Angkor, one of the world wonders among 50 places of a lifetime, chosen by National Geographic Society. This may be the main reason for me to travel this place because I love ancient cultures.

Due to the request from our customer in Iran, I was assigned by GM to go there shoot the trouble. Me and a responsible sale went to Dubai first visiting a potential distributor, and 2006 Gitex. Of course, we did not miss the opportunity to see the world famous 7-star hotel "Burj Al Arab", where many people would rather spend lots of money to stay one night for tasting the feel of luxury.

August 3th, 2003 ~ I came to United State for the first time, pursuing my master degree at University of Massachusetts Lowell. I still remember the airplane was seriously delayed by a thunder storm at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, which was a mass at that time. This was not funny, especially my first visit to US. Finally, at 4:00 in the morning, I reached my destination, Boston. Approximately 8 hrs delay, I was so tired and exhausted and nobody was gonna pick me up. What a special arrival for me, hahaha!! However, my first impression of Boston was it's tiny, classic and beautiful. I LOVE this city!! It is totally different from where I come from. And this journal is my records for living in this New England area around 3 years.

What triggers me to take this trip?? Nothing else but...Michael Jordan. He's like a basketball icon in my mind since I was a high school student. So, this has always been my desire to take pictures with his statue located in front of United Center in Chicago before leaving US. In this trip, I drove my car going west to Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Chicago, down south to Indianapolis, then went east to Washington DC, Philadelphia, finally back to my apartment in Lowell,MA. Totally I drove my little Honda Civic around 2400 miles.

Because of the long-term school off, I decided to do something special during this summer. Since I've never been to the west coast of America, I was starting to plan how this journey could be. This is the exact route I went through : 1.Denver,CO(Denver downtown/Rocky Mountain National Park/University of Colorado,Boulder)=

The second time to New York and stay NYC about one week ..

Why Egypt?? I really can't explain why I want to visit this country so bad, it's just like a desire from the inside of my heart. The ancient Egyptian stories, pharaohs, pyramids and mummies, all these secret stuff causes my attention since I was a child. I prepared myself for a long time and finally had a chance to go through this country, I was so excited!!
