Mad Cow Hollow

Friday night in Cow Hollow lapping up the scene @ Betelnut (Asian fusion - I'll be completely fused shut within a few days). Had to wait over an hour at the bar with a bunch of college girls and fratboys, but it was certainly worth it.

ICEM 2008

Conference kicks off. Melbourne is well represented. Trade display has a Taser stand - didn't realise that this was a piece of medical equipment. Would be useful for controlling any angry surgical registrars (or medical administrators). Conference coffee has a tendency to always be bad, but this...

"If You're Going To San Francisco..."

Interminable wait at Immigration before being fingerprinted like a common criminal - why didn't they read me my rights or offer me an attorney. Thankfully Mario Hernandez skipped the cavity search and waved me through with a cheery "welcome to the USA, have a nice day!" Hard to take him...

"The Crown Jewel"

Welcome reception at City Hall. Apparently there are no pigeons to poo on the city's "Crown Jewel" as they installed a hawk to scare them off. Sycamore trees out the front are trimmed and ready to burst forth in the coming weeks. More homeland security - metal detectors, guys in uniforms...

Back in SF

Back in San Francisco I woke up very early on Friday. I, because I wanted a cheaper flight, had booked the plane to San Francisco a mere day and a half after I arrived in New York, so I had to get round everything before I left. The Hostel I was in was in the Upper West Side of New York,...

Hello, San Francisco!

We left Auckland yesterday (30th) @ 7:40 pm. Arrived in San Francisco today (30th) @ 12 noon, which makes us technically 1 day younger. Haha! After going through the customs clearance (customs officer was a stern-looking Filipino man), we were really surprised – confused even that the big...

An the admin continues

I am so tired. The supermarket had nothing I recognised. I was completely at the mercy of Americans. Take washing powder for instance. They don't have it. They have a funny washing liquid, and each liquid is for a different thing. You'd think they'd put on the label what each was for but...

Are you going to .....

July 20 We all got up for the 9.30am bus to the Bart station (train/tube thing that goes into San Francisco). We walked a few blocks, down what looked like quite a dodgy part of town. Tried to look round the shops a bit, but they were all so big and we had so much to fit in during the day that...
