Oh, that perfect garlic french fries!
11am, I showed up at SFO airport, fresh and dandy. There was a beautiful lady at the check in counter waiting for me and showed me a perfect smile. I handed her my passport, thinking: Cathy's service is just getting better everyday. She looked at her computer, then printed out a paper, explaining that she is putting me on a flight to Japan and then to Beijing because my flight to HK is delayed...Very puzzled, I asked how I can get to HK that way...She looked at me like I couldn't understand her, speaking slowly explaining why Japan route is a great route and Cathy won't charge me anything for the change...I looked at her, wondering either I am not speaking English or she is not, apparently we are not connecting...Our back and forth finally caught attention from her manager, who took a glance at the computer screen, figured out that I am not making connecting flight to Beijing from HK, I am staying at HK for a few days, then to Beijing! 
Now I am finally back to my original HK flight and it is delayed for 3 hours...
Cathy provided a $25 food coupon for lunch. Even though I am not hungry, I figured, why not, there are plenty time to kill at the airport now...Walking into the firewood cafe, someone ordered garlic french fries, or my god, that perfect smell of the garlic french fries! Did I tell you that I would totally crave junk food like french fries, potato skins once in a while? Well, today is the day...Out of nowhere, just because someone ordered it and I caught wind of it...
And you know the result, I used the $25 food coupon to get all different kinds of french fries. Below is a picture of the garlic french fries, who is totally guilty.
An old lady sat next to me watched me swallowing all of that french fries in shock and told me "You are very sweet." in the end.
Very satisfied and happy after shoveling all down my throat, I went to the airport lounge. A big bright lounge with almost nobody there. The staff are very polite. However, I couldn't access the wifi. After a few failed tries, I determined there was problem with their access point, so I called the friendly staff to question. He insists it is my computer problem, offered to fix it. After looking at him trying 15 minutes in vain, I lost my patience, said:"Look, I work in IT, and I know it is your access point, if you can simply reboot it, everything will be just fine." The friendly staff looked at me in disbelief, apparently he thinks I know nothing about a computer...Thank god I had those french fries.
