Part II - In America hanging out with BHu, YSki, ICn

I’m not sure what the plan is today. But what did happen was I got picked up late, but it was so wonderful to see my friends at the airport. I really had missed them. It was great. I had to wait for about an hour, but still it was all good. I had time to get a drink down in the Tom Bradley terminal so I could get change to go back to Terminal 6 and make a pay phone call to my mother, who called my youngest sister, who called BH to let her know which terminal I was waiting in. I should have carried the phone number with me, but stupid me forgot about that little detail. So it was nice to have my mp3 player.

After they came, we went to lunch, which turned out to be a long time before we had left. We went to Arby’s in Irvine at the El Toro exit. They were really really hungry and I could really tell. They were about to rip off my limbs and eat it, they were that hungry. Well not really that hungry, but pretty hungry. So we settled for something in between since I wasn’t that hungry and just got off the plane. It was great, we sat there for a long long time just talking. It was great to catch up with friends. Everything seemed so big for me though. That was a weird feeling that I haven’t had. I mean I felt like I was a munchkin or something. It was a culture shock that I couldn’t get used to.

Then we went to Tapioca Express to hang out and try out my puzzles that I gave to IC. These puzzles took forever to solve. They were the easy ones too. I didn’t think that they would be that hard, but everyone solved it and each one too. I had four in total. I had a very nice drink tonight; it was one of my favorites. It was earl grey milk tea with grass jelly. It sounds gross, but absolutely heavenly. We had stayed a bit too long I think. I had told my family that I would get home around 7pm so we could have dinner together, but that didn’t happen according to plan. I didn’t get home till around 10pm. I had dinner afterwards, and then I just talked to my sister till 7am. I was exhausted at this point, but still needed to use all the time that I had in San Diego. I know that time is already counting down and running short. I went to sleep in my sister’s old room.
