Today is our last day in California. We started the day by
walking across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was awesome! We then headed to Pier
39 for some lunch and shopping. Some people were dancing to a woman play piano
on the pier. We then headed to Alcatraz. We had to take a quick boat ride to
the island. The audio tour was very informative and had real ex-prisoners
talking about their experiences. Next we head to the hotel for dinner and gave
out some awards at the ‘Beloscars’! A cool dance party followed dinner; we had
a DJ and danced the night away. We’ll miss you California!

-Thank you my foreign friends for this unbelievably amazing super duper cool week! This was definitely the best and funniest experience in my exchange year. I am so happy that I met all those great people and that I could see a different site of big ‘Murica. Thank you Belo! Jonas
-If people would ask me how to describe this Belo trip- I will definitely say that this week was one of the best in the USA. Awesome exchange-students who easily became life-long friends, sunny California with its amazing sights and, of course, lots of fun every second of this trip! New knowledge, interesting unique experience of sharing cultures and memorable pictures of attractive Los Angeles and San- Francisco- that’s our BeloUSA California trip. Thanks everybody for making dreams come true and lovely memories! Dmitriy
-Time goes by too fast. It’s like yesterday we just met . Exchange students’ lives are not that glamorous as others think. It’s true that we only have known each other for just 7 or 8 days, but we’re truly bonding. Probably because we understand each other. Thus you can’t really see this this much people from all around the world together. What rosalia said, “The country is no longer just a shape on the map, but connected to a face.” That really makes me wanna cry. One of my dreams is to travel around the world. I guess I have to make it into action now. Good luck to all of you. Hope to see y’all again in the future!!!

I would like to thanks BELO because without them I wouldn’t have met all these amazing people. I love this quote that says ; ‘’exchange is the best year of your life so far. Without a doubt, it’s something no one back at home will ever truly understand’’. It’s soooo true!! This week was one of the best of my exchange. I will never forget anything. I discovered two cities that I dreamed of and I met exchange students, the people who understand you the most. I’m so glad having done this experience and I thank everybody! With love, Valentine [Belgium]
I can’t think in a better week that this one. I want to say thanks to Belo and everyone for give me the opportunity of live this amazing experience. I will never forget this week, one of the best weeks of my 8 months in USA. I will never forget the different cultures, the different language and the different exchange student that I met here because they are amazing! Because they can understand you and they are living just like you. I’m so glad to be here and I’m so sad for leave. Thanks everybody for these amazing 8 days! See you soon!!!!
