3:09:11 AM (Bangkok Time)

Well, flying into L.A. Just around 1o AM local time, I could see the San Francisco bay bridge through the morning fog below us. It was quite the site and quite the feeling to be back in North America again. This feeling was soon over as we were shunted into long maze like lines; first to clear US customs, then the US agriculture service. I have nothing good to say about that aside from the people were nice. I told them I had a 12:15 connection, but they still insisted instead of going through every last inch, every last corner of my luggage. They even spent some time searching through my laptop looking for possible child pornography. I guess I just look like a drug dealing pedophile or something like that. Anyhows, long story short, I ended up missing my connection; which completely sucks because it changes all the plans now. I’m on a flight to Montreal now, unfortunately they booked me on a connection an hour before we get there. Ah well, I have high hopes that my bags are on the same plane as me. I’m quite fortunate to be on the flight that I am on. They rebooked me knowing that this flight was already overbooked, luckily at the last minute, someone didn’t show up and I ended up getting on. Thailand seems so far behind now. Its amazing that in this short period of time alone, I’ve seen Bangkok, visited Tokyo for the first time, eaten a McDonalds Teriyaki burger, seen the largest Zen garden I’ve ever seen, arrived to the most world renowned state, California, and am now heading for Montreal, the place I’ve been to on class trips as the farthest we’ve ever gotten before at that time. I hope to arrive to Halifax sometime shortly after when I had meant to originally. When I get to Montreal, I’ve got to find my bag, check it in, go through Canada Customs, and rebook my connection to Halifax. I can only hope that it won’t be too long of a stopover. If It is for any length of time, I can maybe sneak my first Tim Hortons Double Double. If not, otherwise, we’ll wait till I’m back home again with my mom and sisters. It will be all good. I’m also lucky that this plane has A/C power outlets, a first from my experience. I can’t complain.

Well, as it turns out, my connection to Halifax isn’t until 8AM tomorrow morning, so now I just get to chill here in Quebec for a while. I suppose I could could go out on the town, but I’m so tired I guess I’ll just stay here and do some stuff online.
