TRANSCRIPT
After taking 15 hours flight came to Seattle airport, because me and my mom are holding different passport. I am holding a U.S. citizen passport, and my mom is holding an international passport, so we did our immigration checkpoint in separate area, separate lane. I did pretty fast then my mom, so I waited for almost an hour for my mom to pick up our luggage.
During the hour when I was waiting my mom, I feel so panic because the inspector just asked me like two to three questions, pretty fast, get done. I don’t know what was going on, I was so panic. This is my first time, all the way here, taking 15 hours to the place that I didn't familiar with. One customer service assistant asked me, am I okay, do I need some help, that moment I feel like I am cared from someone.
I came to Seattle, the date is September 12, and that time in Hong Kong is very hot, but then like when I came to Seattle, when I walked outside, outdoor, my first experience is so cold that I was just wearing like flip-flops and short.
After picking up our luggage, my host might think that we are getting hungry or something, so my host drove us to Stanford in Northgate to have our lunch. I so tired that when I am eating my Stewart, I fall asleep, that is so embarrassing. You know like first time meeting someone, so awkward.
