Breaking (not bad, but) the stereotype: California you may not have seen so far
With today’s exposure to American culture and the fact that certain images coming from the States are almost universally recognized, travelling to the US for most of us is a journey to the already known. However, there is much more to it than meets the eye.
Besides showing you what happens when you actually walk the Golden Gate Bridge or visit the Alcatraz prison, this talk will take you to the parts of California you probably are not familiar with. From Muir Woods to Mount Lassen comes the story about the (un)expected.
