Back in the US part 2

ok,if the one about the korean love hotel will count as part 1, this should be part 2...

今アメリカに居る。僕の木曜日の写真です:

現在我回美國去.我的星期四照片-

As I mentioned, I flew in to SFO and took the BART to Berkeley:

Maybe its just me... I've been riding a lot of sparkling clean Japanese and HK trains for the past few years,  but the inside of the BART trains are REALLY going to shit!  filthy stained carpet and seats...  are these original 1972 vintage!?  I was in shock,  i wanted to lay newspaper down on the seat before I sat down.  BART has to get its act together and start cleaning these things up. its also SUPER noisy compared to what I'm used to... what the hell!

空港からサンフランシスコの地下鉄を乗った。とても古いなりました!席は汚いになりましたよ!悪い!煩い過ぎ!

從機場到柏克萊城市我座地鐵.變成又老又臟!

My culture shock continued.  Unadon picked me up at the N. Berkeley station and we went to get some lunch.  Its my first time in Berkeley in almost 2 years...

バーケーリー大学の近いの駅から友達は車で連れて行った。長い間ここ来ません。(2年ぐらい)

差不多兩年沒來柏克萊...

OK, McDonalds is still there...  Thats Unadon trying to negotiate with the Parking SS...

I was disappointed to find out that my first meal back in the US was not going to be Taco Bell...We tried to go to the downown Berkeley Taco bell (across the street from the offices of the company before the company before Alivenotdead.com).

This Taco Bell.... where I spent many a fond afternoon (and saw a few drunken frat boys and angry customer confrontations)  was now long closed. No!!! All those memories of getting my Star Wars Special Edition Taco Bell toys...  bottomless Mt. Dew...  gone. :-P

MEL'Sダイナーで食べた:

在Diner吃午飯-

As an alternative we went to 'The Original Mel's'  nearby.and I opted for the waffles.  ;-)

Wafflesですよ。

比利時面? :-D

One thing I enjoy about being back in the US (and California specifically) is the variety of vintage cars.  these two were just a few that I managed to get on camera as we were driving around:

カリフォリニアに古車一杯がある、すごい:

因為加洲的天氣非常好,老的車很多-

  Yes,  many a Transporter!  I think I saw like 5 in one afternooon (this one is a pick-up truck variety).

I helped Unadon get her Uhaul truck and move some furniture in preparation for her new job in Sac.  And once eric was back from work,  Unadon dropped me off.

晩御飯はメクシカン料理を食べた:

我們在墨西哥飯店吃晚飯-

Still dejected from my failure to go to Taco Bell,  we settled on Chevy's instead, in the picturesque Emeryville Marina:

Ay Caramba! Muy grande!  My stomach can't handle these American sized portions!

你覺得怎麼樣?比塔珂鍾好吃嗎?

Emeryvilleです、僕の前住んでいましたところ。ブッリットです。美味しいそう?

So this is still thursday, I've still got friday and saturday to go! i'll put them up later this afternoon (probably already up by the time you guys read this!) ;-)

まだ金曜日と土曜日が有る!一寸待って!

its not the military that is getting the money, its the outsourced contractors and no bid - zero oversight contracts that are wasting money faster than they can burn it... but i did a bit of wikipedia research. apparently the major problem with BART is that they opted for non-standard rail sizes when they built it. meaning all the train cars and track repair equipment cost significantly more than a standard rail gauge would. a bad decision in the 1960s is haunting them for decades to come.

i rode it again yesterday to the coliseum and i must have been luckier than thursday, cause the car i was in was a newer one w/ fewer stains. but compared to asia, its still ratty and old.
