Home in SFO

I finally arrived at san francisco airport.

In this 15 hrs indirect flight, i've got the luggage to be repacked while checking in (overweight 6 kgs from the total limitation 64kgs); i've got to take out my bear who's with me for 7 years and leave to my mom; i've got to sit next to a BIG american guy in the flight to HK; i've got the hand-carried bags to go thru the xray and checking point 4 times (1 at CKS, 1 at transfer gate in HK, 1 at boarding gate in HK, and 1 at US customs), and luggage check twice (1 at CKS check-in counter, and 1 at US customs); i've got to sit in middle seat at middle row on flight to US; i've got 4 questions (what's the purpose to come to US? how long will you stay? can i see your ticket to go home? do you bring any food?) at US customs and a 6-month stay visa; i've got to move total almost 80 kg luggages (including handbags) from collection band to the trolley, from trolley to the xray platform in US customs, and from xray platform back to the trolley again. Yeah... i've finally got to get in to san francisco (bay area).

Asad came to pick me up in the airport then we went for a quick lunch then straight back home. Surprisingly i got several welcome presents at home- the new stylish vase with pussy willow, a bouquet of fire & ice roses on dining table, some cool t-shirts and souvenirs he collected for me from his biz trips, and a clean house which was kind of messy for weeks before this morning. There're too many surprises i don't know if i missed any to note down here.

And here're some photos of our small apartment. It's at 2nd floor in an apartment complex in foster city. It's considered tiny comparing to those he lived before, but it's quite cozy, quiet, and full of sun light throughout the day. i love sunny house and luckily our bedroom has a big window to allow sun light to come in. The balcony is huge and maybe i will get a couple of folding chairs later then i can read books on it in sunny afternoon.
