Share with you some photos...

Green Tortoise Hostel is the Youth Hostel that I staying for 4 days.
Youth Hostel = cheap and most of them are backpacker...


This is my dorm, I choose 4 per room, instead of 8 per room, USD$35 per night.
I got the top bunk bed, have to climb up and down...


Seattle's Chinatown! Can you see the dragon on the pole? :)


My dinner at Chinatown, maybe should said is lunch cos by that time is 3pm at Seattle, but I fly from Boston, my tummy is still 6pm... (time zone different!)


I think everyone of you know Starbucks. But do you know the planet's first Starbucks is in Seattle, year 1912. Below are the photos I took. Did you notice the logo was different to the usual one.








I got this special Starbucks card, it only has in this first Starbucks Store.


The difference of the logo.




p/s: Today visited some places, but because of time change (时差), I am so tired, wanna go to bed now, the rest of the photos will share with you later!

I love the dragon on the pole ... it's a shame they don't do more of that kind of thing. Poles would be a lot more interesting if they did - ha ha ...
You have such a busy itinerary ... like royalty - phew! how will you ever keep up with it all. Oh and bye the bye is the bed comfortable?
Take care and enjoy every minute of it. x
