turn and walk away. But being in a new place, I thought heck why not try out Salvadorean cuisine. When given the choice, I asked the waiter to bring me the Salvadorean Menu. The only thing on that menu that looked remotely appetizing was Deep Fried Tilapia with beans and rice. I remember sitting at my table after 20mins of ordering and wondering what's taking the tilapia so long to cook. I was the only person in the restaurant, and knowing that Long John Silvers can give me what I ordered in mere minutes, I asked the waitress over. "Can you hurry? I have to be back at work in about 15minutes." She goes back in the kitchen and then brings me this.
O.O I swear that thing looked ALOT bigger in person. Atleast 3-4lbs. And apparently, this was a lunch special and you're suppose to eat it with the hot tortilla. Needless to say, I ate 1/2 of 1 side of the fish and just left feeling quite disgusted. So what did I learn from all this?
does not equal Salvadorean Cuisine.
