i *touched* the iPhone  


I should have written about my time in El Paso first, but there’s alot of photo to go through and a lot of stories to tell, so I guess I’ll wait till we (me and Kayay) are back at Seattle. They can wait.

iPhone can’t!

iphone touchy!

I really didn’t expect to get to try on real -working- iphone, I figure I just wanted to see how it goes at the store, and maybe seeing iphone in glass box, so I pestered Kayay to drive to nearest at&t store, one of the two here, (there’s no apple store in El Paso T^T) we arrived about 20 or 15 mins before closing time, which turn out to be a good decision, there wasn’t many people in there, and to my surprise, there’s actually two real working units of iPhone in the store (not the silly dummy models) and one of the guy playing it surrendered it to me, bahahahaha. I tried everything on it, even putting some note on to see how the keyboard works (much better than normal cellphone) the ipod function (nifty) the camera, etc. too bad the internet didn’t work, I think it was either the network was overloaded or they disabled the net connection, although I did try the UI and I must say, it’s much better than anything else in the hand held category. It works like they advertised it, I think that’s what matter most.

you know what I wanted? I want apple to release a device like iPhone but sans the phone! maybe kinda like super mac micro? with touch screen and all, something that you would wanted to keep it with you all the times without looking like a geek carrying laptop everywhere, and it runs those little widget thingy along with ipod and internet where you keep it with you to use it offline and online when there’s wifi available, no need for phone carrier or costly monthly plan, or anything, hell, and maybe let it play DS game too.

call it iPad or something XD

Two Weeks in America  


Everyone: How is America?
Shari: COLD X_x

That’s about to sum it up so far, I’m staying with Kayay who is in Seattle where it is very hilly (me likes) and very windy (me no likes), the temperature was somewhat between 50 - 70 F which is fine and dandy until I converted it to Celsius, holy mother of god, that was 10 - 20 C! THAT is the lowest I have ever been in, and this is supposed to be summer…

I don’t want to think about my WINTER trip to Netherlands later this year @_@

altho cold weather does have its use, I finally got to wear big long coats, jackets, and SOCKS! without sweating all over myself <3

A ghost in Italian Room
Kayay , who also cook and feed me *shame*, took me to eat around the town - seafood, steaks, italians, sushi, junkfood, BBQ. I like all the food so far, I wish I took the picture, but I forgot most of the time @_@ I don’t know if I can say all food is good, because if I like it then it’s good enough for me, my standard isn’t high XD (don’t take it wrong way, Seattle XD)

one thing I noticed tho, that surprised me the most, strangers talk to you all the times, salesperson, shopkeeper, waiter waitress etc. They talked to you more than necessary, and by necessary I mean like salesperson or service person in Thailand who wouldn’t strike for small talk or talk at all unless it’s absolutely necessary, and Thailand supposed to be a land of smile eh? maybe they only smile to foreigners and people who looks rich.

I also got to visit alot of animal shelters, mostly cats, and holy smoke, these cats are BIG, I tried to pick up one that was listed as ‘extra large’ and almost topple over, I haven’t seen such big cats before, it made Thai cats look anorexic.

and don’t make me start about dog, most of the ‘large’ dogs are heavier than me, rather frightening, I wouldn’t want to be lone in the same room with any of them, they could kill me bare.. er.. paw. XD

beside animal shelters and restaurants, I also went to Seattle Art Museum, Market, Malls, watched cat show, attended Medieval Faire, I’d have written something about those, but I think, photos do a better job :D
