I have started writing this blog 3 days ago, and then forgot about till now… looked at it again, and realised that it would be too long and too boring.. so I deleted the three paragraphs about Calgary, the only part that I’ve managed to write about, and re-wrote it again. Anyways..

Unless you’ve never read a Fetal Diary entry before, you should know that I went to the USA for the first time EVER for the summer vacations. Stopped over in Calgary for 2 days, before I left, and stayed there for another two once I got back.

Calgary:
Saw two friends that I haven’t seen in two years, Jose and Ashley. Really glad to see them again. Went to the first day of the Calgary Stampede. Lots of fun! Except maybe for the getting rained on horribly part. That was bad. And I didn’t get to see Keith, which was kinda sad..

Anaheim - Disneyland & LA:
AIR CANADA SUCKS. Yes, I said it. Air. Canada. Sucks. Here’s the story:
July 7th, 7 pm, we were supposed to leave Calgary for LA. Air Canada flight, blah blah blah. Anyways.. we were delayed for like half an hour cause the crew was late. Then we were put in the plane, but were stuck there for an hour. Stuck, plus left in the heat. Like, not even kidding, HEAT. It was soooo hot in there. Cabin problems. Dunno why they let us in right away. So anyways, an hour later, the temperature goes to normal, and with most passengers very unhappy, we take off. Hour into the flight we turn around. TURN THE EFF AROUND. I’m not kidding you guys. They then say that they had to go back because of ‘cabin pressure issues’ and twenty mins later, we’re back in Calgary, approx. around 10 pm. We were then informed that we’d have a flight tomorrow at 9 am, and we’ll be at the hotel near the airport for free etc. So next day, we get to the airport again, and find out that the flight was delayed again. AGAIN. No lying. Delayed for another hour. I started to wonder if I’ll ever even set foot on LA.

Oh, and did I mention I lost my wallet (which had $100USD + health card + bank card + pics and some priceless pack rat possesions like cinema tickets).. Yeah I hated life that day. Really did.

Anyways, yeah, we did get there, eventually… And now, I hate Air Canada. I’m sorry, but I do. But anyways, lots of fun at Disneyland. LA was great for shopping. Got new shoes. LACOSTE SNEAKERS. And I got it at a good price. And other stuff. I love it. Little Tokyo @ Downtown LA = good food, I have to say. Except LA’s too smoggy. For the first time in my 16 and half years of life, I actually got actual pimples. That bad. I do not like that. Universal Studios was cool though. Okay, I’m biased. I love the movie Tokyo Drift (Fast and Furious) and seeing it there was over the top exciting for me..

Seaworld:
Absolutely cool sea animals. I love the dolphins. Got some photos. Not great, but still. Haha. Loved em.

San Francisco + Daly City:
Stayed near the Bay. I loveeeeeee San Francisco. Like whoa! I love the food, I love the smell of the air - sooo fresh, I love the area, the shopping. I fell in love with the place. I’m not even a big fan of seafood. Then you get to San Fran and then suddenly, I can’t stop eating seafood. I love the Golden Gate Bridge, I love Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, the cable cars. I really love it. Okay, I sound very hippie-ish. But it’s true, I love the place now. Someday, I will go back there, ahaha, just to have some clam chowder again. Oh, and I LOVEEEE the smell of the sourdough bread at that uber huge bakery. Yeah.
Met family at Daly City. Met one of my little second cousins. OMG, so angelic. So cute! So nice! Haha. But yeah, there wasn’t a lot of them there then. Busy busy people. Oh well. My uncle, who was there though, is apparently part of the US navy. Missile analyst. BEYOND COOL. Haha.
Tried McD’s just for the hell of it. Tasted the same (duh) and I was happy to know that some items in their food is considered cancerous in California. Yeap, I read a sign somewhere in the place. How pleasant.

Oh yeah, dad got me a new cam while in San Fran. Sony Alpha 200. Two zoom lenses included in kit + he got me a wide angle and macro. I love daddy. Still tryna figure it out though. Cause I’m more used to using the Canon Rebels which dad tried to get for me but the store guy was pushy about the Sony Alpha. Oh well.

Anyways, I’ll keep it short. Final thoughts though, California isn’t bad. I love San Fran, I wish I met more family, I want more clam chowder, I wanna go shopping, I wish I didn’t lose my wallet, and I don’t like Air Canada anymore.

Okay pc’n!
Kristine aka Fetus.

    Kristine: I wonder if it’s not seafood you dislike but seafood that’s not fresh since you do eat it in SF? When seafood isn’t fresh it tends to smell bad and taste bad. For example, really fresh squid is nearly transparent not a milky white. How can frozen fish that comes in plastic bags taste good anyway?

    (I’m not a big fan of seafood either btw lol)

    “we were delayed for like half an hour cause the crew was late.” < —hahaha, this is unbelievable and I’d give them a bad rating for this too.

    hey Fetus! nice to know your vacation was allright (with a bit of bumps on the road, but what trip isn’t?)

    The flights I took with air canada were allright, but that was back in 2006. Now I’m starting to see why canadians hate this company so much :D

    I hope the trip helped you clear your mind a bit from the small-minded “Fort McCrack” :D

    ahhh dolphins~~ they are so beautiful

    it’s funny you mentioned McD’s.
    i try McD’s when i go to a different country too just to see if it tastes any different in that country (well, i do this only when i can afford the time cuz i would love to explore the local areas and not stick with what i am familiar with)
