California

My favorite thing about Simi Valley being located in California, and Southern California to be more specific, is the abundant amount of recreational activities residents are able to do. One of the biggest attractions in California and one of my personal favorites is Disneyland.

Minnie and Mickey Mouse at Disneyland

Disneyland is a theme park located in Anaheim California. Disneyland Park opened on July 18, 1955, and since then has had about 600 million guests. The park is constantly expanding, recently opening a "Downtown Disney" filled with restaurants, shops, and fun stalls. This resort brings in many visitors, many from different parts of the world. Other parks and attractions California has to offer range from snowboarding in Big Bear, Universal Studios Park, roller coasters at Magic Mountain, surfing at beautiful beaches, hiking in the Sierras, to the dazzling lights of Hollywood. California has much to offer.

Another big fact about Califonia is the high ethnic diversity. The state of California is a popular destination for migrants entering the United States. I myself immigrated to California from England! There are people of many different races, including high numbers of Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, Korea, Filipino, along with representation from many Middle Easter countries.

So if you are reading this and have not visited California, please come on over! It is a beautiful place, with something to offer everyone!
