How Many Times I Visited the Bay Area
By Jian Shuo Wang on 2012-07-21 03:28 · TravelI am asking myself the question:
How many times I visited the bay area?
I asked because I was asked, many times.
The first clue come from the United Airlines frequent flyer program. Although I don’t always fly United, it is a good place to get started. Then the blog posting is another very powerful way to trace back. Finally, combined with the US customer stamps on my passport, I basically have some idea.
The short answer is, 16 times in the silicon valley, plus few other trips to Seattle, Chicago, and New York. That is a lot in the last few years.
