You know you're in California when...

...the sign says Welcome to California. Duh.


I suppose you also know when after 10 days of driving you finally see diamonds in the left lane indicating carpool because....


...there is SO MUCH traffic!


And lastly, you know you're in CA when you get searched by border patrol.



We got stopped at the border and patrol dude asked where we were traveling from. Jina (in the driver's seat) responded matter-of-factly, "We drove all the way across the country from New York." D'oh! Patrol dude suddenly became very curious, asked about the contents in our car, and said he wants to take a look at our trunk. With a bit of sass, Jina replied, "Fine, but good luck with that. Just make sure you shut it when you're done." Yes, JJ gave border patrol some attitude and he got completely flustered. I envy her audacity! After all, who says you have to fear authority?
