Калифорния – California
California is one of the biggest states of the USA. California is always associated with Hollywood, Beverly Hills, film production, Los Angeles, big boobs, plastic surgeries, celebrities and the richest people in the world. California becomes a place where an American dream may come true. What is an “American dream”? I think it is a dream of having a big mansion on the beach of the ocean, a good car, a successful job and being famous around the world. Many singers sing about California. The most well-known songs are such as: “Californication”, “California hotel” and “Californian girl”.
The history of California consists of several periods such as:the Native American period; European exploration from 1542 to 1769; the Spanish colonial period, 1769 to 1821; the Mexican period, 1821 to 1848; and statehood in the United States which continues to the present day. Those periods influenced on California and Californian lifestyle greatly. Some day I am going to visit California. I want to visit San Francisco where The Golden Gates is. I want to see L. A where I can meet Britney Spears. California is a world of imagination and fantasy.
