Coast to Coast

Going on vacation soon? To which coast should you go to? The West or the East? It can be a hard decision. Both coasts have beaches that are so beautiful when the sun shines on them. Disney parks are also on both sides; you have Disney World in Orlando, Florida and DisneyLand in Anaheim, California. The two have huge roller coasters, gushing water rides, and Disney characters walking around spreading smiles. Both coasts are home to big cities, the Big Apple, New York, and La La Land, Hollywood where there are many famous celebrities, singers, and actors. In New York you have Broadway, where people sing and dance their way through life. In Hollywood, you have the Walk Of Fame. These two coasts are home to fame and fortune. But each side has their own features that set them apart.

The West Coast consists of California, Oregon, and Washington. In these states, the weather is very predictable. It’s either a sunny, eighty degrees, with a light breeze kind of day or a cloudy, glum day. Usually, it’s the first scenario. A lot of times when you think West Coast, you don’t think work because it’s so laid back there, but the people there actually do. People on the west are more into the computer business. Although they have big computer companies here, they aren’t up all night working away like people on Wall Street.The people behind the computers are very laid back. You have people lounging by pools and drinking iced teas, and they are always there to help because they aren’t really busy needing to get from place to place in the next three minutes. When something needs to be done, yes, they’ll do it, but they don’t get worked up over it. “Three Little Birds ” by Bob Marley is a song that perfectly sums up the West Coast. In the west the sun sets over the water. If you are running a fancy dinner restaurant, the west is a great place. It has the perfect setting.

The East Coast consists of all the states from Florida to Maine. Here, the weather is so unpredictable. You never know what the day will bring. It could be blue skies one day and snowing the next! If you like change, you'd like to vacation here. The kind of work in the east is a lot like the weather. Alway busy brewing up something. The center of work is in Wall Street, New York. It’s all work, work, work here. Wall Street’s nickname is “the street that never sleeps” because they are always working. Always! The people in the east are very worked up. Sometimes you’ll see your parents running out the door with their hair half done and their outfits lopsided. They always have to get from place to place in a short amount of time. Being that they get so caught up in their own lives, they never help anyone but themselves, Which is rude with a capital “R” (not all people are like this, mostly just New Yorkers). In the east the sun sets over the land. Running a fancy dinner restaurant here, isn’t the greatest idea. You would be taking the risk of having unpleasant land beyond your restaurant.

It’s very important you know about your coasts. If you don’t, you could be making a mistake. Not knowing if your vacation spot is up all night or not or what the people are like could be a problem for you. Although the two sides of the U.S.A differ from each other, they both are beautiful places to vacation.

P.S Being that I have lived on both coasts, I may have put some of my input on some topics.
