in the us...

getting through the US Immigration in SFO (the airport) is pretty annoying. The average person takes about 3 minutes to get through. The queue is so long it takes up the whole entry hall. Even with most of the counters open, it took us more than 1 and half hours to get through.

That's a long time! I always miss the efficiency of Hong Kong's Immigration whenever I go abroad. Of course, there's more the US Immigration need to check (eg. suspected terrorists).

I'll be flying on 7am Tuesday, 31st July. I'm already packing now. Hopefully we'll both be able to post (both text and photos) while we're away from Hong Kong.

tell me how long British immigration took. I bet it's much shorter.

I think the us immigration got overwhelmed, because I think I heard some other people on my flight that 8 flights landed within 30 minutes into SFO.

Also, most people also need to go through the agriculture check thingy (where they check for food imports and other stuff).
