Day 1: Arriving to the land of San Francisco

Well with 2 hours sleep plus 18 hours of flight is really unbearable! I was extremely tired and felt like a zombie when I got off the plane. The worse thing is that when Riku and I walked through the immigrant check point, we were asked a lot of questions. Not only that, we were sent to THE ROOM, where we spoke to an officer while he was checking our data and 'examinating' us.


 Luckily I was not the problem. They only suspected Riku about his visiting to the United States, since he has gone there many times on business. It was quite a silence during the conversation, but guess what, the officer eventually got excited about bublaa.com! He also thought that it is going to be the next facebook. How proud, Riku turned his face from red to excitement when he was telling how he is going to launch the service.

We were safe after all. They couldn't charge Riku because he is really not working in the US. Well, sort of, but his company is based in Finland and he is only having meetings and organizing events in the states. But I think it might become an issue in the future concerning the visa.

We took a cab and headed to Leslie and Masa's home to Burlingame, where we live. What I saw through the window from the cab was, it looks like I'm in Malaysia, or Cancun. Couldn't really tell the big differences. But when I got the Paloma Ave, I am in love with the style of the houses! They are so cute like toy houses!

I went to bed immediately. I might have missed a day already. I met Leslie, a wonderful woman who has made dinner for us too. Riku kept on working like an robot while I slept the rest of the day away. 

I just wanna get more energy for this new start! :-D
