May 17th & 18th : Seattle, Washington. Friends!

Always good to see friends again.

Lockheed Martin M-21 + D-21, Museum of Flight, Seattle, WA. All time fav plane.

Seattle is a nice a big city which isnt touristy. much. I didnt really see much as I spent all day at the museum of flight with Tng, who was nice enough to bring me around. The museum had lots of really cool planes, though. Such as the French SPAD XIII through WWI, the above M21, the Supermarine Spitfire (also one of my favourite planes), and also the Fokker Triplane. If you’ve ever had an interest in planes, they have them right here. in abundance.

Seattle is home to Boeing and Starbucks, arguably 2 of america’s biggest and well known companies. But Seattle, unlike some other cities i’ve visited, is diverse enough not to be defined by just a handful of large companies.

Im too tired to blog anymore. lol. maybe i’ll just sum seattle up tomorrow. I really havent done as much travelling as i’d love to. but i’ve gone say 2 weeks without a proper place to call home and no privacy. it’s really tiring when you cant sleep well and travel around and have no privacy. it just gets to you. =/

well, night, people. i really think seattle is an awesome city. now if i only knew where to go to check the place out…
