Coffee shop visit

The travel to the cafe on University Book Library, had a good flavour. The fact that we can see a lot of flavors, but above all, the comfortable place invite us to take a sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. The girl that attended us was son nice, at the beginning she has seen us with surprise, but when we told her about our homework she smiled and answered each question. She told us that the pumpkin flavor is the current favorite one for many people. On summer, is the cold coffee, but there, I asked for that one, because, I like to drink cold beverages in cold weather. So it was so perfect for me. Well, when is hot weather, I do not ask for heat beverages, just cold.

One partner asked for another one like latte. The funny thing is that on the coffee it was drown a figure. It is interesting to see, how the girl form them.

I learned that the experts in drinking coffee do not add sugar and they ask for espresso. Even,  they ask two shots!

Across the street I saw different cafes and perhaps, the environment invites to enter. Of course, the aroma that I can perceive and the place, will invite me to enter and enjoy a delicious black beverage

Mohai Museum

In the Mohai Museum I already had a good experience knowing some history about Seattle foundations. From reborn the city, the trains, guns and some other thing. I liked the place, was comfortable and I discovered some things about technology. Bezos center is inside too and it is amazing how simple things become in great things. The computer that follow objects is amazing. I have seen this before with Kinect game. It follows the body of the gamers.

Part of the area is surrounded by a lake, some boats and, in that day it was cloudy! In addition, it was raining and it made a lot of wind. So hard than it moves to us. All this things make feel terrific!

The point that Bezos, the Amazon CEO, put his part of his earnings is some thing that make me think and make, that the human been can be able to give what is in his reach.

The Veterans Day

This special day in USA, is a little hard for me. I saw that in this country is a special day for all the soldiers that gave their lives for their country. It is hard because some close friends passed away recently some few weeks ago. Just one week before come to Seattle. Every day when I walking to classes I use to walk beside a cemetery and I see a very interesting culture, because I see a comfortable place where the family say good-bye to their familiar that had passed away. There is no such amount of flowers that is be used in Mexico. Just the label of what he/she did alive. Some phrase to remember him/her ever.

It was recently a funeral and can be seen the land. Just it is a moment, a brief moment. In fact, I cannot see the hard moment of the family, but it is look like if they have to be strong and hard. It is a different culture, and so interesting.

The Ave

The Av is the shiniest street for students, because we can find food, books and where to waste our spare time. I already have seen Vietnamese Restaurant, Chinese, Indian, Thailand, Mexican chili bar and, of course, local food. But, I have seen, too, clothes, souvenir and books! I got into a vietnamese restaurant and I asked for something strange for me, but I thought "let's try". The mostly of the ingredients, I already know them, but some of them, I do not! I didn't want to ask about it and I prefered to maintain in secret. 

For people that want to get fun, they can buy sport clothes or simple wear a nice jacket, pant or sweeter. There are some stores, that can sell new ones, but I knew some store known as Second Hand. They sell used clothes by other people, but there are some products is a very good condition. Some of them are not so good. The price are lower that the new one, but in my experience is…that I have no experience buying clothes or shoes in second hand. It a little weird to see a local well settled.

One interesting place to visit is the University Book Store. We can find not only books, but also authors speaking about their book. This is amazing activity for me, because in my country I ever seen this before, even in Gandhi or Sótano de Coyoacán. Perhaps it happens, but not with the quantity of presentations here: more than 400 hundred.

Autobiography

My name is Juan Carlos. I was born on June 22th, 1971. It was the first day of that summer. It was raining at the midday when I gave my first shout in my life. Of course, there have been a lot since that moment.  For happiness or sadness. For success or fail. For good or bad.

Today after 4 decades, there is no a big difference when I was just one year old. I cry for health and I just doing the same. Perhaps at the beginning of my life, I did not know what I want to be but one thing is sure, I wanted to enjoy each moment and food. To play and to eat. That is one thing that through the years I have been doing for around 47000 times and I still enjoy.

In elementary school, I was an easy boy, relaxed and very simple. When I wanted something, simply I do it. If I could not I ask for that thing and if there was no possible to get it, I turn around and keep going on with another thing. My older brother was my best friend when I was a little boy. He cared me for many times and he thought me to cross the street, to clean my nose.

When I arrived to the university, there were a big decision where to study, what career to take. In high school, the decision was simple: wait the mail that tells us that we can go to study at UNAM. So, the mail arrived at home and I got the new that I wanted to hear. I got to enter to study the CCH and started a new period in my academic life. In my house, I suppose that they were happy but I do not know exactly.

After many years and two universities, I finally finish a career: Ingeniero en Sistemas Computacionales and I started to work giving classes in high school and in a consulting.

Time comes, I got married and after some things happened. Wright ow I have two beautiful babies. My max treasure in my life.

That’s in general what I am. 

Knowing Seattle

One of the shortest things I'm doing is sleeping. There are so many things what to do. Knowing the neiborhood, libraries, streets and lakes.

 

The vital thing in our lives is food so we discovered the "old" food that we do not use to eat, but here, we redicover.

Know new ways, gates to help our partner to arrive at home. Is team work.

The house of the knowledge is part of our tour in this adventure

When was going to imagine to see the place dedicated to staphylococus auris and streptococus mutans in a Street? So I put part of mine, here: the bubble gum street.

And the campus a little far from UDistrict, but  a comfortable place. The Bothell campus

Water, water and water the source of life, or at least part indispensable for it.

And of course the place for big parties: a museum of the Innovation. 

In this place it takes a crazy parties: the American Football with the SeaHawks. In fact, they won the SuperBowl 2014. 

I have seen a strange yellow object in the sky. Finally, after four days, I could wear my sun glasses.

Arriving to Seatle

Learning is an adventure and I came to Seattle for an English party. I had some problems with the flights and it took more than 5 hours to arrive to Seattle, but finally I got it.

The weather is incredible for me. Every morning until now I walk or run in the mornings and I feel like a bird. Is so light that is different from my country. There I feel heavier than here. I love to walk and found places to visit.

The cost is more expensive than my country, but I found some foreign food to discover flavor and prices.

This is the street where I live. It is so great to run in this neighborhood.

And this is one of the most representative buildings of th University of Washington. Its arquitecture is classic and the halls surronded by garden are exquisite to walk and to study too.

The street of our neighborhood invite us to walk and run. This Tecamac to arrived in Seattle. It was going to be a photo, but it became in a short video.
