Treasure Hunt in San Francisco

I like playing computer games while enjoying spare time. There are a lot of computer games offered nowadays either for children, teenagers, even adults. I prefer to play an adventure one because it would give more challenges and also has some conundrums inside. I usually play several kinds of adventure games which are provided by Gamehouse.

One of my most favorite games provided by Gamehouse is Big City San Francisco Adventure. It’s kind of a treasure hunt game. We have to find some hidden treasures in many San Francisco’s big cities. I like playing this game so much because we don’t only hunt treasure in several places but also could feel to visit San Francisco personally. Furthermore there are some beautiful pictures and brief explanations about each place that we would visit later so that we could get more traveling information. At this adventure journey, I have visited several famous places such as Alcatraz island where there was a popular prison, The War Memorial Opera House which is being a great place to see an opera, Conservatory of Flowers that is the oldest and one of the largest public conservatory in the US, Baker Beach which has an amazing view of The Golden Gate Bridge and The Mission District as well. Nevertheless it would be nice if there is a game which could bring us visiting many famous places around the world. Hopefully!

Learning from Them Who Have Become Rich

Being a rich person is the biggest dream and desire for almost people in the world aside from whether they come from lower, middle, or higher socioeconomic levels. As long as they have enough faith and more confidence to reach it hence everything is possible to be true. Furthermore sometimes we need to read some inspirational stories of success people who are called as Nouveau Riche to boost our spirit up. These people have gone out from poverty circle and moved to go to successfulness stairs. (more…)

When It Wasn’t Easy to Get Soft Drink

I believe that it’s not difficult for you to get a glass of Coca-Cola or Sprite when you are in US, UK, even in my country. Actually such kinds of soft drink are neither scarce nor luxurious things since they are available in each supermarket and roadside shop. But it will be different if you go to China. While you are having a lunch or dinner at some Chinese restaurants, you won’t meet either Coke or other soft drink above the table even if you ask for them.

This is one of my new inventions when I was going to China at this July. Most Chinese restaurants usually provide one pot of Chinese tea which can be refill repeatedly. Actually that kind of tea has many benefits for our health especially while we are eating large portion of Chinese food. As we have known before that most of all Chinese food usually contain large amount of pork which have a lot of fat inside so that Chinese tea are really useful in those fat reduction. Unfortunately there are some people who don’t like drinking that healthy tea because of its taste and actually I am one of them. Therefore I preferred to drink water or soft drink instead of Chinese tea. It has been a unique adversity when I was there because it was quite difficult to get both of them in my dining table. Even for a glass of cold water, it’s true that several Chinese restaurants don’t provide it. In such condition we better drink Chinese tea even in small amount otherwise we get thirst or hiccup while enjoying our meals.
