A Little Bit of Asia I've mentioned before how Houston is a multi-cultural city. It didn't use to be that way, until the last thirty years or so. Now you have parts of town where English is almost the second language. but with this brings variety and new sights. This is the entrance to a Buddhist Temple and sits in the shadow of a tall pagoda. Before entering, you must remove your shoes. Outside, I saw a lot of loafers and sandles. Me, I brought sneakers, which meant I was always the last one getting mine back on and tied.
Flight Deck No one ever wants to go to war, but in retrospect, World War II was a great time for aviation. Great leaps in naval aviation, the jet fighter and many other advances were made. It's amazing how much technology seems to improve during times of battle. This recreation of the USS Cabot light carrier can be found at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida. Built using original plans, the USS Cabot (CVL 28) island provides visitors with a perspective on the size of the light carrier. Above and on deck you will find warbirds from that era.
Business Districts The highest my office has ever been is on the second floor. Of course, my window only looked out over the parking lot. Whenever I get a chance to go up in a tall office building, I'm always impressed by the view, both below and above. You can see storms coming from miles away, helicopters flying by and traffic congestion on the roads. It's probably for the best I don't office there. I'd never get any work done. This is a look at the Four Leaf Towers on the left and the Four Oaks Place office buildings in the distance in west Houston.
