UA888 ,UA223 and UA5478

date:2014-10-26
      After a long waiting ,it is time to get to the fight UA888. The UA888 is boeing 747,which has  the most capacity of 300-500 before A380 is delivered.When I go into the carbin, I am  struck dumn by the huge space:The space is divided into three columns--the left and right columns have 3 seats and the center 4 seats;there are about 40 line from head to rear;looking from window ,a pair of 50-length wings extends with a inclination to the body at a angle of 45 . when it was first delivered,some people doubt if it can take off.Anyway  the success of it have scattered the rumor. When we are seated, the attandant begin to inroduce the safety rules and the voyage information: the flight is to SFO and distance is about  9600km ,and it will take us 10 hours, which is so long and boring .In order for us to kill time , film and TV drama is to be shown on a big screen in the center ,right above our heads,and In the morning ,a free meal will be taken to our seats by the attendants .It looks like a happy time.  
         At the begining,everything was endurable.But  when I wake up  after an uncomfortalbe sleep, it had just been three hours.Dull and tedious ,I had to read book.At this time ,I began the understand what is the meaning of Relativity Theory: The length of time is measured by the one's feeling.When one feel relaxed,time is easy  to go ,but when one feel tired and uncomfortable ,time is being extended. The later agree with my condition in the flght.
         Finally ,after another sleep , we arrived at SFO airport ,before I got the laggage ,I had to go through  custom entry check,which was not so terrible as I imagined(before that ,I was told that the procedure is strict ,so I prepared a lot answers which was probably asked ).The officer ask me what I come to USA for,and after I gave the reson ,he just check my ds-2019 and then let me pass.Now I am in USA, it looks not so unbelieveable,and I found I was still  myself. All the efforts that I have spend for about half year come to its results.When I raised my head to look outside,It seemed there is no difference with that in Beijing:a little freeze blowed through the mountain near the airport. The words inscribed on the mountain shows " Saint Fransisco ...",which indicates that is in USA.Compared to Beijing ,SFO has less fog and haze(I will be informed that any other place in USA has the same rule ,especially in Laramie).
       On the road to recheck  in my baggage, a  midde-age Asian-looking man saluted me ,and then he change his face and said  ,"Welcome to  USA ",which scared me a little.But I knew he just want to make a joke with me ,because maybe he thaught we were so nervous when we were facing custom entry officers,just like a examination ,or maybe he is ABC and like to talk Chinese but can't say Chinese . Anyway ,I have no time to think about it ,and had to rush to the next boarding gate to get the transfer flght to Denver.When I got to the gate ,I was told  by a Chinese that the UA223 flght to Denver is delayed. When he knew I am a Chinese too,the man began to talk to me in Chinese .From his words, I knew that he a teacher in Ohio University,and often commuted  between China and USA ,and he said he was also a student when he first came to USA, now he got the  green card and stayed in USA. It is said that many Chinese student study in USA  and then stayed here to pursue his American Dream.Maybe someday I could be one of them .I am not sure what is the  ture aim of my pursuit of study in USA :finish study and then go back to China or stay here and be a  American. When we talked freely ,time seems go through quickly,and the delayed flght  arrived finally.The airplane of UA223 is smaller then that of  UA888.After boarding ,I felt tired and quickly fell to sleep.Two hours later , I got to Denver airport in time , but had to waited for 3 hours to got to the final flight to Laramie. In the departure hall,I made a QQ call to a  high school classmate ,who got to USA last year and work in Facebook.According to his words, he is determied to get his green card in 5 years , which gave him a big pressure and also a motive. He  welcame me to USA and told me he would met with me when he had holiday. Not seeing him for 15 years, I don't know how much changes  happen to him. Does he get fat,or thin .? what about his daught and wife ?All the answer have to be got on that moment when I saw him.
   Fortunately I got the flght in time . The airplane is smaller than other two: It just can contain 25 people and had just one attandant.Without ant exception, I got Laramie in 9 PM . At the gate Mr Wang had waited for me for 15 minutes. On the car ,he told me that if had come two day earlier, he could not drive me in his car because he just pick up his car yesterday after purchasing  online several days ago.
   Laramie -- the destiny of my journey . I will spend the next two years.What would happen ,I don't know --but I'm a bit looking forward to it!!!!
