So today we left Las Vegas and headed to Los Angeles. Some of the people were still tired from the show of the previous night. That caused an overwhelming silence in the first half of the bus ride. But after a quick stop and the start of a movie, most of the tired faces brightened up.

And when we finally arrived in front of Universal Studios, everyone was totally awake and ready to go. The weather in California welcomed all of us with comfortable 80 Degree Fahrenheit, instead of the previous 110 Degree in Las Vegas which tried to burn people alive.
                           
The whole group visited a haunted house after a quick picture stop at the universal globe. Some of the brave visitors are still shaking, some were even forced to the ground by zombies and psychopaths which popped out of the walls. After that the group split up to explore the park for their own interests and needs. Most wanted were the Transformers 3D Ride, The Studio Tour in which you saw a lot of old and new movie sets, The Mummy Ride and The Jurassic Park Ride. But caused by long waiting lines, almost everybody could make just about 4 rides, except for Matthew from New Zealand and his group.

Matthew turned 18 this day (congrats again) and got a special birthday sticker that granted him and his friends premium access to all rides. 

When everybody was done, the whole group walked to the Hard Rock Cafe, located a little outside the park, and enjoyed dinner. Matthew experienced his own Hard Rock Happy Birthday Song plus a cup of Ice Cream. And on the way back to the hotel, he heard the same song in over ten different languages. At around 9:30 the group arrived at the hotel (finally free wifi everywhere), but was still not tired enough and most of the students went to the pool. Around 11, everybody finally fell physically dead into their bed.
