Living in a small town, we need remainders of other big cities. It’s so easy to flow with a small town life and not realize a world outside. When a long weekend came, we were all ready to get out of our shell and get exposed. Seattle, here we are! Space needle is a must!! (Tickets are pricey!) Space needles has a moving glass floor. … Continue reading

“Phir bhi Dil hai Pakistani”: heart is still Pakistani
Although, we didn’t get the Summer temperatures, we got a lot of sunshine ( no complains, well except that driving east bound in the morning with the sun making it impossible to see). As I came out of the tutoring lab at my local community college, I totally felt in love. It was magnificent! The sky was a shade of gray. Trees had a fresh … Continue reading “Phir bhi Dil hai Pakistani”: heart is still Pakistani
Pic is worth 1000 words…
I am by no means a photographer. But, if you are at Sunset Beach, Oregon, pictures are all that can take your heart away. The water is so cold, atleast for old peeps like me. Kids rock on! (Check out how majestically the crow is enjoying the day!) Continue reading Pic is worth 1000 words…

Impressed!
Personally speaking, I don’t like Dollar Store ( a shop which sells everything for $1). First, hear me out and then you may agree with me why I don’t like Dollar Store. Everything they sell is a cheap quality, until it is a brand name. The toys are just to use one/two times. The plasticware is terrible: the lid will turn you into a gorilla … Continue reading Impressed!
Mushroom Picking
This was my first mushroom picking without kids. In other words, I was the one who was suppose to look for them. Luckily, I had one of the best mushroom hunters with me-the best of Oregon and Trinidad. We (mostly, they) found a lot of Chanterell ( it is one of the most populary eaten wild mushroom). There were Turkey Tales. Now, this I can … Continue reading Mushroom Picking

Without further adiou, I started walking. Bear in mind, driving this route takes five-ten minutes. I drive here all the time. But walking is a whole different experience. I … Continue reading 3.6 miles

They are here for the “world”( everything have to be “world” famous in USA) famous golf course in Bandon. Continue reading Look Who’s Here
Earplugs, please.
If you ever hear a lot of screaming coming from inside a high school gym, don’t be startled. It is probably a team of girls volleyball. I have never been to a volleyball game. The only volleyball I have encountered was in my days of high school. I just remember trying out and ouch. It hurts. The other time I witnessed volleyball was on the … Continue reading Earplugs, please.
