My Seattle

When I was planning to pursue my studies in the US, I had to choose between 3 cities: Boston, Seattle and San Francisco. I finally chose Seattle for many reasons such as its convenient weather, public transportation system and the ranking of the University of Washington.

I had a different idea about Seattle before I came here. I was a big fan of the TV show, "Grey's Anatomy", which took place in Seattle. Because of what I saw, I have always been under the impression that Seattle is as loud and crowded as New York or Los Angeles. I was surprised when I arrived here. Seattle is very quite and calm!

. . . . .

It is the "firsts" that made me fall in love with Seattle. The first time I travel to the US, the first house that my husband and I live in after getting married, the first time to witness the gloomy winter nourishing a beautiful spring, the first time to see cherry blossom trees in reality ... and much more.

. . . . .

My favorite spot in Seattle is a small local cafe called "Jewel Box Cafe" next to Regal Cinemas in Northgate. This place has the best Nutella Crepe I have ever tried in my life. It also has delicious coffee, great ambiance and very friendly staff.

. . . . .

I love walking downtown. The streets are full of surprises: great music, funny performances and lots of places to visit.

. . . . .

The view from my window is always a sight for sore eyes. The variety of trees amazes me, not only in my neighborhood but in the whole city. You can never see the same trees standing next to each other!

So this is where I am creating new memories .. Now tell me about yours.
