at&t is the suckiest. doubt they have any real 5g yet. more like faux 5g (4g lte advanced) as the auction just concluded for the 3.7-4.2 ghz band, and they only manage to secure a spotty footprint as their slices of frequencies cost half of what verizon has paid. t-mobile is best for 5g as they have a national footprint for 600 mhz and 2.5 ghz, frequencies that are most desirable and effective for coverage (and capacity with the wide channels), especially 2.5 ghz. 2.5 ghz has wider channels than 600 mhz (laws of physics as frequency increases) and offers higher download speeds than 600 mhz.

Being a frequent traveller for work and not been travelling for almost 2 years I always thought my first trip would be like before, for work and close by however it was not to be as last weekend decided to make a personal family trip not back to Singapore but to the States.

Although there is not requirement for visa for me there is still a requirement to apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). Its done online - https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ its easy to fill after that you pay $14 website tells you will reply within 2 days. I received a reply from them in about 1hr 10mins that its been approved. Was surprised. The other things I needed to do were standard stuff - PCR test; vaccine passport and ready to go. Need to be prepared for coming back so insurance is important and return PCR.

Finally after LAX arrived in Denver Airport on Wednesday

Took a local transport $35

After an hour at a small town hotel

Very nice hotel

Amazing China once there don't feel like going home...

Oh the second night here took a 2km walk and found a Vietnam noodle restaurant Pho 777

It was cold so this bowl of hot pho helps a lot. Tastes well to the soup.

Walking the same 2km back to hotel passed by a drive-in fast food restaurant - SONIC. For me this is interesting

The car on the right is buying for take away

For cars dining in they part their cars like this and make their order, after order is ready will be send to them and eat in car

This is outdoor dining-in (there is no indoor dining) however due to covid they don't allow eating here

More booths for dine-in yor car

Looking at the menu and photos I think they serve very nice fast food. Got to try if have a chance.
