My USA Diary - New York
|
|
New York, my last stop in USA, is a similar city to Istanbul in many ways. City has serious traffic jams and chaotic traffic. As Vehicles change lanes frequently, pedesterians sometimes do not wait the green light to cross the road. Unlike other cities you can bargain with salespeople. However in order to get rid of this chaos only thing you should do is to take a step into the Central Park. You feel as if you were out of city center at this huge park that people can run, cycle, sit on grass, do boating at lake. New York is really a huge city. It would be nice to join a Sight Seeing Tour on a Double Decker bus. These tours are continue in daytime and you can hop out at a stop, walk around and after hop in again. Even at night, thanks to the the light of lcd's at Times Square, you can walk as if it's daytime. While Sight Seeing tour you will see a lot of beautiful buildings. Especially Statue Of Liberty, Empire States Building, Chrysler Building, Brooklyn Bridge will impress you.

My USA Diary - Seattle
|
|
I spent 4 days in Seattle while attending Microsoft Mvp Global Summit 2008. Seattle is known as a technological city beacuse of the settlement of Microsoft and the Boeing Factory. However Seattle has a quiet and peaceful life style. Another intesting fact about Seattle is that the weather is cloudy and dark 75% of a year. It is also possible to see marines and houses in the middle of nature that impress you. Even not as high as in Chicago you have the chance to see the city from the top by visiting Space Needle. If you have leisure time, you can join Underground Tour to visit Old Seattle or plan a trip to Seattle Aquarium to view sea life closer and see surprisingly cute animals. If you are enthusiastic about technology attending a tour to Boeing Factory is a great opportunity that you should not miss.

My USA Diary - Chicago
|
|
I had the chance to spend 2 days in Chicago just before attending the Microsoft MVP Global Summit which was held in Seattle. Most of you know that Chicago's most known nickname is The Windy City. That is a perfect nickname for Chicago because it was really so windy and so cold. To decrease the effect of cold you can get an extreme hot drink from Starbucks that you can see every five minutes on your walkpath. Also in the downtown Chicago wherever you look you can see a skyscraper. Skyscrapers were so high that the gps device was not working correctly. To feel the height of skyscrapers you can visit the Hancock Observatory at the 94th floor of John Hancock Center which totally has 100 floors. At this observatory while feeling as if you were in a plane you can see 130km(80 mile) away and 4 different states. When you see Lake Michigan, you can easily be impressed with the size of the lake, the view of of the running and cycling tracks and the beauty of the parks. You can also visit the Buckingam Fountain which was seen in the trailer of Married With Children and for shopping you can find lots of shopping malls and stores on Michigan Avenue.

My Longest Day
|
|
The title of my entry may remind an episode of Scrubs, however 11 April 2008 was the longest day I’ve ever lived. I had a flight from Istanbul to Chicago on 11st April 2008 at 10:00. After a 12 hours flight, it was exactly 14:00 on the same day when I arrived Chicago. Consequently, I had a 32 hours of day instead of 24 on 11 April 2008. It was a different experience I had in my life. But I’ll be living my shortest day on the way back home.
