A letter from August 4th, 2014

Dear FutureMe, Hello. How are you? Right now I am at SFO, or San Francisco International Airport. I'm not sure where the O from SFO comes from. In SFO time, it's 11:19 AM, but in China time, it's 2:19 AM, so I am really tired. I mean, REALLY TIRED. I think I will go have a cup of Peet's coffee in a bit or so. I find it kinda interesting that China doesn't have time zones, but at least people don't have a problem with feeling jetlagged when they travel to different parts of China. I am very jetlagged. As you can probably clearly tell. Blah blah blah BLAH BLAH ehm hem --> this reflects my mental state Um, anyway. Our flight layover is approx 6 hours, which I thought was kinda long, so I wanted to take BART into the city (or at least to somewhere more interesting). BART is really expensive, though-- $15 round trip for San Bruno, the closest stop. That's kind of ridiculous. In Shanghai, taking the subway cost about 2-4 yuan per trip, I think, and $15 USD would last you a long time on the subways. Light Rail in Denver only costs about $4 round trip, I think, so $15 is seriously overpriced. Oh also our flight to San Francisco had wifi! Not free though-- you had to pay about $17 for wifi access during the whole flight. I feel like the demand for wifi access on an airplane flight is pretty elastic, though, (considering that people are already used to not having wifi on airplane flights) so I think the price is a bit high. I'd predict that it (the price of wifi access) will drop in the next few years, though then again, as the world is becoming more dependent on the internet, the demand for internet usage on planes might increase, which would lead to increased prices. Also, there's inflation to think about. Anyway that is all my brain is capable of (semi-)coherently producing. I think I will go eat lunch. Bye bye bye bye byeeeeeee.
