Beginning in a new land

I am in the US, one of the most developed countries on this planet.

Landing at morning at LAX airport, I finished my routine immigration and customs and was happy to pay a donation of Rs.100 to the lady outside the gate fund raising for helping the children in the developing world.

I tested the BIG-MAC index waiting at the departure gates to take the flight to SFO. It cost me $6 to have a full stomach BIG-MAC. My flight to SFO was at evening and I checked into my hotel late night. The weather was good, and there was a slight shower that night.
No hassles, comfortable travel and great stay to start with, I think.
