Once again
I was visiting Palo Alto, California. It was Saturday morning when I realized
that San Jose Sharks was playing against Vancouver Canucks the same night. I
went online and bought tickets to the game. At the evening I was heading to HP
Pavillion, the home of Sharks. I knew the address of the arena, 525 West Santa
Clara Street. Unfortunately the Herz Neverlost allowed me to enter only part of
the address without specifying the Western part of the address. It was
completely dark when I arrived, according to Neverlost. However, the place was
a small bar, far from the arena. Nobody in the bar knew anything about ice
hockey, San Jose Sharks, or anything else that was useful to me. Seems that
there are only couple of fans who know ice hockey. Anyway, the game was supposed
to start soon and I was lost far away from the place where I was supposed to
be. As an innovative guy I was trying to figure out a solution how to get to
the right place. Then I realized to check from a paper map the name of the
street close by the ice hockey arena, entered that to the Neverlost and arrived
just in time to the game. The arena was nice, even better than Hakametsä in
Tampere. The audience was rather calm. However, when the first fight
started, the audience started to get anxious. Also during the Canucks penalties
the audience got anxious to eat the opponents like sharks.
