I have lived in a couple of states in USA! And traveled to many others. A total of 22 states so far!
Seattle is a lot different! So far always I have been telling people, you visit one place in USA, and they are pretty much the same everywhere- roads, Walmart, other chains of groceries and restaurants, houses and downtown! Wanna know how Seattle stands apart?
1. Evergreen... They hardly use Plastic bags. It's brown paper bags or cloth bags everywhere! :D Rarely you can spot a plastic bag, and then again they are very minimally used! Unlike some places where literally every item uses a plastic bag each! LOL.
2. Surprise... There have umbrella's around a strip mall. Yes! It is said to rain a lot here. Haven't experienced it much yet though.
3. I love this one... There are open roofs on the top of apartments in downtown! Beautiful view from there! Would surely be awesome during summers!
4. Funny... A place called International District or Chinatown... has street names written in Chinese! Would never expect that :O
5. Interesting... In Shops like Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, where the shop were in multiple floors, with escalators, there were a escalator path for the carts too... May be this is in other states- But I am seeing it for the first time in four years! :P
6. OMG... Nobody was out on Thanksgiving eve for Black Friday shopping... Roads empty... shops too... hardly any deals.. All my expectations on the floor! :P
7. A well built city... With Tunnels, Bridges, Wider roads, multiple HOV lanes, HOV lanes even on ramps! But still traffic is a nightmare! :/
Today's my 24th day in Seattle! :D So it's just the beginning! :D
