Inject Some Diversity to Your Summer Travel
I’d like to make a suggestion for a summer vacation travel destination where you can find a great deal of variety in the type of local attractions offered. Everybody has different goals for their summer travel. Some of us want to visit Disneyland and some just want to relax on the beach. Others love to see historical sites and still others love to play golf.
One of the first places one thinks of in terms of Southern California vacation destinations is the Resort devoted to Disneyland, California Adventure and Downtown Disney, where you will find some of the most interesting Orange County restaurants.
Anyone who has not visited Anaheim in awhile will be surprised at its evolution over time. California Adventure exhibits the diversity of California culture, from citrus orchards to downtown Los Angeles to the northern California Wine Country. If you do any people watching, you will notice a very international mix of visitors at the Resort. It is a great place for people watching—a veritable cultural melting pot.
There are not a lot of other places in the world where you’ll find such a complex melting pot of nationalities as in Southern California. Although there are often visitors from Europe, Africa and Asia, the countries along the Pacific Ocean are particlularly well represented.
You’ll find quite a number of ethnic communities scattered throughout Southern California, and worth a visit in your summer travel activities. These include Chinatown, Little Tokyo and Koreatown in Los Angeles County. Some of the best-known ethnic communities in Orange County include the Vietnamese community in Little Saigon, and the Hispanic community around Fourth Street in Santa Ana.
