San.Fran #1

touchdown in SFO!


beaming me..arrived at 11pm, "nice weather!"


rather empty pickup area..wer to take cab!!!???


milpitas sq beside the hotel..lots of chinese food and swarmed with hongkies...


Dinner 4 sat nite...Katsu udon USD10..soup is so so, chicken meat smells of dirty USA..yuks..

wats nice:
- weather is cool! finally my boots can make an appearance hahahahah


- the heater, neat for drying clothes super fast


- the bed, cosy and big



wats not:
-SQ cockup on their plane! supposedly to take off at 5pm, got delayed till 9pm. they made us wait for 2hrs to fix some lighting problem and 5mins later after they made the last announcement that it still haven't resolve the issue, they said that the plane is ready for boarding, but by that time half the ppl were gone from the waiting area. Have to spend time paging for those wandering ppl to go back, wait again.

When finally everyone is onboard, ready for take off, there's burning smell coming from the aircon the moment it started and it was quickly switched off. Then the pilot says the plane got some hydraulic issues, made us wait in the freaking plane without aircon for half hour and finally told us the plane have to get back to the bridge and all have to get off and change plane! So fun man. I suppose we are lucky the prob din happen in mid air. :-S

-Stupid US custom clearance is bloody slooooowwwww...becos of the officer for my line is taking his time to do his job. I think his target quota is to clear as little passport as possible...he looks seriously bewildered when more ppl are added to his line by some other officer managing the q. i'm tempted to get his sneaky face on cam but scared they will list me as a potential terrorist for taking pics of their airport (there's a two way mirror opp wer i'm queuing, i think they are peeping at ppl, terrified of terrorists...). (took 45mins to clear queue of 5, u guessed it..i'm the last)

-USD110 cab fare from SFO to Milpitas (krz country, no wonder ppl wana bomb us)
I hope my boss will not start haemorraging kekeke...
