Anaheim, OC
I am now in Anaheim, land of the Disneyland. It is also a land where one of my favourite pop stars, Gwen Stefani came from. From my hotel, Disneyland is just a stone throw away but nonetheless, I am too old to appreciate the wonders of fairy tale.
It is quite historic, my stay here. Today, at 5.01pm Los Angeles time, same-sex marriage will be finally made legal in California, the second state in US after Massachusetts. In our part of the world, it has nothing of significance but in this part of the world, it means civil rights and giving recognition to a certain human identity.
I have no plans yet, which I attribute it to a vast time differences. I am still suffering from some jet-lag. I think I am just going to walk around and get acquainted with Orange County. Nothing seems nearby as cars are major necessity here. Without one, you can feel the impossibility of mobility. Well, I would love to prove that wrong. Let's see whether I can make it to somewhere later, by foot!
