I do find W Hotels are nicely designed, especially the one in San Francisco. Here’s W Hotel of Atlanta, Georgia, which doesn’t look too bad at all either.

W Hotels recently opened a new location in midtown Atlanta. The sleek, techno glam hotel, designed by I-CRAVE, Stephen Alton, Fruchtman Associates, and Ai Group in collaboration with W Hotels’ own design team, features 466 guest rooms, including 33 luxurious suites. The opening of W Atlanta-Midtown represents W Hotels’ second property in Atlanta, to be followed later this year by the opening of the new W Atlanta-Buckhead.

In 2007 I stayed at the JW Marriott Seoul for one night during a layover between Singapore and San Francisco.  I had one frustrating experience but otherwise the stay was excellent.

Lol, this is ridiculous, you cannot control what people watch through the internet. I’d say get another job if you don’t want to be bothered with people’s freedom.

Leaders of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, which represents some 19,000 workers including American Airlines flight attendants, asked American Airline’s management this week to consider adding filters to its in-flight Wi-Fi access to prevent passengers from viewing porn and other inappropriate Web sites while in-flight.
American Airlines is one of several airlines testing in-flight Internet access as a way to lure more passengers. American has been offering the service on a limited basis since August 20th on some flights between New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and between New York and Miami. The cost of the service on cross-country flights is $12.95, and it’s $9.95 on the New York to Miami route.

The Big Sur in California is a Must-See

I have to admit to driving by Big Sur on Highway 1 on the way from Los Angeles to my home in San Francisco.  Next time I get a chance, I will have to pay a visit to this awesome land of nature.  Apparently, it’s very beautiful.

El pais grande del sur, or the big country to the south is how Big Sur was first described by Spanish settlers from the Monterey area. It is one of those rare places that is wild and remote, yet easy to access and explore.

World\'s Largest Suspension Bridge in Japan!

Next time you are in Japan, make sure to check out the World’s Largest Suspension Bridge.

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, also known in Japan as the Pearl Bridge, has a record main span of 1,991 meters. By comparison, the bridge is 366 meters (almost ¼ mile) longer than the previous record holder, the StoreBaelt (East Bridge) in Denmark, which was also opened in 1998. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is also 580 meters longer than the Humber Bridge in England, constructed in 1981; 692 meters longer than the longest suspension bridge in the United States, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York, built in 1964; and 710 meters longer than the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, constructed in 1937.

It cost an estimated 500 billion Japanese yen (U.S. $3.6 billion) to build the bridge. Construction began in 1988 and involved more than 100 contractors.
