Love thy neighbor
We hung out with our Shri-Lankan neighbor last weekend. We ate at indian buffet and watched a movie and play date with our cats. They gave us indian food recipe book, we might cook some indian later. Koob broke 2 glasses in the kitchen. Oh, we bought him commando jacket, he is getting use to it now. We did Uncharted 2 treasure hunting again since we missed most of them last year. I created my vision statement on my google doc and started using google tasks to be more proactive. Almost 2 more months before we goto Mongolia. This weekend thinking about going out to hiking place in utah with our neighbors and maybe practice some landscape photoshooting with our 7D if the weather permits. Other than that circle of life is circling and rolling.

Life is Good
Greetings All,
Lately I have been busy with school. I am studying Supply Chain Management and I am loving it. I have also been very busy getting trophies by playing Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood. It is so awesome and I can't get enough of it. I am pretty good online. What can I say, I am a master assassin.
Anyway, things have been going well. We have really been into Indian food lately. Our Sri Lankan neighbors are great. They showed us an awesome Indian restaurant and then we all went to a n Indian market and bought spices. I have been crazy about eating spicy food! Here is a look at one of our meals! Yumm!
Last weekend Panda Express had a "Buy one get one free" events so we went out to eat. It was packed as you can see from the picture and we got free merchandise. Pretty cool!
How cute is Koob!!! haha Don't forget Dex!
How cute. Notice the "30 Jumbo Rolls". Dex is getting big, but not THAT big. hehe
Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Fake vs Real
March 1, my new WGU semester is starting today. I will be taking one Ethical Hacking certification class and 2 other cyber law and policy classes. Last semester went well, we will see how this one goes, specially i will be in Mongolia for a month. My thought for the day here... I was reading lately the differences between east and west. One of the major difference i found
from reading different people is that East coast people will tell the truth to outsiders and nice to their families whereas West coast people are nice to everyone but true to their family. Of course this is a stereotyping I am talking about here. There is always exception to rules. I think we can argue both ways. I can see from Western perspective that being nice to strangers and most people since you do not know who they are you do not want to be judgemental and want to be nice to them. For your family, west coast people are little harsh meaning telling them the truth. I can see how for your family you need to tell what they need to hear not what they wanna hear. So that is west coast, makes sense right? or maybe not for some. For East Coasters, they are nice to their families and harsh or true to other strangers. What do you think about this? Is this why East Coast people call west coast people mostly Fake and west coast people call east coast people angry? Which one do you think is right? Perhaps both are right depending on their lifestyle and where they live. East coast there is more work and busy and you do not have time to be nice to everyone being true and honest to people in public is more important than being fake. And people there perhaps do not take it serious. West coast because of more diversity and differences and laid back attitude it is better to be nice to everyone and laid back. I think we can find this comparison not just in the U.S. but in different cultures and countries. Think about in Asia for example people tell you are fat right away. I guess this whole treating strangers vs your family is yet another cultural difference we all face.
