I just came back from a conference trip to Baltimore, USA. The only thing I enjoy much staying in university is the opportunities to travel around. So far, I have been to USA (2x), Japan, UK (3x), Netherlands, Belgium, Ghana, S. Korea, Vietnam (2x), Thailand (5x), and Singapore (2x).
However, my experience to US this time was not very good. Upon arriving at the 1st airport in USA (Detroit), I was invited to a room to fill in a questionnaire and being interviewed for almost 30 mins. I think only people from selected countries need to be there for interview. I feel like being discriminated. Also, I was asked when I would return and told to come to Detroit custom office to get my passport stamped before leaving. This was quite an insult (as if I might over stay there).
Baltimore is famous with its seafood. Their special delicacy is the crab cake as shown.

Moh Lim,
Ha ha the crab cake does not look as delicious as rendang.
What did you do in Ghana?
Moh Lim,
Welcome to the club. I am a regular of the US immigration special registration everytime I step into US soil. I am pretty use to it already. We just happen to be the unlucky ones as once you are tagged, you will have to go through this everytime you visit US. Dun worry and be happy... :)
maybe you are not representing a US company, that's why the immigration need to take more time to verify the 'authenticity' of your visit.. :D
btw, of all the things in baltimore that you can show us, you only show the crab cake? :D
It is just a harbor. Nothing much special. I got some more photos. Come to my house, I will show you :-).
Next year ask me to go to Karim house also, I miss the Rendang.
Any update from him, got bini already kah?
Telekom got investment in Ghana Telecom last time. As a result, my university (under Telekom) offered twinning program there. I was there to carry out validation visit.
It was scary experience. When I visited the country, I could still see remnant due to war etc. Roads were really bad that people there had to drive 4-wheel car to travel around.
Anyway, people there that I encountered were nice and rendered great hospitality. They also had the best pineapple juice I ever had before.
