Travel Diaries: Seattle and beyond

Seattle reminded me so much of my home town. Snow capped mountains, fog over the hills, the perfect winter weather that is not brain freezing  and the freshness in the air after the rain. Now combine that with good food, warm coffee and good friends, you have a perfect holiday.

Just a little warning, this post is pretty long, so feel free to browse them in parts by clicking on the links here: Around Issaquah, Pike’s Place Market and Seattle in general, Space Needle, Bellevue and Boeing Museum. Or else just keep scrolling to look at all the pictures!

Around Issaquah:

I stayed with my former college roommate and her husband in Issaquah. The morning of the Christmas day, we decided to go for a walk around their house. It was a beautiful morning.

Bellevue:

Decoration inside a store..so pretty!

What is the most touristic thing you can do when you are in Seattle?

Everything Lavender: 

These mini flowers are made out of clay and hand painted!

Outside Bruce Lee’s grave. It was a little sad to see that people ignored and were stepping on the grave next to Bruce lee (left to Bruce Lee’s grave in picture below) to take picture 🙁

A little excited to see my country’s flag together with other country.
