takeoff and landing

I practiced short field takeoff, soft field takeoff, short field landing, and soft field landing. It was easy to maneuver. I tried 3 different restaurant. I went to Tai Pan in downtown Palo Alto, and I thought the food was okay and overpriced, I guess the rent is too high. I went to Choi Korean Restaurant which I liked and the restaurant was filled with Koreans. You can grill your meat at the table. I had dinner at Gombei in San Jose Japantown, I liked the food, I ordered the salmon croquette with beef. I walked with my cousin Manang Mary and she was so fast in walking, I had to move my arms to catch up. I went with her to Choi and Blondies for yogurt. I watched the movie 21 and I liked it.

South Africa, Victorial Falls, Botswana

I just came back yesterday from South Africa. I went to Cape Town, Johannesburg, Edeni Game Reserve for safari, and the mountains area. I also went to Victoria Falls in the Zimbabwe side. That was the highlight of my trip, going to Victoria Falls, you can feel the rush and power of the waterfalls. I went to Chobe National Park in Botswana for one day, I saw so many elephants. I was in Africa for about 2 and 1/2 weeks. You can check out my photos at my flickr site.
