I can speak like Dory! (Visit of Seattle Aquarium)

So there I was, at the Seattle Aquarium, looking at weird fish and birds that I'd never seen before. I ended up there with the Seattle City Pass, because I was like "I better get my money back off that sh*t!". As always in aquariums, I ended up reading the texts presenting the fish more than actually looking at them. And as always, I couldn't remember any of the names once I read them – it may have been easier if I'd taken Latin in school. Read more...

The Space Needle

I attended several immersion programs at Seattle University before classes started. I made a friend named Erica in one of them. At the end of the program we decided on a whim that we would go to the Space Needle the next day. And so we did. That's approximately the size of the Space Needle compared to the Eiffel Tower... The Seattle Space Needle is pretty small compared to the Eiffel Tower. Read more...

The Seattle Central Library (Too High for Me)

This afternoon I wanted to go to the City-Target of Downtown Seattle to buy the pillow protector I was missing. But on the way I ran into a strange building... That's right, the Seattle Central Library! This is not one of my pictures! This building was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and was opened in 2004. I had to go on the top floor!

My First Twinkie

One morning I went grocery shopping at 7am because I was hungry (great) and to buy some Tide detergent (yay).

But then I went to the snack aisle, hoping to find the "Popcorn, Indiana" popcorn that I had discovered three days before, but there was none. Read more...

The shuttle's driver unloaded my bags in front of the entrance of the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport. The DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport The checkin was super quick because I'm a HHonors member. I received my room card for room #421 and the famous DoubleTree cookie, one of the reason why I had chosen this hotel over the Hilton Seattle Airport. Read more...

Do you have some Soücissan in your bag?

(Read the previous episode first: "WargointaSeatLe" (We are going to Seattle)) I made it! I'm finally in Seattle, WA, USA! I got out of the Boeing 747-400 that took me to Seattle with a big smile on my face and rushed to the customs hoping to be one of the first in line; but I was not. After waiting for ten minutes, I was in front of a customs officer. I gave him all my information, passport and DS-2019. Read more...
