Trip begins in Fremont?

I consider my adventures starting when amazon messed up my order of the mini-laptop I got for my trip, and it was scheduled to arrive after my departure. After getting $100 from amazon as compensation, I persuaded (she offered) the lovely Pamela to drive me to lovely Fremont (only one of those is really lovely, and I still owe her ice cream), and was lectured by a lady on BART about the horrible nature of flip-flops and how they ruined her life. I named the netbook (mini-laptop, in case you're not down with the lingo - I wasn't) Herbert and marveled at it for a while. The rest of the evening rocked but is not really a part of my adventure. Let's skip to the part where Priya swears me I'll update this blog and says "I'd better not log on and find only one post about a crazy lady and flip-flops!" And so this is a promise I'll do my best, to Priya and all of you awesome people reading this and being excited for me, to update the blog with visual evidence and details of my advenures abroad.



For now, I have to finish packing my room into my closet, check what exactly I tossed into my backpack, and get some sleep. I have a long journey to embark on tomorrow. Till next time...
