With everything packed, we're ready to start our West USA journey with a total 36 hours flight and transit hours from Kuching (KCH) to Wichita (ICT) using both China Eastern and United Airlines. The flight wasn't as pleasant as we thought, the seats were too small and there was no space to stretch our legs. The flight from Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG) to Chicago Ohale Airport (ORD) took about 15 hours, added up again the 8 hours transit hours in PVG, 5 hours flight from KUL to PVG and 5 hours transit hours in KUL previously. We're completely exhausted when the plane finally landed at Wichita. Despite the exhaustion after long flight duration, the outside temperature of Wichita was chilly, it was about 15°C. The local time was 8.40 PM (UTC-5 hours), due to daylight saving, the sun just about to set. After we dropped our baggage at our accommodation, we went to Walmart and bought some groceries for our dinner. The jet lag and chilly weather caused insomnia and fatigue to some of us. It took us 2 to 3 days to get over the weather and the jet lag. Jet lag was something quite cool experience because by the time we having it, the kidney could be in Malaysia, liver in Tokyo, but brain in current location. Day 1 was ended with forcing myself to sleep at midnight in a completely strange place.
