Los Angeles

... Even though there were a long hours of the flight, the artist didn't feel it. She had two seats in use and got some sleep.The service in the plane was quite good for a new airline company, the only thing was they didn't serve more than 3 small cups of any wine, and didn't sell alcohol at all, what was kind of strange for some travelers.

They arrived to Los Angeles, and she couldn't wait to feel the air of the city she love.
The custom was smooth, though the long line of tourists and other people seemed to be endless.

- Are you coming from Thailand?
-Yes I am.

The passport control guy did his checking on the computer.
- How long have you been in there?
- For about 3 months...
- It is long...he said.
- Yes...too long.
The officer made some notes, looked straight to the artist eyes and smiled.
- Welcome home.
Nothing was better than these words at the moment.
- Thank you...I am so happy to be back home.
She was the happiest person in the world.

I LOVE L.A.! With good and bad, I LOVE L.A. I miss it anywhere I go. I made it!

Her friend picked her up from the airport, and all night long they just have been talking about everything in the world. The artist emailed her brother, who didn't get a minute of sleep, and both knew that this bad adventure was over.

China

The plane from Bangkok to one from 3 major cities in China arrived safely, and it was a time to get the plane going to the U.S. to Los Angeles.
It were more customs to go trough, and the artist was scared. She never felt sympathy to any 3d world countries.

The custom looked grey and the energy remained her (Alkatratz jail) museum in San Francisco, scary and mean.
The custom women took artist passport, and checked on the computer, then she said you go to seat down there, and she pointed on the conner behind the passport control booth. She held the passport.
- May I have my passport back, please - the artist asked
- No, lady said- and pointed one more time to the seats in the conner, behind the custom.

There was not much of the choice and just to follow a direction, but if your document in the hands of the custom, it feels very wrong. Having experience in traveling, she never saw anything like this unless custom people have any major  questions.
The group of tourists in this "conner" little by little was growing,but many of them were concerned and asked what the hell is going on?
The artist got luck talking to the older gentlemen,who said he is coming to Thailand, and here for business very often, and it is normal.

More than 20 minutes went by, and a young man with a bunch of passports came to the group and started calling one by one and giving passports back to the owners.

Then everyone had to follow this guy to cross some gates to the international terminal.
It really looked and felt like jail people in the movies walking with a guard, or to say correct a communism approach was so clear.

The custom (mostly for luggage) for international flights was more nice, loyal and easy... not too many people.
.... She got there, she is in international zone...and in about two hours her plane to L.A. must take off.

She met a few people,with who they got some coffee... one was a traveller around the world (a guy)and another was a model (a lady) who came back from Thailand. They shared adventures,but became to the point, that Thailand maybe is good just for one time visit.

They called for the flight...
- I am going home, right now... from a long time she had a smile on her face.

... The plane took off on time.

Bank of America

Doesn't matter how much I was upset sometimes with a Bank of America, I stay with them.
My card was blocked again another day for protection purposes, for purchasing one software from the online Apple Store. I really had this software on my apple laptop, but I didn't know that.. so all this was a waste of my time, and $21, to all of that my card was blocked. I guess Bank of America doesn't like the online Apple Store for one or another reason.
The point is that the Bank of America customer service for this issue was opened 24/7 a big approvement what is very important especially if you're traveling. I can't believe I was talking to live person at 3 o'clock in the morning. Keep this way Bank of America just do not block my card please on weekends because of $21, it is kind of funky. Thanks anyway.

"In recent years, the U.S. State Department singled out millions of dollars in rocking the boat in Russia, - said K. Rayc our publication. - We had hoped to displace legitimate power in this country and to organize riots. Planned burning of cars, the revolt of the workers and peasants and other measures of instability, which came under Putin. But for Putin himself, we have prepared the fate of the Libyan Qadhafi scenario. "



However, according to the interlocutor agency, dedicated to the revolution of the funds were used inappropriately.Almost all of the dollars spent on vodka steadily for the leaders of opposition parties and gatherings. 


"This is a glaring fact - said Condoleezza Rice. - We have a huge experience of orange revolutions and the violation of stability in the affluent countries such as Russia. And in Russia we did not succeed.
Russian drunk all the money, and the boat was not rocked. " 



In connection with the situation the U.S. State Department today officially announced the termination of funding the orange revolution in Russia.
