Innumerabilis

Had an outing today with Pernette, Elodie, Wan Kay, April and her little brother Jonathan. At first we wanted to go to Sentosa, but it kept raining (and rather heavily too!) so we switched venue to Settler’s at Clark Quay.

Some last pictures of taipei (the airport, since I didn’t venture out of it!).

Xu Shen and Jiawei.

Kenny, Danny and me.

海鲜拉面 in the airport. The good thing is they accept both USD and NT, since I didn’t have any NT with me. The bad thing is it costs 7 USD when the equivalent in NT would be about 6 USD. I think it is still expensive either way.

Their nappy changing room has a Hello Kitty theme!

That’s it, wat2008 is concluded. It has been a wonderful journey, and I have no regrets going for it.

The wee hours of today was spent searching for a motel. We thought that nearer to the airport, there should be plenty of motels with space, but alas, that is not so. So I reiterate: if you are going to San Francisco during the summer holidays, book early. In the end, we found a place that had only one room left, only took cash, with rooms that weren’t exactly big, and was rather expensive. Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers.

Just before leaving the motel. One of our last photos of the US together.

The beach at Marina Drive. Unfortunately, it is too windy and cold to take a dip in the ocean. The famous Golden Gate Bridge is behind us, shrouded in the San Francisco fog.

Another view of the beach/park.

At the San Francisco Airport, after we’d returned our rental car.

San Francisco Airport, where we boarded the flight. I’m returning to Singapore via Taipei, while Danny, Kenny, Jiawei and Xu Shen are staying in Taipei for a few days.
