1725 blog entries ago... Many years ago, I started this blog with Blogger.com. Today, I found out that blogger will no longer support the FTP blogging support. So what does that mean? Well, that will mean that my current blogging format will change before March 26th. I knew this was too good to last forever. I was really lazy and was going to sit on blogger.com until I really have to. Now I am forced to move to a different blogging format. In the next few weeks I will see what I can do in my server to host my own blogging engine. It will most likely be wordpress. so stay tuned!!! |

Traveling without a car today I like public transportation. I like trains, ferries, and buses. I never really thought about why I like them, but I just like them. Today is a special day, I am going to Bremerton for work. My coworker will pick me up at the ferry terminal on the otherside. So, I am taking the public transportation the entire way. Few things I notice, and maybe these are the reasons why I like public transportation. 1) The city looks so much different when you are on the bus.  2) When I am traveling without my car, I just feel so light and free. I mean I don't have to worry about parking, break-in's, and everything else associated with a car. Granted, I don't get the excitement of driving, but it is good to change it up a bit.  3) no traffics to deal with. That is relaxing :) |

Today I learned to tie my shoes... Yes I do know how to tie my shoe laces... so I thought... I've been doing it the same way since I was in preschool... two bunny ears and so on... I have received many comments through out the years that I tie my shoe laces like a kid. I don't mind those comments but what I do mind is that my laces always comes loose. I think today I figured out why. http://lifehacker.com/5451765/ditch-the-granny-knot-to-tie-your-shoes-more-effeciently After looking at the above article, I tried to change my second knot in revers I think that is why it is always coming loose. so... yeah... we will see... So I still tie with bunny ears.. but the second knot is now in reverse to be tigher... I hope it works... |

Doh... read it too fast... So... because of my long trip to europe, I decided to start reading the manga Full Metal Alchemist. Well, first I read past the point where the anime is currently. I then started to read all the available menga volumes of FMA from the Seattle Public Library. After I finished with that, I still can't get enought and I started to read the most recent chapters online. So last night I reached chapter 103 and oh no there is no more. Ahhh.... it is so good I need to know what's going on.

New week New hotel and Luggage!!! Finally So today started off pretty late, I guess I am pretty tired from all the long nights from previous days, but it is the beginning of a new week and the beginning of my last week in France. Today started with my panic attempts to access the internet to finish my work timesheet. With all this traveling, I forgot that I still need to fill out a vacation time card for work. So, I ended up at the local McDonald trying to use their free internet to VPN back to our office to complete my time card. Yes for some reason our internet did not work in our hotel. :( Amazingly, right after finishing my time card, we discovered that there is an Air France Office nearby. We've been here for a few days and there is an Air France office just right next to where we were staying, AMAZING!! Since we have not gotten our luggage yet, we decided to go and see if they can help us. After around 20 minutes of waiting and talking to the reps, we got our new hotel address updated in their system, and found out that they have found one of our luggage and maybe delivering it today. Woo hoo!! With that wonderful news, we help our friends drag their luggages across Paris to our new hotel. Our new hotel is a bit nicer, it even have an RFID key for opening room doors. How cool huh? However, the location of the new hotel is a bit farther than the previous location, but it is still very close to the metro. Once we all checked in, we decided to go for another city bicycle ride around Paris. Oh, I just love riding bikes around Paris!!! This time, we rode to the Picasa museum and the Victor Hugo's House. Unfortunately the Picasa Museum is closed until 2012 and all other museums are closed for Monday!!!   We parked our bikes and stopped for lunch at the Cafe Hugo. Yumm Yumm... Beef and Carrots!!    Victor Hugo's House.  After a short break we decide to get another bike and ride to Pompidou center. However, I ended up getting a bad bike and unable to return it properly so I was not able to check out another bike. My friends ended up pushing their bikes along the side walk all the way to the pumpadu center. :( sorry guys...  More stairs!!! This is one of my favorite stairs shots.  After a short visit around the Pompidou center, I got a new bike (paid another 3 euros) and rode to the islands to have some ice cream with my friends at the Berthillon ice cream shop. Yummy!!! They have, supposedly, the best ice cream in Paris. So on a cold winter day, we were having ice cream.  Xavier making Hot Chocolate!!    The shops on this street have some really interesting things.    A night view of Notre Dame de Paris, as we walked toward the near by Metro Station.  For dinner, we went to a small wine shop near Bercy. So, tonight I learned that you can not call red wines smooth, you have to describe the wine as fruity or not so fruity... so many things to learn about drinking wine.   Sausages and beans.  Duck breast salad.  After our wonderful dinner, Xavier took us to a night stroll near the France National Library. and more "stairs" pictures ;)   After we finally returned to our new hotel, half of our luggage was waiting for us!!! YEAH!!!! However, the other 1/2, my half is still missing!!!... so far I have travelled in the same clothe for 7 days. Oh don't worry, I do wash them nightly ;).  Tomorrow: Versailles
