~ Going East for the Second Time ~
I knew it, what did I tell you, taking flights to the East Coast is a pain in the @$$, especially the flights that take off at night! For some reasons, there are no direct flights going between the East and the West. This is perhaps for the benefits of those traveling to the central states. Our flight took off from San Francisco Airport at mid-night, then we had to transfer at St. Louis, MI. By the time we got to New Jersey Newark Airport, it was already 11am Easterntime! Without much sleep, we collasped in the hotellobby for a few hours before
· Here's the new BART station of San Bruno
· After all these years, the BART system has finally extented to the airport!
· The airport station
· The airport's driver-less shuttle
we could go anywhere! Why the hotel lobby, you might ask. That's because the hotel won't let people going into the room before all rooms were cleaned! (What a rule that was...)

~ First Day - Night Tour ~

We joined a short tour that very first night we arrived. The tour guild was a Cantonese speaking dude who sucks at English and Manderine. What noise to my ears... Anyway, from the Hilton Hotel at New Jersey, the tour bus took us acorss the Hudson River through the Holland Tunnel. The Holland Tunnel' air circulation system was designed by Mr. Holland way back in the 1920's. The system, even in modern standard, was a very successful one. After a quick dinner in China Town, we went to a few attractions of the city...
· An old church next to the Rockefeller Center, these random old churches are everywhere in the middle of East Coast cities.
· The landmark introducing the Rockefeller Center
· The GE building, one of the buildings of the Rockefeller Center
· The Airospace exhibition at the Center
· The certral plaza of the Center, where the ice skating ground is in the winter
· All these American flags here were originally flags of the countries that have business connection with the Rockefeller family. But because this year is the 100th anniversiry of the airospace history, all flags were changed to US flags.
