Happy Earth Day

After a very long campaign by green activists and responsible leaders, environmental awareness has finally been responisbly met by political will in the White House.

(Worldwide sigh of relief...)

After Sunset

Tai Shan

I think it is virtually impossible not to like Pandas, they are the rock stars of the animal kingdom, people go to the zoo just to see them -and yet they are the most gentle creatures, as if they existed inside a bubble of peace .

Embraer

In a commercial airliner market dominated by two companies -Boeing and Airbus- it is a rare opportunity to come accross a third player in the medium range class. Especially if you don't fly very often. So I was pleasantly surprised when a few days ago I found out I'd be boarding an Embraer 190. It was nice to have no middle seat to deal with, and for a smaller plane they were as roomy for a passenger as a 737 or equivalent -Jetblue boasted to have "the most legroom of any domestic airline" -also, each seat had its own TV screen with free music and TV channels to choose from. Not bad.
