Things I'll remember about San Francisco:

1. Pier 39 has dang awesome mini donuts by Trish.

2. Fog Harbour Fish House, amazing crab, clam chowder. 

3. Alcatraz island tour, worth booking in advance for these tickets, got to see a whale along the way, got to see the workings of the famous prison. 

4. Handlery Union Square Hotel is flanks by the art galleries, and every day I get to see some of the really interesting pieces of Dr Seuss. 

5. Mum and dad snoring, Bryan described it like a train. 

6. Union Square and the parents pronouncing Saks as "sucks"

7. One of the best pieces of Toro I've had from Mikaku in Chinatown.

8. Starting my solo part of the US trip. Going to visit Nana, Yimin and baby Jake!! As I type, I'm waiting by myself at the gates, with sushi and unsweetened cold green tea. 

Things I'll remember about Las Vegas:
1. The business class flight to SFO
2. The first class flight to Las Vegas
3. Walking down the strip, seeing all the lights
4. Jackpot machines even in the most mundane places like airports, post offices.
5. Mum and dad fighting over shake shack for dinner or not. That dinner didn't taste as good as the second time we had it, in Santa Monica, LA.

Things I'll remember about LA:
1. Warner Brothers Studio Tour. Seeing the sets and sounds stages of Big Bang Theory and other shows, being a wall away from where The Ellen DeGeneres Show is taped.
2. Shake Shack
3. In and out burger wasn't as good.

Things I'll remember about Outer California:
1. Hearst Castle with all its antique artifacts and decoration. How Mr Hearst, being introverted, created all these rooms and rules so that people could socialise well.
2. Hailing in Yosemite, seeing El Capitan and Bridalveil fall in freezing summer weather.
3. Sitting at the end of the corridor in the lodge at Yosemite because the wifi is better here.
4. Stalking Dave on Facebook and seeing he took down our relationship status. Honestly, my heart is a little broken, I wish he could at least talk to me like a normal friend. Even if it was to ask how I was, or to just politely tell me he was taking it down. Nonetheless, I'm thinking back on the past 5 years and I'd say they were some pretty good years. Thanks for the memories.
5. Missing Ty and waiting for the morning in Singapore so that he'd be awake.
6. Knowing in this moment that my heart is still mending, but that I'll love him more and more every day, striving to love as Christ did the church, just as much and more than in my past relationships, and one day my heart will only be full, or be broken by him.
