Zero G

Being weightless is like nothing anyone can experience on Earth. Today I had experienced what astronauts feel in space. And now I can say that it lived up to my expectations, it's like the most incredible feeling i have experienced so far. First it was 1/3 of what we feel on Earth, just like on Marsh, 1/3 of your body weight, then Lunar 1/6 of your body weight, at this point you can easily do back flips or almost whatever you like. All this happens in a specially outfitted Boeing 727. Then 12 more parabolas of Zero Gravity, that is about 12 times 30 seconds of being totally weightless. So if you want to know how it feels to be upside down in an airplane on the ceiling non the less crawling, bouncing and doing all sorts of funny stuff, well then you have to ask me how is it possible.
In the meantime here are some pictures to speak for it.

There should also be a film follow up to this, but the night is late and it would take a lot of time to explain why I am unable to figure it out how to post a film...

Las Vegas

So I had to wait 11 years to see this wonder! First time at the airport (like 7or 8 years ago) didn't count, thought there are slot machines there too. Travel Mart, the conference I am attending is to begin Saturday night, but I am starting with something even better! It's so exciting that I won't even tell you ahead of it. .
It's rather strange to fly into a city where you see from the plane ride where the city starts. Almost like there is a fence, one side is nothing, or like mountains and water and lots of rock, then all of a sudden there is a road, then there is a golf course and condominium complexes and huge hotels. Having an airport in the middle of the city is strange too, convenient, but strange.
The second picture is in a mall, all of a sudden I see lightings and hear thunder...
Now I am off to have a bite of sushi then get my rest before the big day.
