Hi USA !!
>> Thursday, September 22, 2005
After a hard effort I could reach San Francisco today.
It was not difficult for me to get US visa. But poor Sanka was once rejected, but now he was given visa. But its too late now.
I had to first go to Narita, Japan. After a 9 hour journey with Sri Lankan airlines, I reached Narita around 11.00 a.m. local time (GMT + 9). It was a huge airport. We were moved on to a separate terminal for the next flight, via limousine (a shuttle).
The next was at 1610. I hang around a bit in "Japan" airport. They have a nice way to connect to internet via wireless network. When you logon on to wireless network, you can pay 500 yen and they will give a key for you to access internet for 24 hours. Pretty good, isn't it ?
This is what flew me over Pacific Ocean
Narita Airport, Gate 31
I flew with United Airlines to San Francisco. Well, I'm not satisfied with the quality of service of United Airlines. Will add a blog on that later.
Sir (Dr. Sanjiva) was really kind enough to come all the way from Cupertino to pick me up from the airport. We drove at an average speed of 100-120 km/h through the 6 lane highways to the Silicon Valey.
We reached to Cupertino Inn, the hotel, after sometime. If you wanna see where I am now, just go here. I'm in the odd looking, sort of triangular shaped building.
