They Call it Home

I just got back front he US. I can say that it was a wonderful trip. I had time to relax and think things over. I’m glad that I made that trip, after all I made a right decision for one. Anyway, in one of my road trips there, I noticed that RVs are still widely used in the US. It got me thinking, how is it living in one? Does it give the same function as a house? What about if it breaks down? I gathered that it’s not really hard finding rv repair nowadays. This is good news for those RV owners, I know there are a lot who are really hardcore when it comes to that kind of living. To them it’s their home, totally the same from the “homes” that we have.

Games… Then and Now

Did you enjoy your childhood? What games did you play? Looking at the children now, I don’t think we played the same games. They have different interests now, more on computers, yes computer games. I wonder if they ever played with a yoyojam. They are missing a lot if they don’t play this kinds of games. This is what we played when we were younger and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Sometimes I am saddened that kids do not know the kind of games we used to play, how I wish I can introduce it to them. But as it is they seem to enjoy their kind of game, so I let them be.

Tags Here and There

I’m back! Hopefully I’ll be back to work too. I want a fresh start and to start off I want one of these custom desk name plates. Nothing fancy though but I love it. It’s about time I put desk plates in the office so people would know where to go. Isn’t it a nice idea? Our office is just small but this doesn’t mean that we can be limited to certain things, right? So yes, I want desk plate!

Seattle’s Best/s

Thanks to my longtime college friend Rhona for sponsoring my Seattle spree from the – round trip plane ticket from San Francisco to Seattle, accommodation, good food, souvenir items and the tour. Succeeding posts will feature Seattle’s bests!

The Space Needle is a tower in Seattle, Washington and is a major landmark of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and a symbol of Seattle. Located at the Seattle Center, it was built for the 1962 World’s Fair, during which time nearly 20,000 people a day used the elevators, with over 2.3 million visitors in all for the World Fair. The Space Needle is 605 feet (184 m) high at its highest point and 138 feet (42 m) wide at its widest point and weighs 9,550 tons. When it was completed it was the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River. It is built to withstand winds of up to 200 miles per hour (89 m/s) and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude, which would protect the structure against an earthquake as powerful as the 1700 Cascadia earthquake. The tower also has 25 lightning rods on its roof to prevent lightning damage.

The Space Needle features an observation deck at 520 feet (160 m), and a gift shop with the rotating SkyCity restaurant at 500 feet (150 m). From the top of the Needle, one can see not only the Downtown Seattle skyline, but also the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, Elliott Bay and surrounding islands. Photographs of the Seattle skyline often show the Space Needle in a prominent position, even appearing to tower above the rest of the city’s skyscrapers, as well as Mount Rainier in the background. This occurs because the tower, which is equivalent in height to a 60-story building, stands more than a kilometer northwest of most downtown skyscrapers.

Visitors can reach the top of the Space Needle via elevators that travel at 10 miles per hour (4.5 m/s). The trip takes 43 seconds, and some tourists wait in hour-long lines in order to ascend to the top of the tower. On windy days, the elevators are slowed down to a speed of 5 miles per hour (2.2 m/s). The Space Needle was designated a historic landmark on April 19, 1999 by the City’s Landmarks Preservation Board.

It’s Freezing Cold

It’s freezing cold and I am not really prepared for this. I don’t know if I will ever be. At first I got excited to the idea because I can dress up pretty much. I just can’t do winter dressing in the country where I came from, tropics. It’s a good thing my friend has something like these columbia jackets, it has kept me warm during this cold months. I’m glad I was able to experience winter, but I don’t know if I am solved to the idea of having it once a year, but then again everything is a matter of adjusting.
