Novice!
Well, Yesterday I had a job interview in San Francisco, I live in Berkekey and I don't have a car yet. So, I had to go there by BART,
It was the first time that I wanted to go somewhere by BART, I even didn't know how
I should purchase the ticket!
when you want to begin something it seems a little bit scary, I felt chill inside, and of course I was hoping not being lost!
anyway, I took a bus to Shattuk Ave. to go to Ashby Bart, I found the nearest station on
www.Bart.gov and checked it with bus lines to see how I should go there.
my life here seems like an Adventure Game! you should check beforehead and then go for it!
oh, my God! I wish I had someone too snap pictures, I was acting like a fool!
looking around, asking people where I should go, What I should do,
at last, I found where I should purchase the tickets, and it was just the begining!
in my country we use more cash and less credit cards, so I have no idea how people here use
these cards, I have one ATM, which I'm getting used to it:)
I put my card in machine and I tried to find out how much I should pay, it is another game,
you should count the amounts, and press the keys..
for other people it took almost 2 minutes to get their tickets and for me, maybe 8 !
people were looking at me, and they were wondering what I was doing!
it was hilarious,
finally, I did the it! I had the ticket in my hands, wow, it was like a victory.
now let's find out which line is mine! I looked at the maps, it was easy and very soon I found out
which line I should take.
for being sure, I asked a very nice lady about the lines.
she was coming with me and all the way to san francisco, we talked and talekd.
when I arrived at Mongomary station in San Francisco, I got off.
