Why Started this Blog?

I just browsed through this New York Time's Best Seller "1,000 Places to See Befoe You Die"and thought it was quite a good book. However, there are certain places that I would not necessarily put on my list... and then binngggg!!! I thought why don't I start my own list... And that's why this blog came about. I want it to be my own travel guide with useful information... information that I or like-minded people would find useful... like directions, what to bring, when to go, and snapshots of the place. In the United States alone, there are so many beautiful, romantic, history, gigantic, and wondrous places to see. Starting my list at 100 will make it less of a chunk of task. And this list is not in any particular order, maybe sometimes. Mostly, it's based on places that I know of and have gone to, and have been wanting to go, etc. I hope to revise and expand the list as I go along... and who knows, maybe it will reach 1,000 places or more some days.

Philadelphia

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Drama
I don't have to say much about this academy-award winning film. I loved it at the time I saw it years ago. Now that I have been to Philadelphia. It's time to revisit the movie again. If you have not seen it, this is a must-see in your list.

This is another test...This piece is very long, but I found that this resolution is ok. When I save, probably have to save for screen viewing, not for email. Dimension is 320x240

Christmas In New York 2004




This was the 100th year anniversary of Time Square and my first time in New York. The quality of the video list horrible, but it's the only few video clips I made and I want to test it. Wonder what I could do to improve the resolution or making the screen smaller.
