If you are interested in some world famous master pieces, Getty museum is the best place to go. The admission fee is free and parking fee is 5 dollars per car. I went there in an afternoon, but I don’t’ think the time is enough, however, we found that it has a nice city night view. The garden is designed by a contemporary artist and even the plants were architect into certain way.

Do you like melted cheese? Or maybe you like to boil your food? Or do you like to pay a lot for your melted cheese or boiled food? Well, if you do, then maybe you like this place. I don’t really understand why people go out for Fondue when you can have it at home. At home, you can have any number of foods with your cheese, but here, you can only pick a subset. Or, if you want many different kind of food with your cheese, then you can expect to pay more. Why bother?

I have not been to too many live theatres, so I was quite happy to go to the Old Globe to see play there recently. The theatre itself is not that big, so it’s good for the audience because you’re not too far away from the actors. They have a balcony too and even the balcony is quite small (about 4 rows only). However, during the summer time it can get hot in the balcony, so if you have a choice, I would recommend not sitting in the balcony. The shows at the Old Globe can be good or bad, but some have moved on to play on Broadway in New York, so there’s potential. If you enjoy live theatre, this may be the place for you.

This is probably a museum that is not appropriate for children as they probably don’t know what they’re looking at. However, if you are a beginning anthropology college major (or just someone interested in anthropology), this is a great place to visit. You should probably bring a notebook as there is a lot of information there. What’s even better is that they have models for you to see for the evolution of man over time, so it’s not just reading words.

Mission San Xavier del Bac is an old European church. I like how the surrounding environment and the church itself were not renovated. I think this place is interesting to take a look how these missionaries tried to create the same atmosphere as the churches in Europe. The faux mural on the wall and the ceiling is not as advanced as in ones in Europe; however, they tried to utilize what they had. Even the teaches from the books were decorated with the illustrations, but I did not find any gold leaves imprints. It is nice to experience the history from this church.

For the longest time, I didn’t even know that there is a science museum in the Balboa Park or that there’s an IMAX theater there. I thought Balboa Park just has gardens and art museums. Recently, I found about the science museum and I was quite happy to see it. They currently have an Einstein display that is quite interesting. I recommend anyone who likes science to visit this place.

By the name, people probably think this is just an Asian art museum, but it’s more than that. Of course they have some traditional Asian art, but they also have some contemporary art. The most amazing thing is that the contemporary art are from artists who take traditional objects and present them in ways that make the art contemporary. For example, right now they have on display wood, paper, and bamboo, all traditional objects, but the artist display it in such a way that it's contemporary art. Worth a visit.

This is San Diego oldest and largest art museum. In addition to traditional art pieces you may find in an art museum (European and American art), they invite a lot of contemporary artist to come and display their art. These artists would use the existing walls and windows to install their art! Recently they have an exhibit from Maxfield Parrish which is quite nice. I definitely recommend going there to see that exhibit.

Sea World is one of the tourist attraction in the San Diego. I recommend to go there earlier in the morning so you can finish seeing all the places in one day. Food prices in the park are slightly higher, so bring your own food and water. I especially like the enormous bird cage where people can walk through. Inside doesn’t smell and yet some of the birds are ones I have never seen.

The Angels is famous in recent years because of the rally monkeys. When the team falls behind and it gets to be late in the game, the rally monkey comes in to rally up support for the Angels an the Angels usually can make a comeback against the opposing team to win the game. They show the video of a monkey dancing on the jumbotron. Also, when the Angels hit a home run, they have fireworks. I like the atmosphere in the park too as it is very laid back. I recommend any Angels supporters to go watch the Angels.
