5年ぶりのMoreno Valley と 3年振りのRiverside
I went to Moreno Valley where I home-stayed for 10 weeks right after coming to US and Riverside where I went to school as business trip.
I visited Riverside a couple of times after I moved to LA because my friends were still there but this is first time to visit in 3 years. Regarding to Moreno Valley, it was in 5 years!!
I came to USA on June 15th 2004, and the class started next day.
So current Japanese students just started their school life last week or two. It was something like I saw what I had been 5 years ago. Quite interesting thing!!
On the other hand, I was amazed a lot at Moreno Valley. So many things changed a lot!!
There was a movie theater where we can see the movie for $3 every Tuesday. New movie theater was built within 5 minutes walk distance from there. Both theaters are still open.
I thought it was not like convenience stores, so don't make two movie theaters withing walking distance.
And more, both theaters are cine-plex and has more than 10 screens... what a crazy locations!!
By the way, there is one famous spot in Riverside, called "C" mountain. It has a chipped letter of "C" on the top.
It kept remaining as a question in my mind what this "C" means. There was no answer for this question on this trip but I found another mountain that has a letter of "M" in Moreno Valley. As a result it bacame, "CM" or "MC"?
