Sun Diego

"Half the fun is getting there!" is a slogan on some of the shuttle busses bringing people to and fro hotels and the conference centre here In San Diego. The company call's it self "Sun Diego" and they are not lying, the weather is absolute beautiful here in southern California. Clear blue sky, no humidity and bearable temperatures, like the best of the European summer.

First impressions of the US; well, people in general are really friendly and open, at least those who works in bars and restaurants, the portions are big and so are many of the people, you have to have a coffee in your hand all the time or some snacks and, most of all, the car is king.

Everything here is sat up for the car, and if you don't have one it is hard to get from a to b.
At pedestrian crosses you have to wait for a long time before the signal that you can cross lights up, and when it does you have about 16 or less seconds to cross, before the big engines ignites again and they race of. Older people or disabled hasn't got a chance.

There is some busses and a tram -here called a trolley- but to commute relying on those, will cost you a lot of time. Our hotel is a bit out of town by one of the freeways that connects the different parts of the city, so basically what you have got, is some town centres spread around on a big space, and then what we in Europa would call a Motorway or carry-way is the ore connecting them.
