San Diego, baby! Sagada, baby! Columb... erm... (Part 2 of 2)


Shortly after the Sagada trip, the company sent me to the US for slightly over a week. It was a quick trip, but it felt longer. It consisted mainly of me

a) freezing over, and
b) watching people navigate using GPS systems that never shut up

Those blasted UPS systems are amazing. They command you, demand things from you, basically tell you you’re an idiot when you don’t follow it’s directions, and sometimes even when you do. “Turn left in three meters,” it would say. And there’s a wall to your left in three meters, so you opt to, well, not go left. “Recalculating,” it would say, with some scorn. The device continues to say that for the next five minutes, before it tells you to turn left off of a bridge and onto nothing.

If you’re built to withstand the GPS onslaught, you’d find that San Diego is a really nice place. Offices next to beaches, quick access to everything, wide roads, great restaurants, and lots of places to go see. Columbus was…

Oh, look, gotta go. But pictures ahead.
