Having seen the a big cities, I knew what to expect out of Chicago. I already and an aerial view once before landing in the Chicago Airport, but then, I had not walked into the downtown (the word used for cities in US). This time the travel was by land, so I could clearly sense the city when as we moved into Chicago.Waterways in the City Buildings Along the Lake Michigan As

Mystery Spot - Santa Cruz - CA
Posted on 11:00 by Unknown
I never believed until I saw, and now, when I say this, you are not going to believe me either. Can u believe that a ball can roll upwards on a wooden plank that is kept slanted, can u believe that an pendulum swings more one way than the other, can u believe that one person can grow shorter or taller than his height within seconds. Well I heard you... NO!!! NO WAY!!! Well destination arrived

World too small ???
Posted on 19:16 by Unknown
@ US 2007 On Sep'04 when I joined Patni Computer Systems, there were two more among others, Ash... and Man..., who joined the company at almost the same time. In the time that passed, we became good friends and then we parted with one of us moving to Japan and one to US. There was absolutely no contact with the person who moved to Japan. Now look at the coincidence, it so happens that

CN Tower - Toronto - Canada
Posted on 07:55 by Unknown
The CN Tower is located in Canadian, Toronto. It held the record of being the highest observation deck for more than 32 years. It stands apart from all the buildings that are there in that area. The security check looks funny. You are asked to stand on the threshold of two rooms and then air jet streams from either sides of the wall is blown on you. Thats the security check. On clearing

The Walland Canal - Canada
Posted on 11:55 by Unknown
The ship comes into the canalThis ship entering the canalHave u ever wondered what does it take to lift a ship 230 meters in length to a height to about 100feet from its initial position. When you can think of hydraulic lifts, huge pulleys, pressure lifts, huge cranes and all the technological marvels, one person came up with a simple idea. But to understand the beauty we first need to know where

Detroit to Canada on Greyhound Bus Service
Posted on 07:07 by Unknown
Crossing the Border to Canada by Road It has always been a dream to see what and international border looks like. And what generally comes up in mind in the Indo Pak boarder seen in movies. While I sat at the Greyhound bus station at Detroit (Greyhound is the bus service that runs between US and Canada), I wondered what will be the formalities that I would have to complete and weather I

Niagara - The Canadian View
Posted on 10:55 by Unknown
I had seen Niagara from the US side and did not know what to expect when I see the same Niagara from the Canadian Side. There is a water fall even in the American Side just beside the Niagara Falls. I had alwys expected it to be just a less brilliant from on Niagra. But now I know what the difference is. Niagara is shaped like a horse shoe and one can have the whole view of Niagra only

Niagara – The Serene Monster (US View)
Posted on 11:12 by Unknown
As the first steps move towards the fall, there is a rumble in the air. And there is a smoke rising from the ground to about 700meters above the ground. The smoke changes it shape but it does not spread. It remains, suspended as long as one can keep the eyes on it, but it does changes its shape. As we approach closer, the water can be seen and the notion of smoke

Visiting temple in US - good bad and the ugly
Posted on 08:31 by Unknown
Being in US for some time, a desire to visit a temple here was something that I looked forward to... Finally the day finally arrived, when I could visit a temple - the day of Navratri. But from the first step in to the last step out I went trough a churn of emotions.THE GOOD: As soon as I entered the temple, I could see a lot of people, which made me comfortable. It made me feel back home.. (as

Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon
Posted on 10:42 by Unknown
After witnessing the unbelievable we were sure that there can't be a bigger feast for the eyes. As we moved to the Bryce Canyon, we could not see habitation for hours together during the drive. But the landscapes were again breath taking. As we reached the top of Bryce Canyon, it was clear that they have tried not to commercialize the place. The hotel was very American in style. The food given
The Hoover Dam
Posted on 10:05 by Unknown
If Vegas lives the bright nights, it is because of the Hoover Dam (which supplies electricity). But how can there be water in a desert to create a dam. Until one witness there is no way one can agree to it. Once one starts cruising towards Hoover dam, one can witness unbelievable landscapes. One wonders, how can there be land so dry. The golden sand, piled below the
Glittering Bride of the Desert: LAS VEGAS
Posted on 08:02 by Unknown
Once you step out of the aero plane, it becomes very clear what the Vegas is known for. The airport itself has a large number of gambling areas. But the biggest surprise comes when you step out of the airport. The conditioned fragrance in the air is replaced by superheated water sucking air (the air that sucks water and energy from your body). When we landed, it was about 47deg C. But

It is near the Hanakoganei Station.Shinjiku, one of the most busy places in Japan. The place buzzes like a beehive all the time.. With lights all over, you just flow with the crowd.Skyline of Tokyo.The
Trains of Japan
Posted on 13:25 by Unknown
It might look so funny, what is to in traveling to a destination in Japan. Ya, It is funny enough. When I say travel it is the rail system of Japan. It is simply amazing, beautiful technological marvel. On the way of travel, we can see three trains traveling simultaneous along with us. One on the left side, one on the right side and one little far away, hanging (elevated rail). The rail network
Travel to Japan - My first Flight Journey
Posted on 11:20 by Unknown
Traveling to Japan was my first journey by flight. After going through the regular checks, I waited for at least an hour. Finally the call was made to board the plane. I was really happy to board the plane. It was like an air chair in a train; nothing more. I was somehow trying to kill time. There was a lady beside me, with a high chin showing arrogance. I did not know what I should do so I sat
