took off on 23 Nov in fear and trembling. heave's known what could happen in the air towards america. Thank Lord the plane arrived safely in SF after 13 hrs. I wasted the next 10 hrs at the SF airport. Really regret that I didnt go to the downtown. It was pretty hot in SF that day. Even warmer than AKL. nothing unexpected occured when passing the immigration stand. Actually it was a chinese -speaking officier served me. he seemed being surprised when heard that i chose to do my phd in nz rather than us.

sth enlightening at the SF airport is the expo of creative items along the path towards terminals. no wonder CF contributes a big portion of gpa every year. the items demonstrated at the expo are things that may influence the daily life of everyone like u and me.
