Visit to the Porsche Experience Center LA, a long-sought-after destination.

The day before yesterday, I arrived safely at Kansai International Airport from San Francisco. I am glad that the whole family was able to return home in good health. Still, traveling overseas with two children, ages 4 and 1, was quite hard.I mean, my second daughter, who is a free-spirited one-year-old, had a hard time (laughs).I learned that if you are going to a country with long flight times such as the U.S. or Europe with small children, it would be better to take them either when they are 0 years old, when they don't know anything yet, or when they are around 3 years old when they are somewhat older.

Well, we spent three nights in San Francisco, and then we flew to Los Angeles.The place we wanted to visit in Los Angeles was the Porsche Experience Center (PECLA).It is. The Porsche Experience Center is a center "where you can experience the Porsche brand firsthand and test and feel for yourself the power, sportiness, and safety of the car.

Porsche Experience Centers are located all over the world.6 locations: Atlanta, Los Angeles, Le Mans, Leipzig, Silverstone, ShanghaiThere is only one. Incidentally, Mr. Shimeki Shimeki, President of Porsche Japan, announced at a press conference that he would like to open this Porsche Experience Center in Japan. Please do! And on the grounds of PECLA, there is also a

8 training modules including 2 circuits, off-road course, dynamics area, start control, acceleration straight, low-friction circuit, and skid driving range; valuable racing car display (changes regularly); gourmet restaurant; 6.5 km test and development circuit

Finally, we go to the site.

From the hotel in Long Beach, LA where we were staying, PECLA is about a 20 minute drive. They have a convenient location with easy access from the airport.As you drive down the highway, you will see the PECLA course and the building with the Porsche Crest right next to it, so you can't get lost!I think. When I arrived, I saw many Porsches parked in the parking lot and a large "PORSCHE" sign at the entrance.

Oh, my God! It's huge! As I walked in through the entrance, I was pleasantly greeted by a receptionist in a Porsche polo shirt. The staff here is also very child-friendly.You guys should be able to speak English, too.He was speaking to me in English at a normal speed, so I was like...(I could barely hear it myself.)I wonder if there are many American visitors after all. Maybe it is rare for tourists to come all the way from Japan.

At the reception desk, I looked for the words "admission fee" to see how much it was, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I asked.They say it's "totally free" to tour the inside!(There is a fee for driving experience on the test course in a Porsche, etc.)Fatty! After filling in your name, email address, phone number, etc., you get a Visiter card and

I immediately looked at the exhibition space and saw something I rarely see...or rather, something that is rarely seen.A great car that I have only seen in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.The photos were all lined up in a row. I will introduce those photos one by one in a separate article.

Go to the well-stocked goods corner

After looking at the exhibited cars, we went to the goods sales corner in the back. Various Porsche goods were on sale.Many PORSCHE DISIGN goods that are not sold at Porsche dealers in JapanThere was. I felt that it was more extensive than the merchandise section of the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.

Among the many women's clothing and bags, there was one bag that really caught my eye...! It is a stylish bag made by "PORSCHE DISIGN", which can be used for going out and seems to have a lot of space inside. Basically, I amThree bags are enough: one for work, one for everyday use, and a Porsche backpack for travel.So it was rare to come across a bag that I wanted even more on top of that. I picked it up and the clerk came right over and explained it to me.(I'm not a big fan of being talked to right off the bat by the waitresses...)The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

I was surprised to see the price...it was many times higher than I expected, so I said "Just looking" or something and quickly returned it to my husband.If you like it, buy it. You can't buy it in Japan."And. What? Seriously! Really? But it's expensive..."

...or something like that for about a minute, and then my husbandI'll buy it for you."I said to the clerk, "I'll take it!" and he said, "Really!(Like I said I was just watching a minute ago.)I was surprised. Thank you, Sir!
