On my way...

well well well... there is more than one reason to get excited this week besides traveling to India. Yeah, I just became one of those guys who switched from PC to a Mac. Finally, months of wait is over and I can play with my own 'leopard' now. Haven't had enough time to play with it though. But I guess I'll get to exploit its features in my coming trip to India. If this excitement lasts for a while, then hopefully you will see the next post on the iweb :)

Guess I'm already on my way to become a 'Mac Freak' :D

US of A

Just came back from a week long trip to what my friend calls as U Stay Alone. Some people call it USA :)
I had a presentation at a conference there in San Jose. The presentation was just a formality. Actually, I was looking forward to meeting some old buddies from college there. The weather was pleasantly cool and I had a really nice week. Went around UC Berkeley, spent some quality time with old pals. All'n'all it was a nice trip. Except only; yeah, the 'security checks' before boarding the flight. But given that it was a 'United Airlines' flight, I was kind of expecting the 'checks'. Didn't piss me off much this time though, cause I had gone through it last time.

But it reminded me of this funny video. How perfect for this kinda situation!! ;-)

ええじゃないか ええじゃないか!

研究室合宿で二日間口湖に行ってきました。一日目は富士急ハイランドとお釣りに分けてありました。合宿で16人も行ったんですが、富士急に興味あったのは5人しかいなかった。コースター大好きな僕がもちろん富士急に決定!

ちょっと遅れて午後2時半に富士急に到着。時間が少なかったから切符を買って早速新しいアトラクション"ええじゃないか"へ。近づいて待ち時間を見るとなんと2時間半!どうするか。あきらめてほかの人気ないアトラクションへ行くか、総回転数世界一のコースターをチャレンジするか。コースター好きの全員でええじゃないかの勝ち!
こんな世界一コースターの始めての体験。大好きっていっても乗っている人が見るとテンションがどんどん高まっていく。後ろ向きにあがってそのままとんでもない高さから90度の阪に落ちるなんてこえぇー!しかも途中でなんと下向きに回転!ええぇー!!

でも乗って見たら意外と楽しい!さすが総回転数世界一コースター!なんと14回転でギネス認定!乗って見ると確かに2時間待つ勝ちがあるなってことがわかる。

時間がなかったのでそれだけで富士急は終了。次の日は予定に入ってなかったのに四人がまた「ええじゃないか」チャレンジしに富士急へ!また2時間の待ちでともう一つのライド。乗れば乗るほど楽しくなっていくええじゃないか。それの影響で後で乗ったKing of coasters 'フジヤマ'も普通に思われた (^_^)

いや、またチャレンジしに行きたいなー、 ええ(はんぱ)じゃないか!
