I arrived at Changi Airport with my family and we had lunch and took some pictures.

By 1440, my flight flight to taipei took off on CL662. Although I din really know anyone there cos my frens already took the first flight on sunday, I was able to make some new frens including Mabel, Qingling and Judith.

The flight to taipei was pretty good cos firstly I had a window seat and secondly the lady that sat beside me was Taiwanese and we talked a great deal about the cultural differences btw Taiwan and Singapore. I found out that Taiwan's economy emphasized a lot on the IT and Engineering sector and our salaries are approximately 2k thereabout as well. Out of her kindness, she even offered to gave me her namecard and promised to take me around Taipei if i decide to stopover when I return in October.Her name was Nancy I think.

I arrived at ChangKaiShek Airport in Taiwan and we had about 4 hrs to go before the flight to San Fran so my new-found frens and I went to chill at the starbucks cafe and got to know each other better. See those lanterns? The kids in Taiwan made them and each had their name on it.The flight to san fran was pretty terrible. I had to sit in btw 3 middle aged ppl and there was no individual tv to watch at all on the way there.I practicially stagnated for 11 hrs before heaving a sigh of relief when we arrived at SFO(san fran). Oh! The 4 of us took a picture of us eating pizzas...our very first authentic american pizzas...The subway here is even better too! With more choices of cheese and bread and even vegs like banana pepper..10USD for 2 foot long subway...wat a deal!(only btw midnite to 4am) Its 10pm at Mammoth Yellowstone rite now....will update soon. :)
