First time for first timer

This is a late entry actually.

I was in US end of January. Have a business meeting there with a manufacturer of our equipment.

It was actually the first time ever I did gone anywhere outside Malaysia. I had no idea of what to write at the moment since I just got back to the office after been almost 3 weeks away.

How do I feel? Well, I’m excited. But never realize that when they say its cold, they really meant it. The moments I step out of the plane when arriving in LA, a sudden breeze of cold wind slap my cheek. First few minutes it was pleasing, but then when you could not feel anything on your thumb and shakes like a potsmoker, you’ll know that is really cold.

Its really a tiresome journey, sitting in a plane for more than 10 hours, watching movies and eat all you can. You sleep, woke up and sleep again and then woke up again but still not there yet.

Arrived in Houston at 5am, check in time was at 12pm. Cold, tired, sleepy and I haven’t taken any bath for the past 24hours nor do I shit any. Being a typical Malaysian, it is custom to have water tap next to the toilet bowl. But since everything is done the opposite way there, you could just imagine what effort it takes just to do the john. Unfortunately the hotel does not serve any breakfast unlike any other hotel we used to stay at. Lucky there was a grocery shop just few minutes walk from the hotel and a nice hot cup of coffee and a cookie is refreshing enough.

Skin feels really dry despite the cold condition, makes it really itchy. Just can’t stand it….

A nice experience to be there, even only for a while.
