I played paintball at Skirmish in Pennsylviania for the very first time a week ago. It was awesome!!! We drove from Manhattan to Pennsylvania over the weekend, about a 2 hour drive. We arrived at Skirmish in Jim Thorpe, PA about 9:30 in the morning.
Ferry to Staten Island from downtown Manhattan....Manhattan in the distant background
Three Musketeers in front of Wall Street... Brian....Hosun.... and Kyle
A couple of weeks ago, I went to DC for a conference. DC is about 4 hours drive from New York. This is my first time in DC. I absolutely love the city. People were much more polite than New York, and the city is very organized with a clean subway system. They probably have one of the best subway systems in US, although the one way roads in downtown DC is a different story. Of course I did the touristy stuff. I took this pic of Washington Monument(華盛頓紀念碑) from Lincoln Memorial directly across. This is the world's tallest stone structure build in the 1880's. The day I took the picture was perfectly sunny. Unfortunately, the reflecting pool was slightly green....
Lincoln Memorial...
Someone at work sent this to me. It's super funny!! I think it's made by third year internal medicine residents at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania a few years ago.
I went to Europe a couple of weeks ago with my family. This is Switzerland. We drove from Milan to Lucern. This is a small town near Lucern, filled with locals who came to here to ski. Switzerland is divided in regions that speak French, German, and Italian. Most of the people in this town spoke German. A small percentage (<1%) of the people in Switzerland spoke Romansh. In the Southeastern region.
