Yeah, okay, it's been a month since I've returned from San Francisco but... I've never really had the time to blog about it, ya know? Man, San Fran was awesome. Better than I ever imagined and twice as fun. What wasn't fun, however, was the 25-hour flight from OR Tambo International to San Francisco International :-) The flight was admittedly easier on the way back. Sleeping helps. Anyways. I loved it - it blew my mind away. WWDC itself rocked. The technology, the speakers, the presentations, the excitement, the everything! It was sensationaly! Even getting up at 02:30 so that you can catch the ealiest train to the city center and waiting in the keynote line at 4am was just. so. awesome. That 6-hour wait between arriving at Moscone West up until the Keynote presentation actually started flew past like a leaf in the wind. If honestly felt like only an hour had passed. Once you start talking to the people around you, you just can't stop! So many people all with one common passion - technology, and more specifically, Apple technology. San Francisco itself was life-altering. It changed my entire lifestyle, the way I look at things, and the way I code. So many cultures, languages, people, landmarks, sights... It was definitely a memorable trip.
