Found an Apartment and Hopefully a Home

Last week I was in the Seattle area looking for a place to live in come March. The good news is that I found a place! Its located in downtown Bellevue, WA within walking distance from the transit station (large bus stop), mall, many restaurants and the downtown park. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the place, and even if I remembered someone was living there. I think it would have been creepy to take a picture of the guy's stuff, right?

But here is a link to an aerial map of the building.

Taking a month long break, from my break

In two days I leave for a month long trip to Germany and India. I am excited. As much as I would like to complain about the fact that I have been traveling a lot lately, I can't. I love it. I have yet to start packing, but I expected that I would have waited till the last minute anyways. I hope that when I get back I'll have many stories to tell and pictures to post.

Oh yeah, if you want to contact me either use facebook or email, I am leaving my phone at home.

Back from the Southwest

I returned yesterday from a week long trip in California, Nevada and Arizona. Over the week we drove over 2,000 miles and went from nearly sea level in LA to nearly 8,000 feet elevation at the Grand Canyon. I will try to write as much as I can about the trip before I head out to Seattle on Thursday. So here it goes!



Los Angeles:

The first part of the trip took us to Los Angeles area for the Rose Bowl. Unlike last new years where I spent it in London among thousands of people watching the fireworks, this year I was filling up gas in Venice, CA... I guess they can't all be memorable, haha. As you might have heard, Illinois was playing USC in the Rose Bowl, unfortunately Illinois lost, but it was still amazing to be at the Rose Bowl, definitely worth the hassle! After the game we went a diner called Fred 56 (I think...) and the food was great! On January 2nd we explored Orange County and headed out to Las Vegas.
