One thing America has that Singapore doesn’t is its stunning national parks. FUSIA's J-1 exchange intern Timothy and his friends took advantage of this and traveled all the way to San Francisco, followed by a four-hour drive to Yosemite National Park. The towering sequoia trees were truly magnificent, and the stargazing that night was an unforgettable experience—something that could never be witnessed in a city with light pollution. The next day, they embarked on a long hike to the nearest waterfall, where they thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of nature.
