So i’m in Singapore where American sports are seldomly shown.  Growing up I’d maybe get one NBA game a week, on saturday mornings.  Instead of Superbowl Sunday, we had superbowl monday morning.

So today i was looking at scores online and I saw the blazers were playing the suns.  I scrambled to try to find a live video feed and was lucky enough to find this site:  http://www.justin.tv/

Awesome site, live tv feed without any lag or loading trouble.  I love all these free online services today that are funded by advertising.

Turned out to be a great game.  In the middle of the third quarter the blazers were down 12 and i thought the blazers were in over their heads.  Thanks to the now common heroics of Brandon Roy (52 points!) they were able to come back and win it by 5.

I’m in the middle of a six hour layover in San Francisco’s International Airport. I’m on my way home to Singapore for winter break. I flew from Portland to San Fran at 4 pm. My flight arrived a little after six. Now I’m waiting til midnight to fly to Hong Kong and then I fly from Hong Kong to Singapore. I thought I was used to this trip but this is pretty brutal. At least I’m on Singapore Airlines. Sing Air is guaranteed to have personal tv’s and food that is a step up above United or Northwest.

When I got in to San Fran, I walked almost directly to security and to the International Terminal. Big mistake on my part. Once I got into the International Terminal there was no turning back. This branch is acceptable if you have tons of cash and maybe a 2 hour wait. Being a college student with a six hour layover isn’t exactly ideal in this location. There are about three restaurants, averaging $10 per entre. I asked how much the 12 oz bottle of water was at the deli…$3.99.

In Portland I was a responsible traveler, getting to the airport 2 hours before my International journey. That being said, I had some time to wait before boarding. PDX, being the great airport it is, had free Wifi and I was happy as a clam for my hour and a half. Not surprisingly, San Francisco Int’l has wireless internet that operates through T-Mobile and you guessed it, they charge you. I might sound like a stingy complainer, but what reasonable 21 year-old can survive in this place?

It was a really nice view coming in to land in San Fran, seeing the golden gate bridge and the whole bay. We land right by the water and I was feeling very content. Now I can’t wait to get the hell out of here. I feel like Tom Hanks from The Terminal.

19 more hours of flying and probably 24 hours til I land in the wonderful island of Singapore. Tiger one, uncle.

PS both Hong Kong and Singapore had free Wi Fi. boo san fran
