Whole family left home at 3am in the morning on 3 December for our 6am flight to Tokyo as transit and then final destination San Francisco.
Had breakfast in the airport from the bread we bought yesterday. OMG! The airport is so quiet.
After 8 hours, we arrived at Tokyo Airport, wah... got to know my results through an sms from Zhenhui... =) Thanks for helping me check my results! =) Got a great surprise.. HD for Distribution Channels... My 1st HD...
We walked around Narita for an hour.... Akibahara... their duty free shop with all the bulky wrapping mochi.. lol... In Japan, eat with your eyes, not with your mouth. =)
Had a bowl of ramen and gyoza. Ramen was good... their soup base is better than those in Singapore.
We then departed Narita Airport for San Francisco... Oh no... the air flight was quite bad... the A330 we took was shaking violently for about 2 hours midway at Pacific Ocean.. We didnt know if we could make it to San Francisco alive.. LOL... There was thunderstorm and our airplane was flying thru the storm... in the middle of the ocean...
We finally arrived at San Francisco Airport.. Guess what, its only 10am at San Francisco, 3 December.. only 4 hours have passed after 18 hours of flight. =) Cos California State is 16 hours behind Singapore. 20 hours have passed but when you reach there, only 4 hours passed... So we actually went back to the past.. lol...
The first thing, of course, is to check in to our hotel... as we have a family of 5, we have to have 2 rooms daily.... and guess what, the double bed is meant for 1 person to sleep.. how cool rite? Anyway, throughout the trip, we had a double bed every night, except for my parents, who are sharing the bed... LOL..
Visited City Hall at San Francisco Downtown Core.... den we headed for their shopping streets.... took a cable car... I mean this cable car is darn famous rite? Europeans specially went San Francisco just to try this cable car! LOL...
Its US$5 a trip, irregardless where u alight. We arrived at the final stop at Fisherman's Wharf... Had a stroll around... we are coming here again tml.. haha.. today free n easy... tml guided tour...
Took a tram back... the long long one is their tram... a local means of transport... its cheaper.. i think its US$3 for a 2 hour unlimited hop-on pass...
Shopped around San Francisco... and then we had dinner.. its kinda expensive... we tot... US$13... for a western meal... but we end up realising 2 person can share a set... it comes with one bowl of salad... and one full plate of meat...
