USA

New Hampshire is the haven for nature lovers (2004).

There are riches that money cannot buy. In fact one can feel like a million dollars without spending a lot of money (New Hampshire).

Sometimes the most beautiful things are the least accessible (Adirondack region in Upstate New York).

Small towns in Upstate New York are most reminiscent of Europe (Lake Placid).

The sunrise in Waco inspired me to get up early in the morning from now on. This suspension bridge in Waco is one of the oldest in America opened in 1870 (Waco, Texas).

Wheaton College was where everything started for me in America (Wheaton, Illinois).

My alma mater MIT has changed me in more ways than one (Cambridge, Massachusetts).

Bemis Hall was my home for 3 years at MIT (Cambridge, Massachusetts).

The idea of a tradition is mostly relative at MIT.

The beauty of creation can be seen everywhere, even in the heart of a bustling big city (Denver, Colorado).

A public library can be fun too (Denver, Colorado).

Simple elegance is hidden inside the State Capitol of Colorado in Denver.

The sun set over Battleship Texas quietly in Le Porte, Texas.

Welcomed guests of the Bay Area, Pier 29, Fisherman Wharf, San Francisco.

Central Park, New York City, where the difference between day and night is also day and night (2006).

Escape from the city in NYC is just a stone throw away. (Central Park)

America is the land of opportunities. Some of opportunities include meeting famous government officials. Picture taken with retired chairman of the joint chiefs of staff General Richard Myers.

Thanksgiving is an American holiday so that it is fitting to spend it with one of the most outstanding American families in town. I only wish that I can describe the taste of the food in the picture.

A uniquely American sight of wide open space and practical intelligence.

Kansas State University founded in 1863 was the first land grant university.

Chattanooga, TN, is a nice small city with friendly people. This picture reminds me of Heidelberg, Germany. It is a good place to live except for the hot and humid summer weather.

The Oconee River, GA, is a favorite venue for sightseeing and white-water-rafting for the locals.
