Dear Journal,
I am on a boat with a lot of other Chinese people seeking for gold. I was poor and hungry in China. So coming to California is going to be a very special opportunity. We have heard that California was like paradise. We are all very excited and anxious. The boat ride had been a very difficult journey. People say that we would get the finest things when we get there. I can see land and in a few minutes, we will be in San Francisco.
We have finally arrived to San Francisco. We are greeted with some friendly people. We are also treated like guests. Some people brought us to the mountains to start digging for gold. Right now, I am digging for gold. I have found a couple pieces of gold.
