Pride Of The Web –

I’d like to make a suggestion for a summer vacation travel destination where you can find a great deal of variety in the type of local attractions offered.  We are all different in exactly what we’d like to do during our summer travel.  Some of us want to visit Disneyland and some just want to relax on the beach.  Others love to see historical sites and still others love to play golf.

An obvious destination is the Disneyland Resort, which includes Downtown Disney and Disney’s California Adventure (by the way, the company is spending like a billion dollars on a major renovation of California Adventure over the next several years).

If you haven’t been to Anaheim in several years, you’ll be amazed at the changes.  The addition of Disney’s California Adventure alone has changed the whole atmosphere of the Resort, and with the billion-dollar upgrade now underway this will only continue into the future.  You will observe an international blend of cultures in the visitors at the parks and at Downtown Disney.  In fact, people watching at Disneyland can be a fascinating activity, with a rich mix of cultures all in one place.

Speaking of a cultural melting pot, Southern California in general is a concoction of people and cultures from around the world.  There is a particularly strong presence from Pacific Rim countries, but Europe, Asia and Africa are likewise well represented (not so many folks from Antarctica).

Along with visits to theme parks and the beach, it may be worthwhile to visit some of the permanent ethnic communities spread around Orange and Los Angeles counties in particular.  These include Chinatown, Little Tokyo and Koreatown in Los Angeles County.  Some of the best-known ethnic communities in Orange County include the Vietnamese community in Little Saigon, and the Hispanic community around Fourth Street in Santa Ana.
