Here’s a really great view from the Empire State Building, wow…
| The Empire State Building is a 102-story art deco skyscraper in New York City, New York at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York. It stood as the world’s tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center’s North Tower was completed in 1972. Following the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, the Empire State Building again became the tallest building in New York City. |

Here’s an interesting landmark in Japan, the Atom Bomb Dome!
At the beginning of the Hiroshima
area economically, Hiroshima responded to the need for a central facility
through which to expand trade routes. Plans were drawn up for a commercial
exhibition hall on the banks of the Motoyasu River. Construction was completed
in April 1915, and the new building was named the Hiroshima Prefectural
Commercial Exhibition HMI. It was formally opened to the public in August that
year. In 1921 the name was changed to the Hiroshima Prefectural Products
Exhibition Hall, and again in 1933 to the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial
Promotion Hall. During the war, as Japan’s economic fortunes worsened, the hall
was commandeered for such governmental, quasi-governmental and rationing offices
as the Chugoku-Shikoku Public Works Office, the Hiroshima District Lumber
Control Corporation and others. |

Here’s some pics of Venice where they can get to places on boats, how cool is that?
|
“Without streets and vehicles, the uproar of wheels, the brutality of horses, and with its little winding ways where people crowd together, where voices sound as in the corridors of a house where the human step circulates as if it skirted the angles of furniture and shoes never wear out, the place has the character of an immense collective apartment, in which Piazza San Marco is the most adorned corner”.

Here’s some great info about Vivocity in Singapore. I wanna go there now…
| This shopping centre, Vivocity, is considered the biggest in Singapore. Since it is just about 10 minutes away from my office, it has been my favorite place to go after lunch or work. It sure has a good mix of shops selling a variety of products. Although most of the shops sell upmarket products and brands from designer labels, you should still be able to grab something that may worth its value. There’s a hugh hypermarket (GIANT hypermart) on the 1st floor and basement that actually sells products and snacks at a price worth beating. Be sure to go there for your necessity such as mineral water. |

Here’s a cool luxury trailer for traveling the U.S. on land.
Kevin Fitzsimons has recognized my personal weakness for Airstreams and sent MoCo Loco his MObi project, a restoration and modernization of a 1978 Sovereign 31’ Airstream Land Yacht. “Designed for today’s wealthy traveler, MObi will encompass the latest in available smart technology, be completely green and loaded with creature comforts.”. |
